Lebron James Network

The Washington Wizards are hoping to avoid a historic loss tonight as they host LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers at Capital One Arena. The Wizards have lost 15 straight games, which is one shy of the team's losing streak from earlier in the year that spanned across the entire month of November and dipped into the early part of December. The Wizards haven't won since New Year's Day, and they aren't showing signs of getting better after losing by 24 points to the Toronto Raptors last night at home. The Wizards scored a season-low 82 points in the loss, so they will look to have a better effort tonight. The Wizards also are hoping to break a streak on the second night of back-to-backs. The last time the Wizards won a game without any full days of rest came back on Feb. 14, 2023. They have lost 25 conseuctive games of this nature since then. Perhaps that could change tonight, but it won't come easy with LeBron and the Lakers in town. Los An...

LeBron James is a fan of Rutgers freshman guard Dylan Harper. "I've been watching him for quite a while," James said Monday about the son of former Chicago Bulls star Ron Harper (h/t Brandon 'Scoop B' Robinson.) "He calls me unc, I call him nephew." The Los Angeles Lakers star continued: "Special kid, special talent. He's going to be really good in this league." "Comes from a great family, obviously. Me and Harp, his pops, go back, a while back," James said. "So, I'm excited for what he's doing right now at Rutgers, and what he's going to continue to do in the future." Harper is averaging 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 steals through 19 games at Rutgers. He sits at No. 2 in the latest 2025 NBA Mock Draft by Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman . Wasserman wrote about Harper in his latest mock: Harper has made a strong impression this seaso...

LeBron James has scored the most points in NBA regular-season history and scored the most points in NBA postseason history.  But are those his most impressive scoring records?

The NBA's trade deadline is fast approaching, and teams have little over a week left to trade players. As the basketball world focuses on Jimmy Butler 's situation, a Sacramento Kings star wants out. Superstar De'Aaron Fox has stated his wish to leave the franchise that drafted him. The 27-year-old came under a lot of heat for his hand in the firing of former head coach Mike Brown . He clarified that he had nothing to do with . His team's 9-4 record since has moved them back into play in spots. That has further fueled that rumor, making it seemingly uncomfortable for Fox. He was ecstatic ahead of the start of the season when DeMar DeRozan joined them in free agency, which could push them to battle for top playoff spots. However, it seems he does not want to be a part of the experiment as Shams Charania revealed earlier. The Sacramento Kings have decided to open up on a potential trade of De'Aaron Fox ahead of the Feb 6th trade deadl...

Welcome to the  NBA  Hater Report: A breakdown of some of the players, teams and trends around the league that are drawing the ire of yours truly. If you're not a fellow pessimist, proceed with caution.  Negative LeBron? It's hard to hate on a 40-year-old who is one of two players in the league averaging at least 23 points, nine assists and seven rebounds while leading his team, which was widely predicted to be a cellar dweller, to a top-five seed in the Western Conference entering play on Tuesday.  Yes, we're talking about LeBron James , who was just named an All-Star starter for the 20th consecutive season, and the Lakers , who have more than kept their head above water, even if they have done so by beating up on bad teams (16-2 against sub-.500 opponents).  All of that notwithstanding, there is one number that pops out more than perhaps any other on LeBron's ledger: minus-2.7. What that means is the Lakers are losing the minutes that LeBron is on the cour...

Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers impressed fans on Monday as they defeated the Charlotte Hornets 112-107 on the road, with the Hornets losing LaMelo Ball in the second quarter. The team announced that Ball was ruled out for the rest of the game after suffering a left ankle sprain. He finished with seven points, one assist and one steal. Despite the Lakers nearly allowing a Hornets comeback, Davis amazed fans as his 42-point, 23-rebound double-double carried the Lakers to their fourth straight win: In addition to Davis' double-double, he added two blocks while shooting 61 percent from the field, and the Lakers improved to 26-18 on the season. Meanwhile, LaMelo Ball and the Hornets' struggles continued, falling to 12-31. Alongside Davis' standout performance, LeBron James finished the night with 22 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists in the victory. Austin Reaves contributed 17...

