LeBron James is no stranger to controversial playoff moments, and in Game 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves , he found himself at the center of another hotly debated call. In the dying minutes of a crucial 116-113 loss for the Los Angeles Lakers , James was whistled for a foul during a defensive play where he argued that the "hand is part of the ball."  After the game, a video from an NBA expert confirmed that LeBron's interpretation was correct, highlighting a key, often misunderstood rule that has surfaced before in high-stakes moments. In his postgame press conference, LeBron was calm but firm in his objection .  "That play happens all the time. Hand is part of the ball. That's what they say. I felt like the hand was a part of that ball. His hand was on top of that ball, and the ball stripped out on him. Seen that play over and over before, but it is what it is." The rule LeBron referenced is not just a casual saying, it's codified ...

In hindsight, it's a bit surprising how comfortably Anthony Edwards deferred to the NBA's elder statesmen at the Olympics. The brashest player in the NBA happily came off of the bench as Stephen Curry , LeBron James and Kevin Durant led Team USA to gold. Never mind that he'd just swept Durant out of the playoffs. He played only 13 minutes when Team USA overcame Nikola Jokić and Serbia in the semifinals. Maybe the game wouldn't have been so close if Edwards had seen more minutes. After all, he'd just beaten Jokić in the playoffs too. That Olympic tournament set up what essentially became the narrative of professional basketball for the next year. It was supposed to be one last ride for a legendary generation of American players, one that would set Edwards and his generational cohort up to take the torch gracefully. Instead, James partnered up with Luka Dončić, Curry got Jimmy Butler , and Kawhi Leonard , not even healthy enough to go to Paris, started to...

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday as their first-round series shifts to Target Center. The Lakers and Timberwolves will break their 1-1 deadlock, with the former having the momentum after their impressive win in Game 2, 94-85. Advertisement With the Lakers expecting a hostile crowd in the next two games, they need to be more composed than ever. So for James, what better way to relax and decompress before Game 3 than by watching a completely stress-free show: The 2025 NFL draft. Or so it seemed.

Kevin Gates pulled up to the Los Angeles Lakers game at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night (April 22), which had social media buzzing on the heels of his controversial remarks about Lakers star LeBron James and his wife, Savannah James. Over the weekend, Kevin Gates took to social media detailing a conversation he had with a friend regarding how he wouldn't want to switch places with LeBron James and explained that he didn't like the way James' wife looked at her superstar husband. More from Billboard "We was talking about how LeBron do the little handshake with Savannah. Then I came, maybe I notice s–t people don't notice. They were like, 'What if you had LeBron money?'

Doug Gottlieb and his Green Bay Phoenix on Sunday reportedly landed a big-name player -- one named LeBron.  No, he has no relation to LeBron James, but the addition of LeBron Thomas should provide Gottlieb's program a promising young prospect around which to help establish backcourt depth for the 2025-26 season.  Thomas spent last season in junior college playing for Vincennes where he averaged 15.9 points and 4.4 assists per game. He was a First Team NJCAA All-American for a team that finished 30-4. Gottlieb is coming off a trying first year at Green Bay where the team finished 4-28 in a season that included public sparring with the other LeBron , an early-season injury to the team's best player and lots (and lots) of losing. The team finished with 25 losses in its final 27 games, including a 72-70 home loss in December to Division II Michigan Tech. There were signs of life from Green Bay down the stretch of the season even if the final record doesn'...

The most surprising result from the first day of the 2025 NBA playoffs was the Minnesota Timberwolves ' 117-95 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of their first-round series . After taking the lead early in the second quarter, the Wolves never trailed again and spent the entire second half up by double digits.  The Timberwolves dictated the action on both ends of the floor all night long and, after the defeat, the Lakers' coaches and players admitted that they weren't prepared for their opponents' toughness.  "They're one of the best teams in basketball," Lakers coach JJ Redick said. "It's not to say our guys weren't ready to withstand a playoff-level basketball game. We were mentally ready. I thought our spirit was right. I thought even when they made runs, our huddles were great. The communication was great. "I'm not sure physically we were ready, if that makes sense. And really, when they started playing with a...

LeBron James might be one of the most revered basketball players of all time, but his most underrated skill might just be his memory. Over the years, he's built a reputation for crafting personalized handshakes with just about everyone: teammates, coaches, kids, and even sideline staff. Some of those handshakes have been around for a long time. His signature handshake with former teammates like Dwyane Wade and Kyrie Irving must be etched in his memory by now. However, LeBron keeps co-signing more people for the honor, which must make it difficult for him to remember. Now, there's one person who is still waiting to be knighted by LeBron. His superstar teammate Luka Doncic arrived in LA a couple of months ago. Surprisingly, LBJ hasn't come up with a unique handshake for his new teammate. The Slovenian recently talked about it during his Spectrum Sportsnet Exclusive interview. Luka was asked, "It seems like everyone in his [LeBron's] life, he has a specia...

As the Minnesota Timberwolves prepare to clash with the Lakers in the first round of the NBA playoffs, most of the national media has already made up its mind: LeBron James and company are expected to advance. But for Edwards, that's not an insult, it's motivation. LeBron James' reaction on the bench raises concern among fans who fear for his immediate future "I just love it," Edwards said about the Lakers getting the bulk of the attention. "It's dope.

With each passing decade, elite athletes seem to become faster, stronger and, dare we say it, better. Performance improves and, consequently, records tumble. But some records seem otherworldly. No matter what future technological or scientific advancements may be made, they feel out of reach and unbreakable. Although that is what many thought of Wayne Gretzky's NHL's goals record, and then came along Alexander Ovechkin. For 31 years, Gretzky reigned as the all-time goalscorer in the NHL with 894 goals. That was before 39-year-old Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals overtook that landmark on April 7. Gretzky still holds a few records widely regarded as   untouchable — his ridiculous 1,963 career assists, for instance. All of this has le d us to consider some other records in sport that are thought of as unlikely to be broken. Could they, too, one day be beaten, or are there some records that will forever remain in the history books? Soccer Furthest goal: 96.01 meters (104....

LeBron James has played in the second-most games in NBA history. LeBron James — the NBA's all-time leader in scoring and minutes played — moved closer to another all-time spot on Wednesday night. James played in his 1,561st career regular-season game (a 112-97 win in Dallas), moving him past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for sole possession of second place on the NBA list. Only Robert Parish, with 1,611 , has more than the 40-year-old James. It was his 418th game in seven seasons with the Lakers, after 849 games with Cleveland and 294 with Miami. Earlier this season, James entered the Top 5 in games played  on Nov. 16 and needs 51 games to move ahead of Parish for the top spot. Next season would mark James' 23rd in the NBA and he has played in at least 55 games in each of the last four seasons (including 71 in 2023-24 and 69 this season). He is closing in on another place on the all-time stats list as well as he needs three more 3-pointers to surpass Reggie Miller...

For the past two months, Dallas Mavericks fans have missed watching Luka Dončić play in their building. For one night at least, they got to see him on the American Airlines Center floor again. Sadly for them, it was in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform. The five-time All-Star led the Lakers into Dallas and stomped the Mavericks with 45 points in a 112-97 victory. It was his best game in purple and gold, and it took the Lakers within one win of clinching the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. It was an emotional game for all parties involved.
