During a recent Complex video, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James unveiled an ultra-luxury Maybach S 680 sedan painted in a light ivory non-metallic color, with a stormy blue interior and porcelain-themed seats. According to LeBron, the car is one-of-a-kind because he helped design it. However, James also revealed that he did not just customize one Maybach but two, with the other almost identical to the one he posed with.

MIAMI, March 22 â€" LeBron James broke the NBA record for most regular-season games played yesterday, taking the court for his 1,612th in the Los Angeles Lakers last-gasp 105-104 victory against the Orlando Magic. The 41-year-old basketball icon’s appearance took him one clear of the mark of 1,611 held by Robert Parish since his retirement in 1997. The four-time NBA champion had equaled Parish’s tally on Thursday in stunning fashion, posting a triple-double in the Lakers’ win over the Heat in Miami. It had looked as if James’ milestone appearance yesterday would be tinged with disappointment with Orlando poised to end the Lakers’ eight-game winning streak, leading 104-102 with three seconds on the clock. But a sensational buzzer-beating three-pointer with 0.6sec remaining from Luke Kennard rescued the Lakers to make it nine consecutive victories. The Lakers improved to 46-25 to tighten their grip on third place in the Western...

No player in NBA history has played in more games than LeBron James. Or scored more points. Or made more All-Star teams. We could go on. The Los Angeles Lakers star broke his latest record on Saturday simply by stepping foot on the court for his team's game against the Orlando Magic. It was the 1,612th appearance of his career, breaking a tie with Boston Celtics great Robert Parish atop the NBA leaderboard . James was already the record-holder when factoring in his 292 playoff appearances, which bring his total up to 1,904 games. It was a victor ious record-breaking game as well, with the Lakers winning 105-104 off a game-winning 3-pointer from Luka Kennard. James finished the game with 12 points on 5-of-13 shooting, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. It was the Lakers' ninth consecutive win, though it did come with the potential cost of a one-game suspension for Luka Dončić. James' co-star picked up his 16th technical foul of the season, triggering an automatic ban u...

LeBron James made history in the NBA by surpassing Robert Parish for the most games played, reaching the milestone during the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Orlando Magic on Saturday, the fourth of a six-game road trip, and it raised the question of how many games Stephen Curry has played in his career. LeBron James became the NBA's all-time leader in games played with 1,612. Stephen Curry has played 1,065 regular-season games in his NBA career to date, and in the playoffs, he has appeared in 155 games, totaling more than 1,200 official games. One factor that has impacted Curry is the number of injuries he has dealt with throughout his career, especially early on, when he missed extended time due to ankle issues, which he later worked to strengthen, allowing him to gain more continuity. LeBron James current form It is important to note that James is in the middle of an unprecedented 23rd season in the NBA, and he has already set multiple records as the oldest player to rea...

LeBron James found himself in an unusual situation on the golf course, and the moment quickly caught attention online. A clip shared by Steve Stoute showed the NBA star weighing a risky decision. The footage highlights James' growing connection to golf, a sport he has embraced in recent years. He often plays during downtime and has even shared rounds with top professionals, showing clear enthusiasm for the game. Advertisement This time, however, it was not about technique or competition. It was about whether retrieving a golf ball was worth the potential danger nearby. LeBron James hesitates as alligator lurks near golf ball In the video, shared on Stoute's Instagram story, James approaches the edge of a water hazard where his ball had landed. An alligator can be seen close by, watching his movements as he considers his next step. He debates with his son Bronny James and Stoute about whether the risk is worth it, with the animal appearing to "sneak" closer while...

The Los Angeles Lakers' arrival in Miami on Thursday night felt like a scheduled loss on paper. Coming off a physical battle in Houston less than 24 hours prior, the Lakers were facing a rested and charged Heat squad on the second night of a back-to-back. However, the fatigue that usually plagues teams in the dog days of March was silenced by a three-word declaration from 41-year-old LeBron James. According to Austin Reaves, it was James' refusal to show exhaustion that steeled the roster for what became a historic 134–126 victory. After the game, a tired Austin Reaves told the reporters in the visitors' locker room about why he and Luka Doncic were charged with playing a back-to-back. "When (LeBron) said he was playing, I was like, I can't let a 41-year-old play and I not play, so I signed up to play and so did Luka, and we went and grinded the win out," Reaves told reporters after the game. Advertisement He also acknowledged that the Miami Hea t was not...

Luka Doncic made history with the Los Angeles Lakers after scoring 60 points in the win against the Miami Heat. Still, it was important to put Luka Doncic's achievement into perspective, and the question arose: When was the last time LeBron James reached or surpassed that scoring mark in the NBA? The last time LeBron James scored 60 or more points in an NBA game was on March 3, 2014. During that historic night, he recorded the highest scoring total of his career, putting up 61 points while playing for the Miami Heat against the Charlotte Bobcats, before they became the Hornets. The King reached that mark only once in his career, which was impressive, but it gave the sense that Luka could repeat it in his career, given how things are trending in today's NBA, especially considering the league recently witnessed the second-highest scoring performance in history with Bam Adebayo's 83 points . Doncic gives credit to L ebron Despite the fact that Doncic was the star of the...

