Ric Tapia/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images After USC's 2023-24 season came to an end on Thursday with a loss to Arizona in the Pac-12 tournament, many are wondering about the future of Bronny James. While it's not yet clear if James will enter the 2024 NBA draft, an Eastern Conference executive told ESPN's Jeremy Woo that teams will undoubtedly be interested in selecting him for the prospect of pairing him with his legendary father, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, no matter how slim the chances of adding him to their roster. "I think everyone is preparing for him to go in the draft, and I'm dead serious -- I think a lot of teams will take the stance that they'll draft him if there's a 1% chance LeBron will join them," the exec said. "So, I'll be surprised if he doesn't enter. Will he stay in, I don't know." The elder James has a $51.4 million player option on his contract for the 2024-25 sea...

Prior to teaming with star forward LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell sought out his advice. While speaking to ESPN's Dave McMenamin , Russell revealed the suggestions he received from James prior to his lone All-Star season in 2018-19. "I was like, 'Bro, how do you become more consistent of a player?'" Russell said. "He said, 'I read. I sleep. I eat. My routine is on point.' I still got the text. And honestly, he was the reason I developed a routine." It's no surprise that Russell took James' guidance to heart, as McMenamin noted that the 28-year-old "grew up idolizing" him. He even admitted earlier this month that he cried when seeing James play in person for the first time as a child. "When I was a kid and I'd shoot those jump shots, I'd say, 'Jordan! Kobe!'" Russell's father, Antonio, told McMenamin. "He was coming through du...

On Oscar night, details matter. Who are you wearing? What are you nominated for? Who won? Just don't expect everyone to know the answers. "What movie won?" Rick Hilton asked as he and wife Kathy Hilton assumed position at the end of a glamorous queue to get into Vanity Fair's 30th anniversary Oscar party in Beverly Hills on Sunday after 10 p.m. They asked their son, Kathy says, but no clue. Fortunately, a gentleman standing directly in front of the couple had the answer. "It was Oppenheimer," he said, not mentioning the awkwardness of Al Pacino's best picture reveal. Some details can be saved for Monday morning. Plus, there are more rapid-fire questions to field. What movie is that? Is it based on a true story? Who was the emcee? "Oh, Jimmy Kimmel. I like him," Rick said, smiling, in a totally relatable moment because who doesn't love Jimmy Kimmel? And who doesn't love Vanity Fair's annual Academy Awards party? It ...

There are dozens of ways an NBA team can honor a former player. Nowadays it seems as if anyone who wore a jersey for more than a year or two gets a tribute video when they return to their old stomping grounds. Retired jerseys are the standard for team legends, and they come with a permanence that needs to be reserved a select few. After all, you can only theoretically retire so many numbers before running out of available ones.  But there's a level beyond even jersey retirements, and it's a rarity: the statue outside of the arena. At present, only 13 of them exist. These monuments are meant for something greater than a team legend. They belong to local icons, players whose relationships with a city transcend the sport and even the bounds of time. The Chicago Bulls will never not be Michael Jordan's team. It's fitting that Bulls fans get to see his likeness before every home game. On Monday, former NBA player Gilbert Arenas made waves when he said that LeBr...

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward LeBron James will not play Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks because of a sore left ankle, per ESPN's Dave McMenamin . The 39-year-old James appeared in fewer than 60 games in each of the past few seasons, but he has largely remained healthy this season, missing time primarily due to rest or maintenance. LeBron's ankle has been a bit of an issue in recent weeks, as he exited the Lakers' 130-120 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday in the fourth quarter because of it. Per McMenamin , James said he had been dealing with the ankle ailment since before the All-Star break before adding that he would be "all right." Despite being the oldest player in the NBA, James continues to put up elite numbers that border on being MVP-caliber. So far this season, the future Hall of Famer is averaging 25.3 points, 8.0 assists and 7.1 rebounds per game. ...
