LeBron James is still the biggest name on the Los Angeles Lakers roster. But it’s becoming clearer by the day that it’s slowly becoming Anthony Davis’ team to lead. AD powered LA in Game 3 with a monster showing, pouring in 31 points and 17 rebounds in a 111-101 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. A […]

Anthony Edwards is well on his way to becoming one of the best playoff performers in the history of the NBA. The Minnesota Timberwolves guard proved as much on Sunday after he helped the team win Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets and avoid an NBA playoffs sweep. Edwards exploded for 34 points, 6 rebounds, […]

Dillon Brooks continues to refuse to say what LeBron James told him during their chat before Saturday’s Game 3 showdown between the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers.

When LeBron James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA scoring record, he should have stopped to thank one man: Spencer Haywood.

Abdul-Jabbar, himself, even jokingly blamed Haywood’s groundbreaking court […]

Following the Los Angeles Lakers‘ relatively easy Game 3 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, LeBron James made one thing clear: He’s done talking about Dillon Brooks.

It is well-known that Gilbert Arenas works overtime at the hot take factory. His latest fiery point, though, is a particularly interesting one that again forces the public to revisit the never-ending Michael Jordan LeBron James greatest-of-all-time debate.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks made a serious mistake calling out Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James after Game 2 on Wednesday, according to NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins.

For years, NBA’s biggest heels have gravitated towards LeBron James like moths to a flame and, this year, the Memphis Grizzlies are no different.
