"All these people that are on our team, or really in the league, grew up as Bron fans" - Austin Reaves on how LeBron James' presence is inspiring everyone in the league

As  LeBron James  prepares to enter his 23rd season, fans are witnessing something extraordinary - over 70 of the current players weren't even born when he made his debut in 2003. Such longevity is practically unheard of in all sports, but for the four-time MVP, it's not about defying "Father Time," but still competing at the highest level as one of the top 10 players in the league. And for  Austin Reaves , that very hunger and commitment from his Lakers teammate is what inspired everybody on the team, as well as all other young players across the league. Reaves on what value LeBron holds in the league Reaves' own journey makes this admiration even more meaningful. Going undrafted and then signing with the Lakers in 2021, he naturally had a limited ceiling and was seen as a role player who could contribute to the team now, but after LeBron wholeheartedly took AR under his wing and made him learn about the insights of the game - from scoring to playmaking - he...

Gilbert Arenas Calls Out Michael Jordan’s “Cigars In Rotation” While Defending LeBron James’ Hennessy Partnership

LeBron James and his "second decision" announcement had the potential to create an earthquake in the NBA landscape. Instead, it turned out that Bron was simply shaking his table louder than necessary. It wasn't a retirement or a team change. The King had joined hands with liquor brand Hennessy in a new partnership, which has since been heavily criticized. But as always, LeBron has his backers, with Gilbert Arenas being one of them. Arenas believes that James has earned the right to promote himself after giving his 100% to the league for 22 years. He's 40 years old now and is still looking to play a key role in a team chasing the Championship. So, a little fun and some extra money on the side to go with it? That isn't as scandalous as some in the NBA community are making it out to be. Plus, it's not like James was the first to promote brands this way. Arenas, in a podcast and then on X, compared him to the likes of Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabba...

Fallout from LeBron James Injury Presents Perfect Opportunity for Clippers Trade if 2 Conditions are Met

As LeBron James hits the sidelines with lingering sciatica in his right side, the Los Angeles Lakers' performance over the next month could determine whether he considers a switch to rival teams once he's healthy.

First reasonable explanation of sudden LeBron James injury is tragically ironic

He made it clear that the cause is unknown, but he did say it is worth asking. James will be re-evaluated in three to f our weeks and will likely miss even more time .

Fans know the care and dedication he has to his body, but there has been plenty of luck involved. LeBron has been an iron m...

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been dealing with the nerve issue that is expected to sideline him for the start of the 2025-26 season for more than two and a half months, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Friday. Charania said Friday on NBA Today that James' injury "first occurred in late July, early August during an on-court workout." Due to that injury, James "had not done much basketball for well over a month" prior to Sept 29 opening of training camp, per Charania.

Lebron James to be Sidelined At Least 3-4 Weeks Due to Sciatica

Not the ideal start to the upcoming season Laker fans were hoping for With the 2025-26 NBA season imminent, stunning news has just emerged from the Lakers' training camp regarding our beloved basketball legend. For roughly the first month of the season or so, Luka and the rest of the Lakers will hit the hardwood without their team leader and starting small forward, LeBron James, who has been diagnosed with sciatica on the right side of his back torso.

At age 40, a health concern of this magnitude is something new for James' illustrious career, who's held a remarkable track record as one of t...

Did Enes Freedom blame Lakers’ LeBron James for Russell Westbrook’s current NBA uncertainty?

The Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James is entering what will be his 23rd year in the NBA, and 8th with the franchise. While he is generally seen as a superstar who elevates his teammates, former Boston Celtics man Enes Freedom Kanter recently spoke at length about the impact James has had over one specific former teammate, in the form of Russell Westbrook . Westbrook arrived in LA back in August 2021 , lost his starting role after the first season, and eventually made his way to the Los Angeles Clippers in February 2023. "It all started with the Lakers, as soon as he went to (the) Lakers. I don't wanna blame anyone. I don't wanna blame LeBron or whatever, but it's hard to play for the Lakers man," Freedom can be seen explaining, via Sideline Sources. The 33-year-old claimed that Westbrook was "picked" as the scapegoat after his first season when the Lakers finished 11th in the Western Conference, missing out on the postseason. Westbrook ave...

LeBron James teased 'the decision of all decisions' announcement. It was an ad

LeBron James had another "decision" to announce. Turns out, it was an ad. The Los Angeles Lakers star teased that he would have something to say Tuesday. The "decision" reference is a nod to how he announced in July 2010 that he was joining the Miami Heat. It was supposed to come out at noon Eastern, but Hennessy — the cognac brand that James has been partners with for some time — made the announcement public about 90 minutes ahead of schedule. James' training schedule for the day changed, the brand said, necessitating the change in release plans. "This fall, I'm going to be taking my talents to Hennessy V.S.O.P," James said in the clip. Even the wording he used in that announcement mirrored how he announced that he was joining the Heat 15 years ago with his infamous "take my talents to South Beach" line. Hennessy announced that it would be releasing a limited edition orange bottle featuring James' name on the label and his signatu...
