Lebron James Network

The Los Angeles Lakers and superstar LeBron James are reportedly ready to move on from each other this summer. NBA insider Jake Fischer reported in his latest mailbag on Monday. "Definitively, the Lakers are ready to move on from LeBron James and I think LeBron James is ready to move on from the Lakers as well. That's kind of the foregone sentiment in Los Angeles right now about what's to come this summer." The Lakers have moved on from James as their face of the franchise, and that was evident when they traded for Luka Doncic a year ago. On top of that, the emergence of Austin Reaves has done wonders for the Lakers, who view him as a franchise cornerstone alongside Doncic. Fischer went on to say that Reaves' emergence and the Lakers wanting to get younger and athletic is a major driving point in moving away from James. "That is kind of the foregone sentiment in Los Angeles right now about what's to come this summer. They are going to be retaining Aust...

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green told Melissa Rohlin of the California Post that he "always wanted" to play with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.. "I've always wanted to [play with him]" Green said. "Saying I wanted to go to his team, that's not the case. I'm very comfortable in my situation with 30 [Curry] and what we've built and what we have. But I think him and Steph shared the want to take the court together, and they got the opportunity to do that in the Olympics in Paris. I 've always wanted the opportunity. Just to experience it, to see how he thinks, to see, all right, what I could do to help him and his thinking. Or what can I learn and pick up about what he's thinking." Green and James have never played on the same NBA team. The two have combined to play at the last six Olympic Games, but James (2004, 2008, 2012, 2024) and Green (2016, 2020) have never participated in the same year. There was no lov...

Last Updated:February 02, 2026, 10:29 IST Lakers' LeBron James (AFP Photo) Lakers legend LeBron James was selected to his 22nd consecutive NBA All-Star Game on Sunday (February 1), in a stunning record-extending feat. However, to water down the impact a bit, this was also the first time he was not selected as a starter but among seven reserves from both the Eastern and Western conferences. The 75th NBA All-Star Game will be held o n February 15 in Los Angeles and will introduce a revised tournament-style format featuring one World team and two teams composed of United States players, with each roster containing a minimum of eight players. LeBron, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, was named among the Western Conference reserves despite debate over his selection following an injury-affected season. The four-time Most Valuable Player is averaging 21.9 points, 6.6 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game for the  Lakers, who hold a 29-18 record. "Obviously, it's super humb...

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is known to be nearing the end of his legendary career, and one insider has a bold idea for where he should spend his final years in the NBA. The Athletic's Ian O'Connor suggested that James should consider joining the New York Knicks ahead of his upcoming retirement. O'Connor pointed to his agent Rich Paul saying in a statement this summer that James wants to evaluate what's best for him at this stage of his career and "wants to make every season he has left cou nt." "James should really start thinking about New York as the best way to do that. The Knicks are run by his former agent, team president Leon Rose, and his former adviser, executive VP William Wesley, and they are coached by his former Cavaliers coach, Mike Brown," O'Connor explained. "These men know what makes LeBron tick, and hey, the Garden isn't going anywhere." At 41 years old, James is still playing at a high level. He was ...

Editor's note: an earlier version of this story incorrectly published a full list of potential All-Stars as if they had been named All-Stars. The article has been corrected to reflect the accurate group that was named to the game. NEW YORK — LeBron James is an NBA All-Star for the 22nd straight season, extending his remarkable streak after the league's coaches voted him into the game as a Western Conference reserve. The honor, which was announced before the Los Angeles Lakers lost 112-100 to the New York Knicks, was a mild surprise after James missed the first 14 games of the season with a sciatic nerve issue that cost him much of his summer and the entirety of the Lakers' preseason. "I mean, obviously super humbling. … Mad respect to the coaches and them seeing how I'm still playing at this latter stage of my career," James said Sunday. "And to be able to be an All-Star, that means a lot to my family, my people that's been following my ca reer, ...

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a tough 112-100 loss on the road to the New York Knicks earlier today. They took a lead into the half, but the third quarter saw them get outplayed, which ultimately marked the difference, and LeBron James had to give an honest assessment of their situation post-game. James, after what may have been his final Madison Square Garden appearance, reflected on the Lakers ' season. The loss to New York means they're now 29-19, and are now dangerously close to slipping out of the automatic play-off positions. It could be disastrous for the Lakers to finish outside the top six, and James believes that the current squad needs to improve. "I like this group, but we got to get better. And that's good, we should want to get better," James told the media after the game. "It's a tough Western Conference, it's a tough league. It's been tough all season, dealing with injuries, guys ...

LeBron James often expresses his affinity for Madison Square Garden, an arena he famously dubbed his "favorite playground." It's a sentiment James has repeatedly backed up with epic performances there over the past 23 years. "If I could have 82 regular-season games in the Garden, I would," James said in 2015 , "because it's the Mecca of basketball." Entering Sunday night's meeting with the Knicks in Midtown, James had averaged 28.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game over 33 career appearances at MSG. James' teams were 24-9 in those games. With uncertainty surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers star's future, it is possible Sunday night's game will go down as the 41-year-James' final one at the Garden.

New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown sent a message to Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James ahead of their showdown on Sunday. After the Knicks' win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, Brown was asked about James, and he had nothing but praise for the player he once coached. "He's got to be, if not the smartest guy I've been around in terms of fuel and stuff, he's top-three," Brown said . "Unbelievable talent. Unbelievable human being. He's done a lot for the community. He's done a lot for the NBA." James is not only one of the best players to ever grace the hardwood, but certainly one of the smartest. Nobody knows that better than the longest tenured coach of his career. LeBro n James and Mike Brown's History Together Brown and James were together in Cleveland from 2005-10. He was known as a defensive-minded coach who helped the Cavaliers reach new heights. James had a lot to do with it, of course, but Brown also played...
