In the Wild, Wild NBA Western Conference, health, not hype, will decide who reigns supreme in the 2025-2026 regular season, and ultimately which team will win the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Steph Curry vibing with the Warriors got NBA fans excited for the season Trying to predict next season's Western Conference standings feels less like analysis and more like survival forecasting, according to NBA analysts. For NBA.com writer Steve Aschburner, the top finishers won't necessarily be the ones with the flashiest stars or the most explosive offenses - they'll be the ones that stay upright. In a conference this deep and brutal, durability, not dominance, could be the ultimate separator. Taylor Rooks flaunts her curves as she shows how she stays in shape at 33 OKC, not the Lakers, is still the favorite in the West Last year, the Western playoff race was so tight that six teams were separated by just two games. That razor-thin margin isn't going away. The Okl ahoma City T...

NEED TO KNOW LeBron James spoke about not wanting to "be alone" while on an episode of his wife Savannah's podcast The Lakers star said he'll "fight, crawl, scratch, bite, whatever to keep" his marriage going LeBron noted that as an "only child" who grew up in "a single-parent household," he knows "next time I'm alone, it would be underneath" LeBron James said he'd do whatever it takes to make his marriage to Savannah work. During an appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Savannah's podcast Everybody's Crazy , the NBA superstar, 40, spoke about the lengths he'd go to for his wife. "I know I don't want to be alone, that's for damn sure," LeBron said. "If I got to fight, crawl, scratch, bite, whatever to keep mine, I got to keep it. I've got to do what I've got to do." The Lakers star noted that he's "an only child" who grew up in a ...

The Lakers will take a slow and steady approach to LeBron James's return to the court. LeBron is currently out due to sciatica on his right side and has been dealing with this injury since August . So it makes sense the team won't want to rush the oldest player in the NBA back in any way. Advertisement Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Wednesday that the Lakers see mid-No vember as a realistic possibility for LeBron to make his season debut. That timeline makes sense given that the Lakers will reevaluate LeBron at the end of October at the earliest. It was always unlikely that he would go from his reevaluation to playing immediately after. That would be pushing things and reckless for a player entering his 23rd season who just took months to get his body right. When LeBron returns, the hope is that he's back for good. The best way to put him in that type of position is to take your time bringing him back. Advertisement While this return timeline is new, the Lakers...

As  LeBron James  prepares to enter his 23rd season, fans are witnessing something extraordinary - over 70 of the current players weren't even born when he made his debut in 2003. Such longevity is practically unheard of in all sports, but for the four-time MVP, it's not about defying "Father Time," but still competing at the highest level as one of the top 10 players in the league. And for  Austin Reaves , that very hunger and commitment from his Lakers teammate is what inspired everybody on the team, as well as all other young players across the league. Reaves on what value LeBron holds in the league Reaves' own journey makes this admiration even more meaningful. Going undrafted and then signing with the Lakers in 2021, he naturally had a limited ceiling and was seen as a role player who could contribute to the team now, but after LeBron wholeheartedly took AR under his wing and made him learn about the insights of the game - from scoring to playmaking - he...

LeBron James and his "second decision" announcement had the potential to create an earthquake in the NBA landscape. Instead, it turned out that Bron was simply shaking his table louder than necessary. It wasn't a retirement or a team change. The King had joined hands with liquor brand Hennessy in a new partnership, which has since been heavily criticized. But as always, LeBron has his backers, with Gilbert Arenas being one of them. Arenas believes that James has earned the right to promote himself after giving his 100% to the league for 22 years. He's 40 years old now and is still looking to play a key role in a team chasing the Championship. So, a little fun and some extra money on the side to go with it? That isn't as scandalous as some in the NBA community are making it out to be. Plus, it's not like James was the first to promote brands this way. Arenas, in a podcast and then on X, compared him to the likes of Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabba...

LeBron James is an American basketball player who is the NBA's all-time leading scorer. His stellar performances on the basketball court earned him a nickname, 'King James'. He has won four NBA championships and three Olympic gold medals. Coming to his personal life, LeBron is married to Savannah James. The couple has been together since children before tying the knot in 2013. The duo are now proud parents to three children. In a recent podcast, the NBA star opened up about how different it was for him and his wife to become parents at a young age.

