Lebron James Network

LeBron James has seen just about every type of player come through the NBA, but his first impression of Austin Reaves still stands out. During a recent episode of his "Mind the Game" podcast with Steve Nash, the Lakers star reflected on what caught his attention when Reaves first joined the team as an undrafted guard. The moment offered a mix of humor and insight. James did not just praise Reaves' skill, he highl ighted how unexpected it felt based on his early evaluation, per The Sports Rush. "After we signed him, I went back and watched a lot of his Wichita State highlights and games and then a lot of his Oklahoma highlights and games as well," James said. "The first thing I noticed, it's kind of funny… he didn't play like a white boy. It was very different. His wiggle was very different." That comment quickly became the focal point of the conversation, especially as James continued to explain what he meant. "I grew up...

Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith is never one to shy away from having an opinion. Smith is sharing that opinion about Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James . On the ESPN show First Take Tuesday, Smith said James is making a case this season that he could be the greatest NBA player of all-time. "The greatest case for LeBron James being the G.O.A.T., in my opinion, is being made by him this year. … The Lakers are in a better position than most people anticipated," Smith said. Smith made the comments following the Lakers loss on Monday night to the Detroit Pistons. James finished the game with 12 points in 39 minutes on the floor. He posted a double-double, as he also dished out 10 assists. Smith framed his argument by first saying that he believes Michael Jordan is the GOAT. The commentator then went on to make his case that James at least deserves consideration for GOAT status. "He gets to the basket. He leads the NBA in fast-break points…..he is doing whatever ...

LeBron James, the 41-year-old veteran and current player for the Los Angeles Lakers , already has to be considering what comes next for the upcoming NBA season if he continues playing in the league. According to Ramona Shelburne, "Teams aren't expected to offer LeBron $50M annually in free agency," and "the door is open for a return to L.A. if he's willing to take a pay cut," which raises the question: Has LeBron ever taken that step in his career? Historically, James has prioritized securing the maximum salary to protect the market value of players, but this would not be th e first time he sacrificed money for a competitive goal. The most notable instance came in 2010, during the formation of the Big Three with the Miami Heat. To make the contracts of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh fit under the salary cap, LeBron signed a six year, 110.1 million dollar deal, leaving roughly 15 million on the table compared to the maximum he could have earned...

MIAMI, March 22 â€" LeBron James broke the NBA record for most regular-season games played yesterday, taking the court for his 1,612th in the Los Angeles Lakers last-gasp 105-104 victory against the Orlando Magic. The 41-year-old basketball icon’s appearance took him one clear of the mark of 1,611 held by Robert Parish since his retirement in 1997. The four-time NBA champion had equaled Parish’s tally on Thursday in stunning fashion, posting a triple-double in the Lakers’ win over the Heat in Miami. It had looked as if James’ milestone appearance yesterday would be tinged with disappointment with Orlando poised to end the Lakers’ eight-game winning streak, leading 104-102 with three seconds on the clock. But a sensational buzzer-beating three-pointer with 0.6sec remaining from Luke Kennard rescued the Lakers to make it nine consecutive victories. The Lakers improved to 46-25 to tighten their grip on third place in the Western...
