LeBron has repeatedly indicated a desire to retire with the Lakers but hinted at a possible return to the Cleveland Cavaliers at the All-Star break last February.

While LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have always been the more popular team, that doesn’t mean they are the better squad right now.</p><p>In his latest appearance on <a href="https://youtu.be/8t54eqg2Z8s" rel="noopener">NBA Today</a>, Perkins went beyond when asked who had the better offseason between the Lakers and Clippers. For him, the Clips had the best offseason in the NBA this 2022, noting how <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/los-angeles-clippers/roster/" rel="noopener">deep the squad is</a> with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and John Wall leading the way.</p><p>Perkins also noted how the Clippers have the better coach in Lue, who has punished the Lakers since his arrival. With that, he sees the team winning it all in 2022-23.</p><p>“But I’m looking at the Clippers, I have them as my favorites to win it all. I mean when you think about the coach in Tyronn Lue. Since Tyronn Lue has been the head coach of the Clippers, LeBron James hasn’t beaten him one time and so that says a lot. Also, you have a healthy Kawhi Leonard coming back, we saw how Paul George finished the season,” Perkins explained.</p><p>“The Clippers right now, they are really really dangerous, they are really deep, and I think they have the best team in the NBA when they start this season.”</p><p>Considering the uncertainties about the Lakers’ roster, it’s easy to see where Kendrick Perkins is coming from. The Clippers are a well-built team as well, and they are really well-poised to dominate if they can stay healthy.</p><p>Of course a lot can happen in a season and there are other factors to consider. But until the Lakers prove they have a championship contender with their current roster, it’ll be hard to change the mind of Perkins … and probably several other NBA fans for that matter.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He made a name for himself by being the most vocal critic of LeBron James throughout his pro career. Recently, he took aim at his son, Bronny. Bronny James currently plays high school basketball at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles.</p><p>After a video was released where Bronny drove and threw down a jam, Bayless took to Twitter saying “Your dad wouldv’e dunked it left-handed.” That sent social media ablaze with fans blasting Bayless for his criticism of the 17-year-old James. But they weren’t alone.</p><p>On Tuesday, ESPN’s Jalen Rose took a shot at Bayless as well.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jalen Rose would like to remind you Skip Bayless averaged 1.4 points in high school<a href="https://t.co/mAmLmcgAEX">pic.twitter.com/mAmLmcgAEX</a></p><p>— Dime (@DimeUPROXX) <a href="https://twitter.com/DimeUPROXX/status/1559651636389318656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 16, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Nobody should be overcritical of high school players, in particular those of professional athletes.

Skip Bayless’ high school basketball career is well known and <a href="https://deadspin.com/report-basketball-hero-skip-bayless-actually-averaged-5900305">documented</a>.</p><p>Bayless of course used to work for ESPN for many years. He and Stephen A.

The report notes LeBron’s connection with Oregon via Nike, as well as Bronny’s relationship with the Ducks’ new five-star pick-up, Mookie Cook. Bronny and Cook were teammates during middle school, and the latter also played the role of a young LeBron James in a recent movie entitled <i>Shooting Stars</i>.</p><p>Southern Cal and Ohio State are the two other programs that were identified as Bronny’s possible future schools.

There’s immense pressure carrying the James surname and being the son of a transcendent basketball talent, but Bronny’s confidence is not wavering in the slightest. In the contrary, it seems to be motivating him even more.</p><p>By the looks of it, we’ll see more of Bronny on LeBron’s social media in the months to come. Now here’s to hoping they’ll get to fulfill their dream of playing together in the NBA.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

‘Posters run in the fam’: LeBron James still can’t get enough of Bronny James’ epic dunk

However, he still had to throw a bit of a jab by saying that LeBron James would have done it differently. Dare I say that Skip just heaped a bit of praise on LeBron?</p><p>It wouldn’t be the first time. Bayless himself recently shared his thoughts on the prospect of LeBron playing alongside his son, Bronny, in the NBA. According to Skip, he “<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/i-wouldnt-put-it-past-this-guy-skip-bayless-claims-lebron-james-could-play-with-bronny-and-bryce-in-nba/">wouldn’t put it beyond</a>” LeBron to achieve this tremendous task. As a matter of fact, the Fox Sports broadcaster even believes that James could even extend his career to be able to play with his second son, Bryce.</p><p>You have to note that this is Skip Bayless we’re talking about here, and he’s probably one of the biggest LeBron haters on the planet. For him to say this about James speaks volumes of how much respect he has for the four-time NBA champ. It’s just that Skip has much more fun throwing jabs at LeBron as opposed to giving him his flowers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was not an awful campaign for him, but there’s no denying that the Lakers will want to see more from the 6-foot-4 shooting guard in 2022-23.</p><p>LeBron James and Co. might just get what they want from Horton-Tucker this coming season. The 21-year-old recently made a lot of noise in a Dreamville Chi League pro am game, and based on this performance alone, it seems that THT is poised to make a much bigger impact for his team this year (h/t <a href="https://twitter.com/Ballislife/status/1558688602518917122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1558688602518917122%7Ctwgr%5E074d1661b60b2cc0cd1955ba25c1216aabe3c386%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Flakersdaily.com%2Fvideo-talen-horton-tucker-shows-off-his-bag-at-dreamville-chi-league%2F">Ballislife.com</a> on Twitter):</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Lakers' Talen Horton-Tucker Back Home in Chicago at Dreamville Chi League Pro Am <a href="https://t.co/T21dFjcL6i">pic.twitter.com/T21dFjcL6i</a></p><p>— Ballislife.com (@Ballislife) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ballislife/status/1558688602518917122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 14, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Talen Horton-Tucker showed off his entire bag in what turned out to be a dominant display in the pro am circuit. He looked unstoppable as he drained bucket after bucket. His inside-out game was on full display here as THT also showcased accuracy from three-point territory.</p><p>In 60 games played last season, Horton-Tucker averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/hortota01.html">10.0 points</a>, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.0 steals in 25.2 minutes per quarter. These numbers aren’t bad, but they’re not exactly noteworthy either.</p><p>THT now has two more years remaining on his current deal where he’s set to earn $10.2 million this coming season. Intriguingly, he has a player option on the final year of his contract, which means that if he so chooses, he could decide to opt out and become a free agent in the summer of 2023. Needless to say, there’s going to be a lot riding this season for Horton-Tucker.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, he hasn’t officially committed to any college yet. USC and UCLA would make sense for Bronny since LeBron James plays in Los Angeles with the Lakers. However, the James family is from Ohio so Ohio State would be a reasonable option as well. Other schools that have been linked to Bronny include Michigan and Oregon.</p><p>There are some question marks in his overall game. But scouts feel as if Bronny could excel at the next level. Regardless of your thoughts on his skill level, this dunk should leave no questions about his pure athleticism. That was a true NBA-esque dunk. LeBron James reacting to his son’s highlight play is expected. But when someone like Donovan Mitchell reacts, you know it is well-worth the hype.</p><p>Bronny James is aiming for a successful senior year at Sierra Canyon High School this year. Fans of Sierra Canyon will be elated for the season after seeing Bronny’s amazing dunk.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
