Lebron James Network

Last week, we heard of an early "Welcome to the NBA" moment from rookie Bronny James, and it came courtesy of his own father. But that play — where LeBron took Bronny baseline for the score — was lacking Bronny's take. On Monday, Bronny was asked about the play. And honestly, his answer didn't disappoint. We got a glimpse of what the father-son dynamic could be like with the Lakers this season. When the moment was brought up in an interview at Lakers media, Bronny — with LeBron seated besides him — had to roast his father by claiming that the future Hall of Famer stepped out of bounds. LeBron wasn't going to let Bronny have that either. "What do you mean you're not going to go there? You just went there!" That banter is going to be wild to hear as the season gets going.

LeBron James, DeShawn Stevenson (Images Credit: Getty Images) LeBron James has had many rivals during his 22 years in the NBA . One of his most famous rivals is DeShawn Stevenson. Their rivalry started in 2008 because of a comment Stevenson made. This remark led to a strong feud between them that was visible both in games and in the news. The competition between LeBron and Stevenson became a big story, with fans and media following every moment of their interactions. An Instagram account recently brought up that feud and shared a quote from James, saying the Washington Wizards couldn't come back from a 3-1 deficit. They really couldn't. LeBron responded to this on Instagram, saying, "Come at the King. You best not miss! By the way, I was 23 years old! Haha!"

Claim: A photograph shared online in late September 2024 authentically showed LeBron James wearing a French maid costume. In late September 2024, a photograph spread on social media allegedly showing NBA star LeBron James wearing a French maid costume while posing in a mirror. "Ain't no party like a Diddy party," one X user captioned the supposed selfie ( archived ), which had amassed more than 36 million views as of this writing.

Getty LeBron James #23 of the Los Angeles Lakers shouts to his son, Bronny James #6 of the USC Trojans, during Bronny's game against the California Golden Bears. LeBron James followed through on his declaration that Bronny can't call him dad on the court. LeBron showed that early in one of their first scrimmages as Los Angeles Lakers teammates. He's not here to baby his eldest son. Not while they are on their job. Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka revealed things got heated between the father and son in one of the team's pickup games. "[Bronny] got switched onto LeBron, and LeBron took him baseline, up and under off the glass," Pelinka told reporters on September 25 . "The words exchanged afterward were probably more challenging than anything else." That particular play sent a message to Bronny about the reality that he is about to face as he gears up for his historic NBA debut. ...

Speaking to media members on Wednesday, new Lakers coach JJ Redick said that while concrete plans haven't been made, he intends to include both players in the process.

There will be tons of fanfare surrounding Bronny's first game, and when he officially takes the cour...

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were destined to cross paths at some point. The most dominant players in NBA history have consistently called the Lakers home, with the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, and Shaquille O'Neal predating James. One of the other shared elements of James' career and the Lakers' legacy is the general public's need to dissect every moment of their existence. James has been in the spotlight for over 20 years, during which time he's pieced together a legendary résumé that includes four NBA championships. He won the fourth of those titles with the Lakers in 2019-20—a ring that's been widely discredited due to the fact that it was won at the height of COVID-19, when games were played in the fanless NBA Bubble. During a recent appearance on BustaJack Golf , Lakers shooting guard Austin Reaves discussed the manner in which detractors perceive the 2020 championship and scoffed at the idea that it counts less t...

LeBron James has been accused of artificially inflating the price of his son's jersey at an auction as the youngster prepares to make his NBA debut with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2024/25 season. The James are already billionaires but that didn't stop them commanding a fee of $38,500 for one of Bronny James' Summer League jerseys with the four-time NBA champion even being accused of purchasing it himself. "Jersey was originally estimated to sell for $6K-$10k," J. E. Skeets told the No Dunks podcast. "Bronny's Summer League jersey. game in which I think he scored two points (4 points, 2-9 FG). He struggled." His co-host, Trey Kerby then made the suggestion that Bronny's dad bought it himself by saying, "This will look sweet in LeBron's man cave. $38,000 is a lot of money unless you're a billionaire." The suggestion seems to be that James' alleged decision to purchase at $38,000, far above the rate f...

Although LeBron James has secured his place on the NBA's Mount Rushmore, his perceived lack of variety in one-on-one matchups remains a hot topic on talk shows. This prompted Kwame Brown to expand on this narrative during his appearance on the Swish Cultures podcast. The 42-year-old believed the Lakers talisman has failed to develop a mid-range or post-game even after spending 21 years in the league. Brown argued that the 4x champion's gameplay thus continues to center around shooting threes and driving to the basket. He then pointed to Paul Pierce's signature mid-range jumper to further challenge James' superstar status, saying , "The old-school players wouldn't have any trouble with LeBron because, at 39, he should have developed a mid-range and a post-game, and he still hasn't yet… His game really hasn't evolved outside of a three, and putting his head down and going to the basket. He doesn't go like Paul Pierce, getting to a spot, pul...

Bart Young/NBAE via Getty Images Arguably nobody in NBA history has been under more of a microscope and faced more scrutiny than LeBron James throughout his career, and Los Angeles Lakers teammate Austin Reaves believes that scrutiny is why some downplay the title the team won inside the Disney World bubble during the 2020 playoffs. "It's not a Mickey Mouse ring," he said during an appearance on BustaJack Golf (26:20 mark). "… Everybody had an equal playing field, I think it's the same as every other year. I just think if Bron doesn't win it, then nobody says anything. Everybody hates Bron. Actually, everybody loves LeBron, but he gets so much hate." Reaves wasn't yet on the Lakers at the time, as his rookie season came during the 2021-22 campaign. So he brings more of an outsider perspective than other members of the Lakers would, and he recognized the difficulty of the situation. The NBA season was put on hold beca...