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the hottest teams in basketball right now, riding an eight-game winning streak behind Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. The Lakers are starting to look like legitimate contenders, which aligns with LeBron James' wishes. "LeBron wants to compete for a championship," Rich Paul told ESPN. "He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning it all. We are very appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years with Jeanie [Buss] and Rob [Pelinka] and consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career." James has begun to settle into his role as a third option, a transition similar to what some of his former teammates embraced in M iami and Cleveland. Those players—who thrived in that role—also became champions. "Bosh did it for the Heat . The two-time champion lessened his offensive load, and molded himself from...

LeBron James has embarrassed Father Time over and over again during the last several years, but the 41-year-old defied all logic in Thursday's 134-126 win versus the Miami Heat. Following consecutive victories against the Houston Rockets in the Toyota Center, the Los Angeles Lakers arrived in South Beach at approximately 4 a.m local time. Athletes need their sleep, especially when they have back-to-back games, and especially when they are in their 23rd NBA season. The all-time great showed no effects of the short turnaround, however. He posted 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting with 15 rebounds and 10 assists, posting the 124th triple-double of his career. Luka Doncic was the man of the night , carving up the Heat for a spectacular 60 points, but James' huge contributions must be highlighted as well. The Slovenian superstar made sure to do just that, showing great appreciation for his teammate. "Like I said yesterday, you know without him, we wouldn't win," Donc...

Every time Kevin Durant and LeBron James share the court, it still feels like a must-watch event, as two former MVP's and future first-ballot Hall of Famers going head-to-head never gets old. However, as great as both of them are, lately, LBJ seems to have the smoother, more controlled outings. And that's exactly what led Joe Johnson to make an interesting observation. Advertisement According to him, watching Durant carry such a heavy load night after night has likely reinforced why LeBron is perfectly fine taking a step back with the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Johnson knows KD is struggling Despite all the outside noise since the beginning of the campaign, LeBron hasn't forced himself into the Lakers' offense. Instead, the 41-year-old forward has embraced a more balanced role, letting the younger backcourt duo of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves lead the scoring charge. While some would downplay LBJ putting up 21.4 points per game, those numbers do not tell the ...

Ten years ago this August, LeBron James first publicly declared his interest in owning an NBA team. And nearly four years ago, he said he wanted his team to be in Las Vegas. With the league set to take a big step next week toward placing teams in both Las Vegas and Seattle, James' decade-long dream is dwindling. When asked following the Lakers' 124-116 win in Houston on Wednesday if he was still interested big-picture in NBA ownership, James flatly said, "No, I'm not. "Not at all." Fenway Sports Group, James' business partner since 2011 that owns both the Boston Red Sox and English Premier League soccer giant Liverpool, is not currently interested in pursuing the likely expansion op portunity in Las Vegas, two sources with direct knowledge of the firm's intentions told The Athletic. One of those sources, who was not authorized to speak publicly for Fenway, said the global sports investment firm was out on NBA ownership in Las Vegas because of t...

The Los Angeles Lakers ' LeBron James is not part of any group bidding for an NBA expansion team in Las Vegas. The rumors arose after James' Fenway Sports Group was initially reported to be considering a bid for the Las Vegas expansion team. The city, alongside Seattle, has emerged as a prime candidate for one of the two new NBA franchises. However, with FSG ruling out the expansion which is reportedly set to cost as high as $8 billion per team, James has publicly stated that he is not part of any group bidding for the Las Vegas team, per a post on X by ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "No, I'm not. Not at all," James said. LeBron, who is known to have a net worth of over $1.4 billion, will undoubtedly need a team of investors in order to take charge of an NBA franchise. However, with FSG reportedly backing down, it is now considered "less likely" that LeBron will pursue franchise ownership. Regardless, as things stand, the NBA's board of governors ...

LeBron James has spent over two decades thriving alongside different superstars, always serving as the central figure on his teams. But in the 2025–26 season, he has embraced a completely different role. He has willingly taken a step back, effectively operating as the third option for the LA Lakers without any ego issues. According to Kendrick Perkins , this shift is something fans need to fully appreciate to understand the true weight of his greatness. Advertisement Perk wants everyone to acknowledge LBJ As dominant as Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic have been, averaging a combined 56.8 points per game, their impact has been largely sensed through scoring. That's where LBJ has adjusted perfectly. The four-time MVP has forced on filling the gaps left by those two, creating plays, involving teammates, taking care of transition off ense, and stepping up with timely buckets to prevent scoring droughts when AR or Doncic are on the bench or when the game tips off, ensuring the team...

