LeBron James Reacts to Scottie Scheffler’s BMW Championship Victory

LeBron James Reacts to Scottie Scheffler's BMW Championship Victory originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

At this point, it feels inevitable—if Scottie Scheffler has a chance to win on Sunday, he's going to seize it. He proved that once again at the BMW Championship in Maryland.

Scheffler entered the final round four strokes behind Robert MacIntyre at 12-under par. But it didn't take long for him to surge ahead, grabbing the lead and holding it throughout. He carded a 67 on the day, securin g a two-shot victory over MacIntyre and claiming his fifth tournament title of the year.

Scheffler sealed the win in dramatic fashion, chipping in for birdie on the 17th hole as the crowd erupted, effectively putting the championship pretty much out of reach entering the 18th and final hole.

Scheffler's performance and the sheer dominance he's displayed on the PGA Tour drew plenty of reactions — including one from NBA superstar LeBron James, who has recently taken up golf this summer.

"Scheffler so damn COLD out there!!" James posted. "Crazy ZONE he's in currently!"

Scottie Scheffler has separated himself from the rest of the golf world by a wide margin in recent years. After a dominant 2024 campaign where he captured seven tournament victories, it would have been hard to believe he could replicate that level of success in 2025 — yet he's come remarkably close, with the TOUR Championship still ahead next week.

Since the Masters, Scheffler has finished inside the top 10 in every event he's entered, including two major wins at the PGA Championship and The Open Championship. His lowest results this season were ties for eighth at both the RBC Heritage and the Genesis Scottish Open, highlighting his remarkable consistency.

In total, Scheffler now owns 18 PGA Tour victories across 148 career events, and he's made the cut in 129 of those starts. Every time he tees it up, no matter if it fulfills him or not, he's always contending for something meaningful on Sunday.

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...
