LeBron James

LeBron James made a bold statement about the Los Angeles Lakers before the season and in hindsight, that tweet is now painfully hilarious.

The one correct thing about this LeBron James tweet is him asking everyone to keep the same energy and narrative. This is likely about the Russell Westbrook criticism from before the season and guess what, the criticism was right!

Despite getting jokes about being too old, the Los Angeles Lakers were still the favorites to win the NBA Championship out of the Western Conference before the year.

Cleveland casting director Angela Boehm is looking for experienced high school cheerleaders, tumblers and band members, plus extras to appear in a stadium ...

Extras are being cast for crowd scenes to be filmed at a stadium, too.Cheerleaders and tumblers must be females between the ages of 14-22. Roadell Hickman, The Plain DealerCLEVELAND, Ohio -- Hollywood is coming to Northeast Ohio to shoot a movie about LeBron James and you can be in it.According to casting calls posted by Angela Boehm Casting on the Greater Cleveland Film Commission’s website, the film is looking for experienced high school cheerleaders, tumblers and band members. However, cleveland.com has learned the project is a Universal release with the working title “Shooting Stars.” Based on the 2009 autobiography of the same name by James and Buzz Bissinger, the film tells the story of five boys from Akron, including one future NBA superstar, who overcome tough challenges in their lives to develop a strong bond on the basketball court en route to a high school national championship.Originally announced in late 2018 with James and Maverick Carter on board as producers and Chris Robinson (Fox TV’s “Star”) attached as director, the film turned up last summer on the Ohio Film Office’s website as having applied for a $7.6 million tax credit. Stadium crowd extras can be between 10-85 in age, though minors must apply through a parent or guardian. More information on how to apply can be found at clevelandfilm.com or facebook.com/angelaboehmcasting.The casting calls on the film commission’s website do not identify the movie. Because the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit provides a 30 percent tax credit on what a film or television project spends in the state, that would put the Ohio portion of the production budget at about $25.5 million.It isn’t known when the film will be released.• Related: ‘King James’ is an entertaining new play that speaks to the experience of being a Cleveland sports fan Musicians must also be between 14-22 and will be required to bring their own instruments. The casting director’s Facebook page has calls out for more roles, including people to play high school coaches, referees, neighbors, a team mascot and more.Filming will take place in Cleveland and Akron between April 18-June 2, the posts say.

“I'm out for the season officially,” LeBron wrote, adding a facepalm emoji. “See y'all in the fall.” As with most things LeBron says, there's been a ...

LeBron can joke about the situation all he wants, but for some people this is no laughing matter. Fans immediately knew that this was an April Fool’s joke from the Lakers leader. Los Angeles Lakers fans have good reason to be so annoyed at LeBron James right now.

The Lakers forward said he is out for the remainder of the season.

James was clever with his tweet, since he has been out the last two games and missed a third game last week. However, there has been no other confirmation about James’s “season ending injury,” so fans automatically suspected this was a prank. But, he didn’t fool fans with his message.

LeBron James has missed the Lakers' last two games with an ankle injury. He intended to return against the Pelicans tonight.

🤦🏾‍♂️. See y’all in the fall. I’m out for the season officially. LeBron James has missed the Lakers’ last two games with an ankle injury.

James has missed two straight games with an ankle sprain he suffered in the team's loss to the Pelicans on March 27. The Lakers have only six games remaining on ...

The tweet, as James is probably cackling at if it is indeed a joke, almost killed multiple beat writers covering the team. Dammit. — Bill Oram (@billoram) ...

Still, stay tuned for updates as the Lakers and Pelicans get closer to tipping off at 7:30 p.m. PT tonight. However, given the timing, it is hard to believe this one without the team also confirming it with some sort of press release or announcement. James will reportedly be a gametime decision as he tests out his sore ankle before that one, and we’ll see at that point if his tweet was a joke, or actually closer to being very, depressingly, hilariously real.

LeBron James tried to trick the NBA world with his latest tweet, but fans quickly caught on to what he was trying to do.

🤦🏾‍♂️. See y’all in the fall. New Orleans on Friday, LeBron James is hopeful to test out his ankle sprain and try to make a return to the lineup too, sources tell ESPN,” Wojnarowski tweeted. I’m out for the season officially.

Skip Bayless is more confident in building a championship team around one professional sports icon than he is the other.