Two of the NBA's elite, LeBron James and Stephen Curry, consistently captivate audiences whenever the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors meet, be it in the regular season or during the high-stakes playoffs. Anticipation is high among fans as the Lakers and Warriors prep are for a preseason clash today, with hopes to witness both superstars on the court. Meanwhile, the head coaches are focused on finalizing their rosters to ensure a strong start to the upcoming NBA season. Despite the Lakers ' rocky 0-2 start in preseason play, the Warriors' perfect 2-0 record may signal positive momentum heading into a season shaped by significant offseason trades across the league. While Luka Doncic headlines the Lakers' lineup, Jonathan Kuminga emerges as a potential game-changer for the Warriors, supported by other pivotal players suc h as Jimmy Butler and Al Horford. Both LeBron James and Stephen Curry will sit out today's Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State W...

As LeBron James hits the sidelines with lingering sciatica in his right side, the Los Angeles Lakers' performance over the next month could determine whether he considers a switch to rival teams once he's healthy. The team announced he will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks. This injury ends his personal streak of playing in 22 consecutive opening night games. LeBron James' absence to open the season has unexpectedly set the stage for a potential blockbuster intra-city trade involving the Clippers—provided two critical benchmarks are met. James is in the final year of his contract, and his agent, Rich Paul, previously stated that winning a championship is the top priority. According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, James will closely watch the team's performance without him. "LeBron's gonna be watching this team while he's out. And if while he is out, they are struggling, that could lead to the next step that w...

The Los Angeles Lakers announced LeBron James would miss the start of the regular season with a sciatica injury that may have been caused by golfing. Fans saw James hitting the course often this summer, which was a change for King James. The 40-year-old was clearly working on his game, but Dr. Brian Sutterer questioned if the injury is linked to his new hobby . He made it clear that the cause is unknown, but he did say it is worth asking. James will be re-evaluated in three to f our weeks and will likely miss even more time . This will be his first opening night missed in his 23-year NBA career, and nobody knows when King James will be back. James has been incredibly healthy over his first 22 seasons. He has played fewer than 55 games in a season just once and averages 71 per year for his career. LeBron has avoided a major injury for more than two decades. Fans know the care and dedication he has to his body, but there has been plenty of luck involved. LeBron has been an iron m...

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been dealing with the nerve issue that is expected to sideline him for the start of the 2025-26 season for more than two and a half months, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Friday. Charania said Friday on NBA Today that James' injury "first occurred in late July, early August during an on-court workout." Due to that injury, James "had not done much basketball for well over a month" prior to Sept 29 opening of training camp, per Charania. The Athletic's Dan Woike reported Thursday that James is expected to miss between three to four weeks, a span that includes the Lakers' season opener, with "sciatica on his right side." "For him to be out to start the season, and miss his first ever opening night, it shows an admission by him and the Lakers that he needs more time to ramp up, get into basketball shape, get into the right basketball conditioning that he is accustomed to," Charan ia s...

Not the ideal start to the upcoming season Laker fans were hoping for With the 2025-26 NBA season imminent, stunning news has just emerged from the Lakers' training camp regarding our beloved basketball legend. For roughly the first month of the season or so, Luka and the rest of the Lakers will hit the hardwood without their team leader and starting small forward, LeBron James, who has been diagnosed with sciatica on the right side of his back torso. Sciatica is a type of irritation involving the sciatic nerve, which happens to be the largest nerve found in the human body and is caused by either a herniated disk or spinal stenosis.  Symptoms of sciatica typically include a pain and/or numbing feeling that affects the lower back area, lower leg area, and buttocks, causing deep waves of discomfort upon movement. At age 40, a health concern of this magnitude is something new for James' illustrious career, who's held a remarkable track record as one of t...

The Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James is entering what will be his 23rd year in the NBA, and 8th with the franchise. While he is generally seen as a superstar who elevates his teammates, former Boston Celtics man Enes Freedom Kanter recently spoke at length about the impact James has had over one specific former teammate, in the form of Russell Westbrook . Westbrook arrived in LA back in August 2021 , lost his starting role after the first season, and eventually made his way to the Los Angeles Clippers in February 2023. "It all started with the Lakers, as soon as he went to (the) Lakers. I don't wanna blame anyone. I don't wanna blame LeBron or whatever, but it's hard to play for the Lakers man," Freedom can be seen explaining, via Sideline Sources. The 33-year-old claimed that Westbrook was "picked" as the scapegoat after his first season when the Lakers finished 11th in the Western Conference, missing out on the postseason. Westbrook ave...

