LeBron James

Chris Broussard and Rob Parker discuss Draymond Green's recent remarks that proclaimed LeBron James as 'arguably the smartest guy to set foot on a ...

I get it, Draymond is friends with LeBron and he admires him but it’s always over the top. The ‘Showtime’ Lakers were so great because Kareem could be at the highest level Kareem could play at, Magic could play at the highest level he could play at, and James Worthy could be at the highest level they could play at. Draymond has an affinity for LeBron and no matter what he says whenever LeBron comes up it’s the greatest compliment you could ever give somebody... It always seems to be over the top when it comes to LeBron as if he doesn’t do anything wrong and he’s won everything...like I don’t think he has had that career. Draymond Green after being asked if the mental challenge of facing the Celtics compares to facing LeBron James in the NBA Finals: “It doesn’t compare. In Miami LeBron played at the highest level he could play at but Dwyane Wade had to step back and be about 80% of the player he could be.

Once again on the precipice of greatness, the Golden State Warriors look to close out the NBA Finals with a Game Six win over Boston. But Draymond Green ap.

I think every team you kind of have that guy,” That’s the brain of that team, and they have that in Marcus Smart, a guy who I have a tremendous amount of respect for and his basketball IQ. So it’s a challenge for sure. James ultimately led the Lakers to a win after hitting a clutch fadeaway three to secure the Lakers’ date with the Suns in the first-round of the playoffs. Green, a three-time champion with the Warriors, had to defeat the four-time Finals MVP in three of his five NBA Finals appearances to secure his rings.

After criticism was leveled at Anthony Davis for his offseason plans, LeBron James stepped up to defend his teammate via social media on Wednesday.

So stop citing Mamba Mentality and let the man live so that this very dumb talking point ceases to exist. Equally as insane is that LeBron felt the need to defend his big man on I simply trusted that a man who is in the 1% of the 1% when it comes to his craft probably knows better than I.

The Los Angeles Lakers had a season to forget. Despite boasting a roster stacked with multiple former All-Stars and superstars like LeBron James, Anthony.

The Lakers have two of the biggest superstars of the league on their team whom they can either contend for a championship or trade for promising future assets. The Los Angeles Lakers had a season to forget. 'The Brow' clearly had a season to forget.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James said he can't wait for Anthony Davis to return to his dominant self.

But a few days later, the forward appeared to be back in between the hoops, working out with shooting coach Chris Matthews — known as Lethal Shooter. The Lakers seem determined to make Davis the focal point of their play on both ends of the floor — just as he was during the 2019-20 championship season. On Wednesday, James posted a video of Davis’ highlight plays to remind fans about the 28-year-old’s skills.

Draymond Green Says Difficulty Facing the Boston Celtics "Does Not Compare" To Playing Against LeBron James: Game 6 carries on in Boston on June 17.

To say that it compares to that, it's disrespectful to LeBron & it's a lie to you." I think every team you kind of have that guy, that’s the brain of that team, and they have that in Marcus Smart, a guy who I have a tremendous amount of respect for and his basketball IQ. So it’s a challenge for sure.” “It doesn’t compare to mentally playing against LeBron James, who I think is arguably the smartest guy to ever play this game.Not one of, he is arguably the smartest guy to set foot on a basketball court. He is kind of the brain of that team. The Celtics have one more chance to force a Game 7, should they come out winning Game 6 on Thursday. There are not many people that can do that.”

Q: LeBron James just stated that he could have an immediate impact on the Heat or the Warriors. Do you think there is any way Pat Riley would consider ...

What this season has shown is that there is no super team in the NBA at the moment, and that the Heat are as close to contending as any team. In the past that got players a ticket out of Miami, such as Hassan Whiteside and Justise Winslow. – Rodney. While LeBron did circle back to the Cavaliers, that was with the goal of delivering a title to his home region. A: Yet I’m not sure that necessarily reduces the sting of two weeks ago. LeBron, in fact, tried to initially duck the question, before saying his preference remains the Lakers. Then, after saying if there was “one” team he thought he could make a difference on, of the four that remained in the playoffs at the time of the taping, he listed the Heat and the Warriors. Of course, when a shortened version of the clip surfaced, it surfaced with a different context. So, if anything, the next step either would be the proposed ownership stake in a potential Las Vegas expansion team or playing with his son, if that is possible.

LeBron James: I just saw the Tom Hanks clip of his wife almost being trampled over by the paparazzi. What the f--- ever happened to personal space?

Continuing to find different ways to lead. then when it comes time to taking advantage of an opportunity, things click.” StatMuse: Fun fact: StephCurry won 3 MVP awards this season.

Anthony Davis has rarely been healthy the last two years for the Lakers. However, here's what LeBron James recently had to say to his haters.