Mike Krzyzewski did enough as the head coach of the Duke Blue Devils to be considered one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time. Five national titles, 13 Final Fours and countless players who made an impact in the NBA are his legacy, but any mention his career accomplishments has to include what he did with Team USA in the Olympics. In the early 2000s, that American supremacy in basketball was beginning to wane. The 2004 Olympics was the low point, as Team USA lost two games in pool play, then was bumped off by eventual gold medalist Argentina in the semifinals. Enter Coach K . He was hired in 2005 and led what came to be known as th e Redeem Team to an undefeated record and gold in the 2008 Beijing Games.

On an appearance yesterday on The Pat McAfee Show, Coach K explained how he helped unite so many superstars under a common cause. "I tol...

Monday night marked the 31st regular season matchup between two of the greatest small forwards to ever play the sport of basketball, as LeBron James and Kevin Durant set out to do battle once more. In the end, James took home his 20th regular season victory over Durant after the Los Angeles Lakers shut down the latter en route to a 100-92 victory. Durant faced an aggressive defensive scheme from the Lakers that was geared towards getting the ball out of his hands, and he was held to two points in the second half as a result. This fueled a late-game surge from LA, which allowed them to build a more comfortable cushion for the third-seed in the Western Conference. After the game, James gave Durant the biggest form of respect by saying that every version of the Rockets star is difficult to guard and every single game, he commands as much respect as the Lakers gave him on Monday. "S**t, every version. He continues to get better and better," James said, via @ohnohedidnt...

LeBron James put his body on the line in Saturday's win over the Denver Nuggets, and he paid the consequences. The Los Angeles Lakers star posted a photo on Instagram of a floor burn from when he dove for the ball in the overtime victory. James' diving recovery of the loose ball came at a crucial moment. The Lakers trailed by one point with just under a minute to go, and had Denver come up with the ball, it could've started to put the game away. Instead, Los Angeles' ended up sending the game into overtime, where it won on a Luka Dončić game-winner. Physical sacrifices aren't the only ones James is making these days. He said last week that he's willing to give up posting big numbers if it leads to wins. "I mean, if it benefits others, it benefits the team. The team is most important," James told reporters . "Everybody's successful when we win. So yeah, it is a sacrifice. I know what I'm capable of still doing as an individual, bu...

Recently, the Los Angeles Lakers picked up their fifth straight win with an overtime home victory over the Denver Nuggets. This was an epic contest that featured a game-tying shot from Austin Reaves in regulation, and a game-winning jumper from Luka Doncic in the final seconds of the extra period. The Lakers had Doncic, Reaves, and LeBron James all on the floor on Saturday, which has been somewhat of a rarity this season. Recently, The Ringer's Bill Simmons broke down why he believes that James' m ulti-game absence of a couple weeks ago was actually a positive thing for Los Angeles. "They had a timely LeBron injury, as weird as that sounds. He only left for a couple of games. It reset the calibration, and he came back, and it's been interesting to watch him reinvent himself as this basically third option. Can I rebound? Make some hustle plays?" said Simmons, per The Ringer on X, formerly Twitter. Indeed, many have noticed that James has appeared more wil...

The Los Angeles Lakers have been rolling. They've won five straight games, and they'll look to push that number to six when they travel to Houston to take on the Rockets on Monday night. When it comes to LeBron James' status for the game in Houston, we can expect the star forward to be out on the floor. James isn't listed on the official injury report , indicating that he'll be available to play.  In fact, the only player listed on the injury report for the game for L.A. is Maxi Kleber, who has been ruled out with a back strain.  James played in L.A.'s last two games, but he missed the three before that due to a combination of left foot arthritis and a right hip contusion.  On the season, James has played in 46 games for L.A. and posted averages of 21.3 points, 7.0 assists 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per performance.  The matchup between L.A. and Houston will be important when it comes to playoff positioning in the Western ...

On Saturday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers kept their winning ways going with an impressive overtime home win over the Denver Nuggets. It wasn't always pretty for the Lakers, but ultimately, they got the game into the extra frame thanks to a perfectly executed play from Austin Reaves, and then won it on a late Luka Doncic jumper. At one point in the game, a heartwarming moment occurred when a young fan was captured on the Crypto.com Arena jumbotron showing his enthusiasm for the game. After the game, the kid was given a shoutout by none other than LeBron James himself. "It was a great atmosphere. … That little kid on the jumbotron was definitely – I looked up there – I think he's the reason why we won tonight," said James, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN on X, formerly Twitter.

LeBron James walked onto the Crypto.com Arena, sporting another shiny patch on his jersey for breaking the all-time field goals record. However, the timing added a little extra irony and raised a lot more eyebrows. After all, the Lakers were going against the Chicago Bulls, a team forever tied to 'The'Michael Jordan. So, while James, at 41, is still stacking records, many couldn't help but look at other stats and ask: Does LeBron deserve such recognition that no other legend, not even Jordan, ever received? In the latest episode of the WFAN Sports Radio program, Craig Carton joined the team of doubters and shared his displeasure about LeBron James getting honored by the NBA with another jersey patch. Advertisement "The most narcissistic athlete in the history of all sports," Carton began. "I decided to call up the NBA again and tell them now that he has, I think, made the most field goals in the history of the NBA, which is clearly a, you know, a compilin...