LeBron James had another "decision" to announce. Turns out, it was an ad. The Los Angeles Lakers star teased that he would have something to say Tuesday. The "decision" reference is a nod to how he announced in July 2010 that he was joining the Miami Heat. It was supposed to come out at noon Eastern, but Hennessy — the cognac brand that James has been partners with for some time — made the announcement public about 90 minutes ahead of schedule. James' training schedule for the day changed, the brand said, necessitating the change in release plans. "This fall, I'm going to be taking my talents to Hennessy V.S.O.P," James said in the clip. Even the wording he used in that announcement mirrored how he announced that he was joining the Heat 15 years ago with his infamous "take my talents to South Beach" line. Hennessy announced that it would be releasing a limited edition orange bottle featuring James' name on the label and his signatu...

Los Angeles Lakers fans can relax, raise a glass of cognac and toast the continuation of NBA superstar LeBron James's career. The league's all-time leading scorer announced his so-called "second decision" on Tuesday and it had nothing to do with the 40-year-old forward's retirement. Speculation ran rampant Monday after James posted a brief video on X, showing him walking forward to sit in a chair opposite an unnamed person. The accompanying caption read, "The decision of all decisions. October 7th. 12pm EST. #TheSecondDecision." The video parodied The Decision, a TV special in 2010, in which James revealed he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign as a free agent with the Miami Heat.  James famously told interviewer Jim Gray, "I'm going to take my talents to South Beach."

When LeBron James announced "The Decision" in July 2010, nearly 10 million people tuned in to ESPN — a huge number (even back then) for non-NFL programming. At the time, with the NFL regular season still months away, it was the third-most-watched cable TV program of the year, behind only the NFL's Pro Bowl and an episode of Nickelodeon's iCarly. (Freddie broke up with Carly because of stupid Sam. It was a whole thing.) So when it came time for "The Second Decision," which James teased on Monday, the world held its collective breath. Just kidding, we all immediately knew it would be an ad and were completely turned off. How? Because they always are . What the ad would be for, however, caught many of us off guard. More from The Hollywood Reporter As the editor who interviewed James this past July tied ( in pa rt ) to his Amazon Prime Day ad, I was instant early money on this being another one of those. Amazon Prime Day might as well be a holiday in my h...

LeBron James has sparked retirement rumours with a video titled 'The Second Decision' on social media. The mystery will be solved on Tuesday. LeBron James has sparked retirement rumours with a cryptic social media post that included a teaser of a video titled "The Second Decision" just a few days before the new NBA season starts on 21 October. The 40-year-old James, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, is gearing up for his 23rd NBA season and remains one of the best players on the circuit. In the previous season, James, who will turn 41 in December, recorded 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game, but his future has been uncertain for a while as he has now just one year left on his contract with the Lakers. He would become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025-26 season. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS ADLeBron James ready to retire? Amid the speculations of the upcoming season being his final, James posted a video on X with a caption: � �The decisi...

What started as a typical Monday turned into the NBA world dissecting a 10-second video clip that LeBron James posted to social media. The caption reads, "The decision of all decisions. October 7th. 12 pm EST. #TheSecondDecision" LeBron's first decision, of course, was when he announced on July 8, 2010, that he was taking his talents to South Beach, leaving the Cavaliers (for the first time) to sign with the Heat in free agency. Presumably, his second decision would be a retirement announcement, right? One would think so, but this is LeBron. Retirement is an option (although it didn't sound like this would be his final season at media day last week), as he's entering his 23rd year of a historic career . It's coming sooner rather than later. LeBron isn't the type to announce his retirement at the end of a season, as it'd mean he wouldn't have a retirement tour. He, of all people, deserves one. If he were to announce tomorrow at 12 p.m. ET that t...

Austin Reaves' grandmother apparently isn't happy with how Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been arguing with her grandson on the court. "My grandma, one day, was so mad at him," Reaves said about James at the 1:12:30 mark of Thursday's Young Man and the Three podcast. "She was like, 'If he yells at you like that one more time...' I was like, 'Mamaw, it's okay.'" Reaves added that he feels he can push back against James if he disagrees with what the Lakers star is telling him on the court. "That's also a good thing about him. You can go back at him," Reaves said. Reaves went on to tell a story that took place during his first season with the Lakers in 2021-22, when James confronted him about what he believed had been a mistake by the undrafted rookie. Reaves responded by getting an iPad from the bench, finding the play, and showing James there was no mistake on the play. "He was like, 'Oh, that's ...