The Kansas City Chiefs stamped their third consecutive trip to the Super Bowl and their fifth appearance in six years. Patrick Mahomes' outstanding career has easily propelled him to one of the best players in NFL history. However, his player comparison to the NBA is where things get tricky. Hall-of-Fame NFL legend Shannon Sharpe had to compare Mahomes to either LeBron James or Michael Jordan. Unwillingly he leaned with the Bulls legend as the comparison for the Chiefs star. Sharpe took to ESPN's First Take to discuss the Chiefs following their 32-29 victory over the Bills. Mahomes is one-of-a-kind on the football field, and his success in Kansas City reflects that. But First Take mediator Molly Qerim posed the question asking if Mahomes is more like Jordan or LeBron . It took Sharpe constant berating from his co-hosts before he gave a clear answer. He said, "I am gonna say Michael Jordan because LeBron was a facilitator and he got everybody else involved. ...

It seems like up until this point, the biggest debate about Bronny James is where should he be playing. Well, he finally made his return to the G-League and he temporarily muted his critics. James scored a G League career-high 31 points in the South Bay Lakers' 122-110 win against the Rip City Remix Friday, Jan. 25. It had been a while since we've seen Bronny in G-League action, and he was obviously ready to go. James led South Bay to its second victory of the season by hitting 5 of 11 3-pointers to go along with his new career high. The G League Lakers are second-to-last in the Western Conference with a record of 2-7. This is the first G-League game Bronny has played in since Dec. 21. The highlight of the night was without a doubt James' poster dunk. James took the ball up the court late in the third quarter of South Bay's game against the Rip City Remix, dribbled it past a screen from his teammate Christian Koloko, and drove down the lane for a massive dru...

On Thursday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics (at home) by a score of 117-96. LeBron James and Anthony Davis combined for 44 points, 22 rebounds and nine assists. After the big win, Hall of Famer (and Lakers legend) Magic Johnson sent out two posts (via X). Johnson's first post : "I enjoyed watching my @Lakers beat the Boston Celtics last night 117-96 led by LeBron James with 20 points and 14 rebounds, and Anthony Davis's 24 points. The key to victory was Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent scoring 13 points and 12 points off the bench respectively." Johnson's second post: "The Lakers played 4 quarters of really good basketball on both ends of the court against the Celtics." With the victory over the Celtics, the Lakers are now 24-18 in 42 games, which has them as the fifth seed in the Western Conference. They are in the middle of a two-game winning streak (and have gone 6-4 over their last ten). At home, the La...

Jevone Moore/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Anthony Davis and LeBron James have their sights set on another championship after their first NBA Finals victory as teammates occurred in the Disney World bubble during the 2020 playoffs. "One, we want to win it for this city," Davis told ESPN's Shams Charania (3:10 mark). "Two, we never got a parade. Three, it's a lot of talk about an asterisk next to a championship which I believe was probably the toughest championship to win. Him and I are very very motivated to win another championship." Los Angeles opened its 2019-20 campaign with a 49-14 record before the season was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It eventually resumed inside the Disney World bubble without fans, as testing and protocols were in place to prevent players from spreading the illness. James and Davis helped the Lakers take down the Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets during the Wes...

It appears the Golden State Warriors dynasty is coming to a close. The team has lost 19 of its last 28 games, many of those defeats coming with Stephen Curry in uniform, and now sits under .500. It's an unthinkable collapse for a championship organization considering that Curry is still a top-10 player in the league by many advanced metrics. As our own Kevin O'Connor outlined this week, it might be time for Curry and the Warriors to part ways just as Paul Pierce and the Celtics did back in 2013, a tough decision that successfully laid down the next championship foundation for Boston. If Curry were on the trade block, there's no shortage of teams that, in theory, would be interested in adding the greatest shooter who ever lived. Who wouldn't? But with this new collective bargaining agreement and the trade restrictions it sewed for many teams in title pursuits, Curry's contract will likely prove to be too onerous. The 36-year-old is owed $55.8 million this sea...

The Los Angeles Lakers ' first trip to the Los Angeles Clippers ' new arena, the Intuit Dome, did not go well. They lost to their L.A. rivals, 116-102, on Sunday night. The defeat prompted some interesting comments from LeBron James and coach JJ Redick .  "We don't have a huge margin for error," Redick admitted during his postgame press conference. "It has to be emphasized daily to touch the paint, to play paint-to-great mentality, make the extra pass. We don't have a guy on our team that's going to necessarily always draw two to the ball. We don't have a guy on our team that's going to be able to get past his guy one-on-one and get to the paint and spread it out to the perimeter. Like, that's just not our team. So we have to do it through connectivity, through execution. And when we do that, we're really good." Indeed, the Lakers are 27th in the league in drives per game (37.9) and 23rd in catch-and-shoot 3-point attem...