I don't trust him, … but I gotta take my chances with Aaron because at least he's gonna get me there, and he's probably gonna get me the No. 1 seed. Rodgers has led Green Bay to the postseason in 12 of his 17 seasons under center. The Lakers (31-44) are currently threatening to miss the postseason for the second time in James' four years with the franchise. I think he's been pretty much a disaster in the playoffs ever since he won that long-ago, far-away Super Bowl … 11 years ago. Both Rodgers and James have earned their fair share of accolades over the years. No [Michael] Jordan. I would much rather spend time with and around LeBron, but if I'm starting a team right here, right now, give me Aaron bleepin' Rodgers.

The Los Angeles Lakers upgraded LeBron James and Anthony Davis to questionable for Friday's must-win game vs. the New Orleans Pelicans.

Los Angeles is 2.5 games back of the Pelicans for the No. 9 seed, and 0.5 games back of the San Antonio Spurs for the final Play-In spot. The Lakers have lost four in a row, and 14 of 18 games without Davis since the All-Star break. Of the Lakers seven remaining games, six are against playoff teams — including the Pelicans, who have beaten the Lakers twice in the past month. However, the Lakers don’t own the tiebreaker against either team, and the schedule is not on their side. He’s missed 37 games this season — one more than he missed in 2020-21. He flew home from the team’s road trip early to undergo extra treatment in Los Angeles.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis are expected to be in uniform for tonight's matchup between the Pelicans and Lakers. But don't overlook this New Orleans team ...

Marc Stein points out that LeBron James has to play three more games in order to qualify for scoring title.

LeBron has missed three of the Lakers last four games. The 18-time All-Star has played in 55 of LA's 76 games this season. LeBron has done many noteworthy in his career.

Anthony Davis (foot) is also questionable, so fantasy managers will want to monitor Los Angeles' injury report closely ahead of the 10:30 PM ET tip. More News ...

The Los Angeles Lakers players LeBron James (left ankle sprain) and Anthony Davis (right mid-foot sprain) are both listed as questionable to play tonight ...

Anthony Davis is back from an 18-game absence, while LeBron is seeking to return from a sprained ankle that has cost him two straight games.

”It’s going to be tough to catch (New Orleans) now, with the lead they have and the tiebreaker,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. Davis had 23 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in his return from a six-week injury absence since Feb. 16, but the eight-time All-Star’s presence wasn’t enough to beat his former team. We just hung in there, and the game was back and forth.

LeBron James is back in the lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers after after testing his sprained left ankle before their game against the New Orleans Pelicans ...

"We talked to our guys about and we were like, 'Look, we've all played with the street lights out before. "Our mindset is to go 5-0 in these games, and let the chips fall where they may," Davis said. We have to win these games and we have to have that approach." Ingram said that energy was felt before the game and after as well. "I don't look at San Antonio at all," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said of the final stretch. We don't play off hope and 'let's hope we win this game.' We have belief and I believe. "Until that moment, we'll know what our destiny is, but right now, we don't. So keep pushing forward." But by virtue of the Spurs holding the tiebreaker, the Lakers have to pick-up two games on San Antonio before the season's end to steal the final play-in spot. "No matter what's going on on the floor, it just feels like the ball bounces the other way. It's just the way it's been going." So that's the big picture." L. A. faced a crucial matchup against the Western Conference's No. 9 team in New Orleans, two games up on the No. 11 Lakers coming into the night.

Anthony Davis will play in a Lakers game for first time since Feb. 16 on Friday night vs. the New Orleans Pelicans. LeBron James is also ready to play.

Possession after possession in winning time, the Pelicans looked poised. The Lakers missed half of their eight tries. While James caught fire in the third and scored 21 points, New Orleans always responded. But he missed all but one of his five shots in the fourth. And for the second time in a week, this season looks off the rails. The Lakers lost to the Pelicans 114-111 Friday night at home, the same night where Anthony Davis and James rejoined their lineup.

Despite some impressive statistical averages for LeBron James, this season has been one of the worst of the King's legendary career. For FOX Sports analyst.

LeBron James is disqualified from the second spot on this list.” Last year, Skip shocked the world when he announced LeBron James was just 9th on his All-Time list. “That USA TODAY actually put LeBron James No. 2 on the all-time list?

Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis are returning to the lineup Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Jaxson Hayes had a flagrant foul on LeBron James during Friday's game between the New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers.

Porzingis was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Washington Wizards at the NBA Trading Deadline. He has not been an All-Star since 2018, when he was on the New York Knicks. CLICK HERE. Especially on a team that is contending for an NBA Championship. He has played for the Charlotte Hornets, Boston Celtics and Knicks over his 11-year NBA career. However, I still believe that the four-time NBA All-Star can be a productive player.