LeBron James has often been called out for his lack of a so-called "killer mentality," something that the likes of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan had in abundance. Critics love to say that LeBron is too unselfish or too focused on making the right play. But the King has shown, time and again, that he does his talking on the court, and what often sparks that side of him is his own teammates. When someone else on the floor starts stepping up or pushes LeBron with a look or a word, you can see that switch flip in his eyes. Suddenly, he's attacking relentlessly, locking in defensively, and controlling every possession like it's personal. Iman Shumpert shared a story about this very thing happening to James during his second stint with the Cavaliers, in a recent edition of his No Limit poker game on YouTube. The 35-year-old talked about how the future Hall of Famer sometimes needed a bit of tough love from his teammates. "They came at Bron at halftime and ga...

LeBron James has not been a big believer in load management over the past few years. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar may finally be ready to admit his age, and give the considerate approach towards his body a shot. Dave McMenamin reported that James was dealing with 'a little bit of nerve irritation in the glute' to open training camp. As a result, the all-time great was held out of practice on Tuesday. JJ Redick told McMenamin the goal was to have LeBron available on opening night aga inst the Golden State Warriors. Jovan Buha thought this was the right approach for the situation. That was the message shared by the Lakers reporter on a recent episode of Buha's Block. After years of pushing back against the idea of less games or fewer minutes, James may finally be ready to accept his fate. The NBA's all-time leading scorer is about to start the 23rd season of his legendary career. That, quite literally, is unprecedented territory. New circumstances demand new ...

The NBA star, nicknamed "King James," flashed the coveted bag charm accessory — that's been taking the fashion world by storm — on his Louis Vuitton bag when he appeared on Kai Cenat 's stream on Tuesday, Sept. 30.

LeBron James is no stranger to using his platform to spotlight stories bigger than basketball, and his latest project with UNINTERRUPTED continues that mission. This time, he's joined by skateboarding icon Tony Hawk for The Main Thing, a digital series created in partnership with Indeed that emphasizes skills, perseverance, and opportunity. In their episode, James and Hawk blend humor with hard-earned wisdom. The two riff on a mock pitch for an energy supplement—jokingly titled KingHawk Fuel 900—before shifting into a candid conversation about what it takes to sustain success across decades. Both athletes highlight how their careers were built on consistency and discipline rather than chasing fame. "I love to train still," James said, describing the joy he gets from simply being in the gym, hearing sneakers squeak, and the ball hitting the rim. "It still feels like the first time I picked up a ball." Hawk echoed the sentiment, explaining that even at 57, ...

LeBron James is stepping into uncharted territory. No player has ever entered a 23rd NBA season, let alone still performing at an All-Star level. The 40-year-old Lakers star sat out the team's opening training camp practice with what head coach J.J. Redick described as a "nerve irritation in the glute." Redick explained the plan is to ease LeBron into the season. "I think it's probably a little bit longer of a ramp up leading into opening night for him," Redick said, via Dan Woike of The Athletic . "Just obviously in Year 23, it's uncharted territory here. So, I felt, and in talking with performance and in talking with (James' trainer) Mike (Mancias) and LeBron, like probably did too much last year in camp, which was great for me as a first-year head coach to get buy-in from him. But it'll be a slower process with him leading into the first game. He's obviously got 22 years so far of wear and tear on the body and he's d...

It's unlikely the debate over whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the GOAT will ever end. While it's becoming increasingly clear that LeBron will have a tough time catching Michael's six championships – the ultimate standard in all of these discussions – his incredible longevity has kept him in the conversation. He's entering a record-breaking 23rd season, just 49 games away from surpassing Robert Parish for the most games played in the history of the Association. At the same time, he has already broken Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record for the most points scored all-time. Ad vertisement Kukoc gave his perspective on the GOAT debate Toni Kukoc , someone who James himself said he admired, won three straight titles with Jordan, and it would seem logical that he would name Jordan as the GOAT. However, in an interview with Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson, Kukoc offered a unique perspective. "When it comes to pure – like okay, Michael from the '80...
