The Los Angeles Lakers faced a tough night in Arizona as they were blown out by the Phoenix Suns, losing 127-100 on Tuesday. Despite LeBron James' efforts, the Suns overwhelmed the Lakers, particularly in the third quarter, where they capitalized on defensive lapses to take full control of the game.

The loss marked the Lakers' third straight defeat, dropping their record to 10-7. While the team struggled collectively, LeBron became the focal point of criticism.

Following the game, LeBron's former teammate Kendrick Perkins added fuel to the fire. Perkins took to social media after the game to express his disappointment with LeBron's performance.

"Bron was horrible tonight defensively, and his body language was unacceptable," Perkins wrote in X.

LeBron finished the game with 18 points, eight rebounds, and ten assists in 35 minutes, putting up a near triple-double. However, his shooting efficiency was less than stellar, going 7-for-16 from the field and just 2-for-7 from beyond the arc.

The GOAT conversation often comes up between LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Recently, former NBA star Stephon Marbury shared his thoughts on the topic during an appearance on The Mark Jackson Show, firmly siding with Jordan as the clear GOAT.

"When I look at Kobe, I'm like, 'How is LeBron better than Jordan when he isn't better than Kobe? LeBron James is the best all-around player that this game will ever see. It won't be nobody like him. But he will never be better than Michael Jordan. I'm sorry," Marbury said.

The GOAT debate continues to be a topic of discussion in the NBA. Ultimately, the answer may come down to personal preference, but the discussion ensures that both players' extraordinary contributions to the game will never be forgotten.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare.

Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels.

But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
