It was on March 20, 2013 when LeBron James, then with the Miami Heat, debuted arguably his most iconic celebration of all time, dubbed “The Silencer”. And it could not have come at a better time; with a 23-game winning streak on the line, the Heat found themselves down by as many as 27 points […]

Last week, Los Angeles Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka said LeBron James was preparing for his 21st NBA season like a “rookie.” Apparently, it only took two days of training camp for LeBron to resemble his early prime. “Without question,” Darvin Ham responded when asked if LeBron has his […]

LeBron James is entering his 21st NBA season and his sixth as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Injuries that James has had to deal with have lessened this team’s chances of getting back to the NBA Finals after winning it all in the 2020 NBA Bubble, but even at 38 years old, James […]

It may be hard to fathom, but LeBron James is approaching his 21st season in the NBA.

Arguably, no other team’s additions have been talked about more this off-season than that of the Los Angeles Lakers, and all of these moves are reflected in their win total projections. The Lakers have the fourth-highest projected win total in the Western Conference this year, with a line set at 47.5. Second-year head coach Darvin Ham […]

It was a refreshingly breezy 2023-24 Media Day for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lakers fans will have to thank the Denver Nuggets for that, though. As every […]

Matt Leinart is USC football royalty in his own right. A two-time National Champion and a Heisman Trophy winner, he was probably the best quarterback to ever don the cardinal and gold. Until now.

When Anthony Davis is consistently making jumpers, he — and the Los Angeles Lakers — are virtually unstoppable.