To summarize all of this: Davis is rarely as healthy as he was in 2019-20. He has never played 82 games in his career and has only appeared in 70-plus twice. Those numbers dropped to 17.4 points and 6.6 rebounds in the postseason. He also made an efficient 57.1% of his field-goal attempts and 38.3% of his three-pointers. Davis averaged just 21.8 points and 7.9 rebounds in 2020-21. He averaged 26.1 points and 9.3 rebounds during the regular season and shot 50.3% from the field and 33.0% from long range. This past year, The Brow recorded 23.2 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, and he made 53.2% of his shots. Davis helped James win his fourth championship, but he hasn’t been healthy longer than three minutes each of the last two seasons. Davis has become one of the worst outside shooters in the league, making only 18.6% of his three-point attempts this season. Since that 2019-20 season, the 29-year-old has competed in a combined 76 regular-season games, and his stats haven’t been nearly as impressive. Many critics have doubted Anthony Davis throughout the past several months. Like that tweet, his recent comment might just be wishful thinking.

The Lebron James Foundation has publicized propositions for a multimillion-dollar I Promise HealthQuarters, a community-based health center.

After his basketball career took off, James entered the NBA in 2003, being the #1 overall draft pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers. James never let his rise to fame disconnect him from his roots, as he always gave back to the community that made him the basketball legend he is today. The fuel from his absent father motivated James to make a difference in his community. James viewed basketball as a way to provide for his mother and get them out of poverty. James experienced violence, poverty, and the hardships of growing up with a single mother. Lebron James continues to make a difference in the community, being a role model many athletes aspire to emulate. The Lebron James Foundation has publicized propositions for a multimillion-dollar I Promise HealthQuarters, a community-based main health-care facility.

LeBron James has been busy lately. The basketball-fueled movie “Hustle,” which he produced, just debuted on Netflix. Forbes announced that he had reac.

In his column, Whitlock suggested that James would have had more to say about the killing of Ohio teen Ethan Liming had he been Black instead of white.

"The imaging is off putting," commented another. We got a long way to go for us as a society, and for us as African Americans, until we feel equal in America." "I'm sure the article has some merit, but this gives pause. "Even for you lately this is some amazing clickbait," another tweeted. Emmett Till was 14 years old when he was brutally murdered by two white men in 1955 after allegedly whistling at a white woman. It's kind of one of the first things I thought of.

LeBron James had a stern message in one of his recent social media posts. Here's why ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith didn't like it.

Anthony Davis showed how dangerous he and LeBron James can be in 2020. But he hasn’t been fully healthy since then, and perhaps he is already past his best years. So, James recently defended AD to all his doubters by writing a passionate Instagram post in which he essentially said Davis will remind everyone why he’s one of the top players in the league next season. He continued: “He sat up there with all the critics, ‘Keep the same energy. He, however, deleted the tweet, which was probably for the best considering it aged like milk in a hot car. ‘Keep the same energy.’ … His tweets don’t work.

Golden State Warriors player Steph Curry, though, takes the No. 2 spot for talent demand, according to Parrot Analytics.

Curry has 31.79 times the average demand of all talent in the United States over the last 30 days, putting him just on the edge of exceptional, which only 0.04% of all talent ever reach. Curry is a more a consistent bet, but the peaks for Tatum allow for more strategic, regional marketing. Kerr has 27.15 times the average demand of all talent, putting him in the outstanding category, which only 0.5% of all talent reach. It should come as no surprise that James is the most in-demand NBA star over the last 30 days, even though the Lakers aren’t in the championship finals. He’s one of the few NBA coaches who has mainstream appeal and recognition beyond fans who closely follow the sport. The Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics are locked in a tense NBA Finals series, and longtime fans (and even those with passive interest in the championship) may wonder how it’s affecting certain players’ popularity.

Prior to Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was asked if the mental challenge of facing the Boston Celtics is anything ...

"I was basically saying what I said. "No Draymond was not basically saying that," he replied. "He is arguably the smartest guy to set foot on a basketball court.

Amid constant roster turnover and organizational flubs, the Lakers need their two cornerstones to be productive, and most importantly, on the floor this ...

James has missed 61 combined games across the past two seasons, while Davis has missed a whopping 88. That’s a far cry from the 1455 mark they accrued in 2019. It’s been over two months since that moment, which marked the last time James assisted on a Davis bucket — an occurrence that happened only 31 times this past season. The action that helped win the Lakers their most recent championship still worked. And in the instant a second deterrent obscured his path to the rim, James seamlessly fired a behind-the-back pass towards his big-man. What was once a microcosm of basketball nirvana had since been soured by compounding injuries and underperformance.