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on the lowly Washington Wizards in what will be their second-to-last home game before they embark on a six-game road trip. The Lakers will look for their 23rd win of the season and their 15th in front of their home crowd. These are crucial games the Lakers must come out on top of as they look to climb their way in the Western Conference standings. They must win this game, and luckily, they will have their superstar forward, LeBron James, on the court. James, who was on the injury report due to left foot injury management, has been upgraded to available. James continues to appear on the team's injury report but didn't appear to be in any danger of sitting out Tuesday's clash. The expectation was that the team would officially clear him closer to tipoff, which ended up being the case. The 40-year-old superstar was seen at the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame National Championship on Monday night in Atlanta, Georgia. He was ...

LeBron James expressed his appreciation for Travis Kelce on Saturday night. The Los Angeles Lakers star took to X to congratulate the Kansas City Chiefs tight end for setting the NFL record for the most 100 receiving yard games in the postseason during the Chiefs 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans. Kelce had seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown in the victory and accounted for more than half of the team's total yards. It was his ninth playoff game with at least 100 receiving yards, which broke the tie between Kelce and legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice. James is a noted supporter of the Cleveland Browns but Kelce is from the Cleveland area and James also appeared on Wednesday's episode of the New Heights podcast that is hosted by Kelce and his brother Jason. While James may not root for Kelce and the Chiefs all of the time, his support after Saturday's performance shows that he is hoping Kelce continues to make the record boo...

CNN  â€"  LeBron James has achieved almost everything you can in the NBA . But for a brief moment, it could’ve been a very different story. James is a well-known, passionate NFL fan â€" he has been seen throughout the years at games involving his hometown Cleveland Browns â€" but during the 2011 NBA lockout, he “absolutely” considered switching the hardwood for the gridiron. “I didn’t know when we were going to make the deal with the owners and get our league back going,” James said on Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast , hosted by Super Bowl-winning brothers Jason and Travis Kelce. “So I actually thought about it a little bit back then. “I was still young enough to get out there with y’all. That’s the only time I’ve seriously considered it. I’ve had serious dreams about this sh*t all the time. And in my dream, the ball is never kicked off. It’s me in the warmups, it’s me coming out, running my routes and rig...

LOS ANGELES — LeBron James said he has been "off" and emotional since the fallout of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires , which have raged for more than a week around the L.A. area. In his first news conference since the fires started, James shared Wednesday night that he had close friends who lost their homes and that he and his family — including his wife, three children and mother — all had to evacuate from their Brentwood, Calif., home Thursday. "There's been a lot of emotions," James said. "I have a couple of dear friends that have lost their homes in the Palisades. Obviously, my heart goes out to all of the families, all across not only the (Pacific) Palisades, but all across L.A. County and all the surrounding areas because of the fire and things of that nature. It's been a lot of emotions. "Per sonally, I've been off," he continued. "Personally, my family, we've been evacuated since Thursday night, so I've been in a...

LeBron James shared a special moment with a fan during (and after) Wednesday's game vs. Miami. In Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat, LeBron James made a young Lakers fan's night. In the first quarter of the Lakers' eventual 117-108 win at Crypto.com Arena, James noticed a girl sitting courtside wearing a replica of his jersey. He gave her a wave and turned his attention back to the game. The girl's priceless reaction at the time — shedding tears of joy while smiling ear to ear — wasn't something James noticed at the time. But it was caught by the broadcast on Spectrum SportsNet and quickly went viral. Once the game was over, James found the girl, gave her one of his wristbands and posed for a photo in what was a memorable moment for the young fan. "To have that type of connection with someone, where they can have that type of reaction, I think that's what it's all about, you know? I've always tried to be a role model ...

The Cavaliers and Thunder go head-to-head once again in a rematch of conference leaders Thursday on TNT/TruTV/Max (7:30 ET). •  Get NBA League Pass TODAY > The teams holding the best conference records as midseason approaches are Cleveland and Oklahoma City, and here's the strangest part: It's 2025. Not 2010. Or 2015. There's no Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook or James Harden. No LeBron James or Kyrie Irving. Those franchise players left a while ago and these franchises not only recovered but thrived, to the extent they each have a legitimate claim to being the best team in the league. The Thunder and Cavs meet Thursday ( 7:30 p.m. ET, TNT ), and if they stay on pace no matter who wins, they're each staring at 65-plus wins and the top seeds in the Eastern and Western Conferences. While other contending teams have dealt with lapses — even the defending champion Celtics — the two conference leaders are enjoying robust, win-streaky seasons. The...
