The Los Angeles Lakers ' LeBron James is not part of any group bidding for an NBA expansion team in Las Vegas. The rumors arose after James' Fenway Sports Group was initially reported to be considering a bid for the Las Vegas expansion team. The city, alongside Seattle, has emerged as a prime candidate for one of the two new NBA franchises. However, with FSG ruling out the expansion which is reportedly set to cost as high as $8 billion per team, James has publicly stated that he is not part of any group bidding for the Las Vegas team, per a post on X by ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "No, I'm not. Not at all," James said. LeBron, who is known to have a net worth of over $1.4 billion, will undoubtedly need a team of investors in order to take charge of an NBA franchise. However, with FSG reportedly backing down, it is now considered "less likely" that LeBron will pursue franchise ownership. Regardless, as things stand, the NBA's board of governors ...

LeBron James has spent over two decades thriving alongside different superstars, always serving as the central figure on his teams. But in the 2025–26 season, he has embraced a completely different role. He has willingly taken a step back, effectively operating as the third option for the LA Lakers without any ego issues. According to Kendrick Perkins , this shift is something fans need to fully appreciate to understand the true weight of his greatness. Advertisement Perk wants everyone to acknowledge LBJ As dominant as Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic have been, averaging a combined 56.8 points per game, their impact has been largely sensed through scoring. That's where LBJ has adjusted perfectly. The four-time MVP has forced on filling the gaps left by those two, creating plays, involving teammates, taking care of transition off ense, and stepping up with timely buckets to prevent scoring droughts when AR or Doncic are on the bench or when the game tips off, ensuring the team...

Mike Krzyzewski did enough as the head coach of the Duke Blue Devils to be considered one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time. Five national titles, 13 Final Fours and countless players who made an impact in the NBA are his legacy, but any mention his career accomplishments has to include what he did with Team USA in the Olympics. In the early 2000s, that American supremacy in basketball was beginning to wane. The 2004 Olympics was the low point, as Team USA lost two games in pool play, then was bumped off by eventual gold medalist Argentina in the semifinals. Enter Coach K . He was hired in 2005 and led what came to be known as th e Redeem Team to an undefeated record and gold in the 2008 Beijing Games.

Monday night marked the 31st regular season matchup between two of the greatest small forwards to ever play the sport of basketball, as LeBron James and Kevin Durant set out to do battle once more. In the end, James took home his 20th regular season victory over Durant after the Los Angeles Lakers shut down the latter en route to a 100-92 victory. Durant faced an aggressive defensive scheme from the Lakers that was geared towards getting the ball out of his hands, and he was held to two points in the second half as a result. This fueled a late-game surge from LA, which allowed them to build a more comfortable cushion for the third-seed in the Western Conference. After the game, James gave Durant the biggest form of respect by saying that every version of the Rockets star is difficult to guard and every single game, he commands as much respect as the Lakers gave him on Monday. "S**t, every version. He continues to get better and better," James said, via @ohnohedidnt...

LeBron James put his body on the line in Saturday's win over the Denver Nuggets, and he paid the consequences. The Los Angeles Lakers star posted a photo on Instagram of a floor burn from when he dove for the ball in the overtime victory. James' diving recovery of the loose ball came at a crucial moment. The Lakers trailed by one point with just under a minute to go, and had Denver come up with the ball, it could've started to put the game away. Instead, Los Angeles' ended up sending the game into overtime, where it won on a Luka Dončić game-winner. Physical sacrifices aren't the only ones James is making these days. He said last week that he's willing to give up posting big numbers if it leads to wins. "I mean, if it benefits others, it benefits the team. The team is most important," James told reporters . "Everybody's successful when we win. So yeah, it is a sacrifice. I know what I'm capable of still doing as an individual, bu...

Recently, the Los Angeles Lakers picked up their fifth straight win with an overtime home victory over the Denver Nuggets. This was an epic contest that featured a game-tying shot from Austin Reaves in regulation, and a game-winning jumper from Luka Doncic in the final seconds of the extra period. The Lakers had Doncic, Reaves, and LeBron James all on the floor on Saturday, which has been somewhat of a rarity this season. Recently, The Ringer's Bill Simmons broke down why he believes that James' m ulti-game absence of a couple weeks ago was actually a positive thing for Los Angeles. "They had a timely LeBron injury, as weird as that sounds. He only left for a couple of games. It reset the calibration, and he came back, and it's been interesting to watch him reinvent himself as this basically third option. Can I rebound? Make some hustle plays?" said Simmons, per The Ringer on X, formerly Twitter. Indeed, many have noticed that James has appeared more wil...

The Los Angeles Lakers have been rolling. They've won five straight games, and they'll look to push that number to six when they travel to Houston to take on the Rockets on Monday night. When it comes to LeBron James' status for the game in Houston, we can expect the star forward to be out on the floor. James isn't listed on the official injury report , indicating that he'll be available to play.  In fact, the only player listed on the injury report for the game for L.A. is Maxi Kleber, who has been ruled out with a back strain.  James played in L.A.'s last two games, but he missed the three before that due to a combination of left foot arthritis and a right hip contusion.  On the season, James has played in 46 games for L.A. and posted averages of 21.3 points, 7.0 assists 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per performance.  The matchup between L.A. and Houston will be important when it comes to playoff positioning in the Western ...

It wasn't always pretty for the Lakers, but ultimately, they got the game into the extra frame thanks to a perfectly executed play from Austin Reaves, and then won it on a late Luka Doncic jumper. At one point in the game, a heartwarming moment occurred when a young fan was captured on the Crypto.com Arena jumbotron showing his enthusiasm for the game. After the game, the kid was given a shoutout by none other than LeBron James himself. "It was a great atmosphere. … That little kid on the jumbotron was definitely – I looked up there – I think he's the reason why we won tonight," said James, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN on X, formerly Twitter.

LeBron James walked onto the Crypto.com Arena, sporting another shiny patch on his jersey for breaking the all-time field goals record. However, the timing added a little extra irony and raised a lot more eyebrows. After all, the Lakers were going against the Chicago Bulls, a team forever tied to 'The'Michael Jordan. So, while James, at 41, is still stacking records, many couldn't help but look at other stats and ask: Does LeBron deserve such recognition that no other legend, not even Jordan, ever received? In the latest episode of the WFAN Sports Radio program, Craig Carton joined the team of doubters and shared his displeasure about LeBron James getting honored by the NBA with another jersey patch. Advertisement "The most narcissistic athlete in the history of all sports," Carton began.
