LeBron James on playing with Bronny: 'It’s going to be an unbelievable year for myself, and I hope for him as well'


By | 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?

Everywhere he goes, he wins, both on and off the court. He invests in himself, in his education, in partnerships, and helps others.

You know, when you're so engulfed and you're in training mode and you're in determined mode, and you're so engulfed on the preparation and the process, sometimes you can lose track of some of the things that happen throughout the course of the season where you should celebrate or you should appreciate it a little bit more. So, I think with Bronny being here now, I think I can have a moment or two where I can just sit back and be appreciative of just the moment itself because it doesn't last forever." -via YouTube / September 21, 2024 LeBron on whether he might get into broadcasting like Tom Brady: "You know, I don't know. I definitely love the sport. It would be great. I see Tom Brady doing it, and he's been great so far. And, you know, we will see, even if it's just a guest appearance, you know, one game or two when I'm done playing. But it's always fun to give back to the game because the game has given me so much. So, if it's basketball, if it's football, if it's whatever, I love the word 'sport,' because it's given so much to me and my family. And it's only right that I give back to it." -via YouTube / September 21, 2024

NBA Monday Morning Shootaround: LeBron James, The Hunger Games, and More - Bleacher Report

Welcome to the "Monday Morning Shootaround," Bleacher Report's recap of the weekend that was in the NBA. Along with getting you caught up on the weekend’s playoff action, we’ll give you a sneak preview of what could potentially be the greatest basketball book of all time, show you the best 70-year-old playground superstar ever, and tell you about a young star that just might choose religion over the fame and fortune of the NBA. The Opening Tip * ABC cameras caught LeBron James reading The Hunger Games before the Miami Heat played the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Shortly thereafter, the Miami Heat small forward proceeded to go into full Katniss Everdeen mode to the tune of 40 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists as the Heat pulled out a hard-fought 101-93 victory. After a slow start, Heat guard Dwyane Wade finished with 30 points, nine rebounds and six assists of his own. But Sunday afternoon was all about James and his gaudy numbers, virtually all of which we...

Breaking Down the Differences Between LeBron James and Kevin Durant - Bleacher Report

LeBron James and Kevin Durant are being coined as "the future of the NBA 's next generation." That is certainly true, but they aren't exactly on the same level. LeBron and Durant are two different players, who bring varying skills to different facets of the game. Instead of just comparing them in a "who's the best" fashion, let's take a minute and break down which player excels in each and every facet of the game of basketball. Ahead is a breakdown of the differences that exist between LeBron and Durant.  Scoring Ronald Martinez/Getty Images LeBron 2011-12 Per-Game Stats: 27.1 points, 53.1 FG%, 36.3 3P%, 77.1 FT% Durant 2011-12 Per-Game Stats: 28.0 points, 49.6 FG%, 38.7 3P%, 86.0 FT% Scoring is what Kevin Durant does.

Luka Dončić joins LeBron James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West as only Lakers to post 30 points and 15 assists in a game

LeBron James joined a club of one on Tuesday , while Luka Dončić joined a club of four. With 30 points and a Lakers career-high 15 assists, Luka Dončić became only the fourth player in Lakers history to post those totals in a single game in a 136-115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. The other three: James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West. We'll call that a solid group. That performance included a stretch of three straight 3-pointers to set the tone in the first quarter. It was once again the LeBron and Dončić (LeBrončić?) show, as Dončić's co-star posted 34 points on 10-of-18 shooting, eight rebounds and six assists. Center Jaxson Hayes also had one of the best games of his Lakers career, scoring 19 points on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting plus 10 rebounds. Dončić was two points away from tying his Lakers career high in points as well, and likely would have gotten it had L.A. not taken its foot off the gas in the fourth quarter. After a back-and-forth first half in which the P...
