Lebron James Network

It sparked speculation as to where he stands on the scandal surrounding Diddy The clip corroborates parts of a civil suit Cassie filed against the mogul last year By Alex Hammer For Dailymail.Com Published: 11:57 EDT, 19 May 2024 | Updated: 12:57 EDT, 19 May 2024 LeBron James has unfollowed Sean 'Diddy' Combs on Instagram . The unfollowing was noted by a Lakers fanpage Saturday, and sparked a storm of speculation as to where he stands on the scandal surrounding his old friend.  James ' son, 16-year-old high school standout Bryce, was seen vacationing with Diddy 's daughters just last month, as a sex trafficking probe into the mogul persists. Launched the month before with a raid at his estates in LA and Miami, the investigation stems from accusations of sexual abuse dating back decades.  One of the allegations involved a minor, and new footage unveiled Friday showed Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura in ...

Bronny James and LeBron James (Photo by Alex Bierens de Haan/Getty Images) The rumor mills are spinning at the wildest rate ever due to the sheer presence of the 2024 NBA Draft, coupled with LeBron James ' uncertain future at the Lakers. The two elements have been mixed to conjure a volatile component of uncertainty around the NBA scene which is hard to digest for many pundits and fans. Amid all the noise, Bronny James participated in the NBA Draft combine and has since raised his stock in the books of scouts and GMs with his impressive showings . His father's name inevitably comes into any conversation he's part of and the same happened in a recently posted video. Bleacher Report asked Bronny if he would name his son LeBron James III, to which James Jr. replied, "Absolutely not" and let out a laugh. LeBron once revealed that he regrets naming his son after him, so it was no surprise that the 19-year-old would want to break that streak. With the impe...

CHICAGO – The 2024 NBA Draft Combine is in the books from the Windy City but the breeze of change is blowing as strong as ever this predraft process with the NBA Draft lingering just over one month away. So on the heels of what was the most impactful event leading up to this year's draft, it's time to break down all the biggest winners and losers from the week that was in Chicago as we put a bow on the combine. Let's dive in. Winner: Hawks have big decision Yes, it's true: the top of the 2024 NBA Draft class is not the strongest .  In fact some in Chicago I've talked with believe this class could be the weakest in more than a decade. But the Atlanta Hawks come away from the combine a winner nonetheless after kicking off the week with a win in the NBA Draft Lottery on Sunday. First dibs in this class isn't the slam dunk it would've been last year with Victor Wembanyama, to state the obvious, but it is still first dibs.  History suggests some s...

The Los Angeles Lakers' search for their next head coach is underway. According to multiple reports, they're looking to examine several candidates, including JJ Redick . Redick was one of the NBA's great 3-point shooters during his 15-year playing career. More recently, he has become a commentator for ESPN's NBA coverage, as well as LeBron James' co-host for the "Mind the Game" podcast. Many believe Redick is a candidate for the Lakers' job only because of his relationship with James. If he were to win the job, it would likely lead to accusations that the organization is completely caving into the superstar's whims. Former Miami Heat big man Udonis Haslem, who was teammates with James for four seasons, says the rest of the Lakers' locker room would have a cynical attitude toward Redick should he get hired. "If it's JJ (Redick), you're going to have a cynical locker room," said Haslem. "You're gonna ...

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum joined LeBron James as the only NBA players since 1973-74 to lead a single playoff series in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. While with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors , James led all other players with 208 points, 79 rebounds, 62 assists, 18 steals, and 16 blocks. In Boston's recent Eastern Conference semifinals series matchup with Cleveland, Tatum led all other players with 134 points, 52 rebounds, 31 assists, eight steals, and five blocks. Image retrieved from ESPN Reddit However, it should be noted that Donovan Mitchell missed Games 4 and 5 due to a calf strain. If not for his injury, the five-time All-Star guard could have potentially joined James for this incredible postseason record. In just three playoff games against the Celtics, Mitchell amassed 95 points, 19 rebounds, 16 assists, three steals, and zero blocks. Tatum still likely would have had him beat in rebou...

The NFL schedule release always breeds creativity in social media departments around the league. As the schedule reveal has evolved from a date on the league's calendar into an event of significant fan and media interest, teams around the league have taken to unveiling their schedules in increasingly creative and entertaining ways. These reveals, when done well, have the potential to go viral—think back to the Los Angeles Chargers' anime-inspired unveil in 2022 , or the Tennessee Titans' 2023 release in which they humorously enlisted the aid of tourists visiting the famous Broadway strip. The Buffalo Bills generally produce amusing, if not esoteric social media content, and the team lived up to this description as it previewed its 2024 schedule Wednesday evening. The team turned its already-determined 2024 opponents into NBA superstar Lebron James in the hours leading up to the full schedule reveal. Most of the images just feature NFL team logos Photoshopped...

Jeff Haynes/NBAE via Getty Images Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was in Chicago Wednesday to watch his oldest son Bronny participate in his second scrimmage at the 2024 NBA Draft Combine, Dan Woike reported for the Los Angeles Times. James was photographed in the stands with Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka. Bronny James was recently medically cleared for the 2024 NBA draft following his cardiac arrest and heart surgery last summer, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski . He averaged 4.8 points and 2.1 assists through 25 games in his freshman season at USC. LeBron James got to see his son set up some plays during the scrimmage: Wednesday was Bronny James' second scrimmage of the combine after he took the court for 19 minutes on Tuesday. James finished that first scrimmage with four points on 2-of-8 shooting while recording four rebounds, two steals and three turnovers. Jonathan Wasserman reported for Bleacher Report ...

Matthew Stockman/Getty Images LeBron James is reportedly viewed as likely to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers, but there are multiple factors weighing on his next contract. On the latest episode of Buha's Block (h/t HoopsHype.com ), Jovan Buha of The Athletic said "all indications" are that James will remain in L.A.: Buha noted that LeBron will likely either opt in for the final year of his contract in 2024-25 and sign an extension, or he will opt out and re-sign with the Lakers on a completely new deal. Which path James takes will depend on what he values most, as Buha reported that if James wants a no-trade clause, he will opt out and then re-sign. However, if he just wants more money, he would opt in and sign an extension in August. Appearing Monday on the Pat McAfee Show (h/t HoopsHype.com ), Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium added that family will also weigh heavily on LeBron with regard to his next move: ...

LeBron James' son Bronny has become somewhat of a polarizing figure this year, as he has made himself eligible for the upcoming NBA draft despite a disappointing freshman year of college at the University of Southern California. He averaged just 4.8 points a game and shot a very low percentage, which has led some to feel that the hype surrounding him is merely a product of nepotism rather than his own ability. But the younger James did have a strong initial showing at the draft combine on Monday, which is certainly an encouraging sign. The elder James has repeatedly said he would love to play alongside his son. However, some have wondered whether that feeling is mutual. On Tuesday, the younger James was asked whether playing with his father has been a dream of his, and he said it hasn't. The elder James, of course, can become a free agent this summer. There has been plenty of speculation that he may ask the Lakers to draft his son in order to do him a favor an...