Kobe Bryant, Tayshaun Prince And LeBron James (Images Credit: Getty Images) Tayshaun Prince, a former NBA player known for his strong defense, has shared important thoughts on guarding two basketball legends: Kobe Bryant and LeBron James . Both are famous for scoring and impacting the game, but they present different challenges for defenders. Prince talked about these challenges on TNT's "KG Area 21," hosted by Kevin Garnett. Moreover, he explained how each player's style and physicality change how defenders should play. When guarding Kobe, Tayshaun Prince stressed the need to stop him from reaching his "sweet spots." He said. "With Kobe, there was a sense of you have to make sure that you don't let him get to 'sweet spots' because it was a rhythm thing with Kobe. Get to footwork, know what he wanted to do. The fadeaway, stuff like that. He is 6'6″, I'm 6'9″, let me use my length. If I could just stay close, stay on the ...

By HoopsHype | September 21, 2024 LeBron James: "You know, it's definitely different in the sense of, you know, just mentioning with Bronny being a part of the team now. I mean, I'm looking at you two guys right now. I think it's one of the greatest things in the world to be able to work with your kid, you know. So, this week we got back into the gym, and it was really the first time that me and Bronny were on the floor as professionals training, going against each other, preparing for the season. And there were a couple moments where I kind of just lost focus, you know, and I'm not used to losing focus when I'm out on the floor. But, you know, a couple times I was just looking to the side, watching him, watching him prepare and watching him go after it. And it's going to be an unbelievable year for myself, and I hope for him as well." Source: YouTu be What's the buzz on Twitter? Kamenetzky Brothers @ KamBrothers F...

Team USA brought home their fifth straight Olympics gold medal this summer with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James at the helm . It was James' third gold medal and it's not a stretch to suggest that Team USA might have been in trouble had he not been on the roster. But prior to the actual games being played, James had an incredible honor bestowed upon him in getting to be the flag bearer for the United States during their boat parade as part of the opening ceremonies. During a recent episode of the show, 'Gojo and Golic' as part of the DraftKings Network, James spoke about receiving that honor . "I didn't know how to feel about it. I had seen so many different flag bearers and so many great athletes carry our flag and represent our country. We come into a team meeting and Steph [Curry], he did the video for me and then said in front of the team that I had become elected alongside the great Coco Gauff," James said. "The moment just kind of h...

Being teammates in the NBA can eventually turn into a love/hate relationship, as you live and share your locker room every day with fierce competitors that not only want the best for their team, but also individually. Carmelo Anthony recently shed some light on the complexity of fighting for the same jersey, when he named his favourite teammates of all time. We are not saying this is the case between the former All-Star and LeBron James, but we can only speculate this after Melo snubbed the Lakers forward off his list. This surprising omission has sparked controversy over the nuances of their relationship. It all started on the latest episode of his podcast 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony & The Kid Mero. "I think out of all the teammates, it would have to be, I would say, it would have to be J.R. Smith and Kenyon Martin because that's who was on my team for the longest of all of our years. "We was in Denver. We was here in New York," Melo shar...

As he heads into his 22nd NBA season , speculation about his retirement swells.  Though James has hinted that his retirement is approaching, he still seems eager to continue playing. His agent, Rich Paul, has even expressed hopes that James will extend his career by another two or three seasons. However, the news cycle took an unexpected turn recently when ESPN analyst Adrian Wojnarowski announced his retirement. Wojnarowski is leaving ESPN for a new role at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University. This move comes despite having three years remaining on his contract with ESPN. The announcement of Wojnarowski's retirement before LeBron James has led to a wave of comical and lighthearted comments online. NBA fans have taken to social media, playfully suggesting that Wojnarowski's decision ...

All-NBA seasons from LeBron James and Anthony Davis weren't enough to lift the Lakers past the 1st round. Offseason Re-signing: Max Christie, LeBron James Additions: Coach JJ Redick, Christian Koloko Draft: Dalton Knecht (No. 17 pick), Bronny James (No. 55) Departures: Coach Darvin Ham, Spencer Dinwiddie (to Mavs), Taurean Prince (to Bucks) Unsigned Free Agents: Harry Giles III, Skylar Mays Last season Let's get to the positives: LeBron James and Anthony Davis were superb. Davis reaffirmed his status in the league as a high-impact player on both ends of the floor (24.7 points, 12.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game). As for James, he brought bounce to his 21st season, leading the Lakers in scoring (25.7 ppg), assists (8.3 apg) and steals (1.3 apg). Both were All-NBA players . The rest, however, were plagued with inconsistency and underperformance. Austin Reaves had moments, as did D'Angelo Russell. But once the playoffs began, the Lakers leaned too h...

Stephen Curry and LeBron James might have seemed like the best of friends back in July when they conquered a gold medal with Team USA during these past 2024 Paris Olympics, but this wasn't always the case. Moreover, a certain NBA insider recently talked about the time that both players' camps were involved in a heated debate over who was the GOAT.  Sam Amick of The Athletic reminded us about this time in NBA history. "We were at all those Finals where I don't care what LeBron says now," he recalled. "It's not a matter of them having animosity toward one another, but they were rivals. "Their camps didn't always love the way that the other player was talked about. LeBron's people did not love it when people started calling Steph the best player in the world. There was a tension that was real." Nowadays, there is no doubt that they are both future Hall of Famer that helped define this basketball generation. However, even thou...
