Lakers News: NBA World Reacts to LeBron James News (Sports Illustrated)

The best player on your Los Angeles Lakers, 37-year-old future Hall of Famer LeBron James, debuted a new haircut on his Instagram today ahead of the ...

Welcome to the bald side, King James. For my money, the 6'9" 18-time All-Star forward looks a lot like former Warriors/Bulls/Cavaliers center Nate Thurmond. A seven-time All-Star and five-time All-Defensive Team honoree, the 6'11" big man out of James's hometown of Akron, Ohio, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985 and the "NBA 75" anniversary team last season.

LeBron James embracing inner Michael Jordan by finally going bald (ClutchPoints)

As the old adage goes, it's better late than never, and LeBron James is finally embracing something that has been long overdue.

With the Miami Heat, fans could tell that LeBron was pushing his headband way over his forehead to mask his thinning crown. He’s appeared to be in denial over his receding hairline, which has dated back to as early as his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the mid to late 2000s, where noticeable “devil horns” have popped along his hairline, a telltale sign of hair recession. In the process, he might even be channeling his rival for the title of greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan.

I imagine that won’t change much going forward if he sticks with the bald head, and the only time that it will be seen is when he’s on the court. James has been clinging to his receding hairline like a rim after catching a lob on a fast break for many years now. In June of that year, he posted a video of him bopping his clean dome to Tee Grizzley’s James posted on his Instagram story a picture of him in a barber chair with no hair.

What if LeBron James joined the Chicago Bulls in 2010? (Pippen Ain't Easy)

The Bulls had a pretty formidable team heading into the 2010-2011 season, with players such as Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, and more.

I’m sure Bulls fans would have enjoyed celebrating several championships in the 2010s but they have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming season. Bulls fans were blessed enough to witness peak Derrick Rose and a Bulls team that showed a lot of fight throughout the season. The amount of talent already on the roster and the addition of several superstar players would have brought the Bulls over the edge. It is thrilling to think of the endless possibilities of what could have been. Considering that the Bulls have not made a finals appearance since the Jordan era. Looking back at what almost could have been, it is mindboggling to think about what the Chicago Bulls would have accomplished in the past couple of years.

It is still unclear if he'll leave it like that for the entire season but he can finally rest easy that no more jokes about his hairline will happen. He was determined to make it remain despite all the bullying he was getting for keeping it, the obvious choice was to go completely bald.

The Mariners and Rays, who lost 5-0 to the Houston Astros, both lost a game to the Toronto Blue Jays (84-64), who moved two games up on the Rays and 2 1/2 ahead of the Mariners with an 18-11 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies. The very fact that he was in the game at all was the huge story for both Green Bay and the third-year offensive lineman. The loss cost the Mariners (81-66) a chance to move ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays (82-66) in the three-team duel for wild-card position in the AL. Garbrandt was originally expected to face Rani Yahya at the event, but Yahya pulled out of the fight as a result of a neck injury. The Twins jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second, but the Royals scored a pair of runs in the third and fifth innings. Pena and Jose Altuve each had two hits and a walk as the Astros won for the ninth time in 10 games. Realmuto added five hits and two RBIs for the reeling Phillies, who have dropped five in a row. AJ Pollock had three hits, including a two-run homer in the 11th, and three RBIs for the White Sox. He pitched well in his last outing, limiting the Houston Astros to two runs and five hits over six innings in a 5-2 road defeat. The Royals had scored a total of seven runs in the last six games against the Twins. He hasn't seen the sixth inning in either of his past two starts, roughed up for a total of nine runs and 16 hits in 10 innings by the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Angels. Obviously, there is still a lack of 3PT shooting on the roster, and that may be a problem for the Los Angeles Lakers offense.

Lakers Milestones: Tracking LeBron James' pursuit of the NBA all ... (Silver Screen and Roll)

As LeBron James enters his 20th season in the NBA, his sights will be firmly set on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as he chases the all-time scoring record.

You can follow Jacob on Twitter at [@JacobRude](https://twitter.com/JacobRude). Ultimately, trying to predict the game LeBron may break the record is a moot point given all the factors. Looming right around the corner from that stretch is a trip to New York and Madison Square Garden in the 52nd game. [Lakers](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com) where 12 of 15 games will be at Crypto.com Arena. There’s also the hilarious scenario where he does it against the Jan. If he were to average that figure, he’d pass Kareem in the 44th game of the season. Because of that, we’ll keep an updated tracker of LeBron’s point total after each game this season and how many points away from Kareem’s record he stands as well. For reference, to break that record, LeBron would have to average just 16.2 points per game over an 82-game season. It’s a point total LeBron has reached in every season but one, that being the COVID- and injury-shortened 2020-21 campaign. If LeBron were to match his career average of 27.1 points per game and played every game, he would pass Kareem in the 49th game of the season against the Spurs at home. There is also a stretch of games from Feb.

LeBron James reacts to Robert Sarver selling Suns, Mercury (ClutchPoints)

Many across the basketball world, including LeBron James, are thrilled that Robert Sarver will no longer be a part of the NBA.

LeBron James can still celebrate the Suns and Mercury getting rid of Sarver. Commissioner Adam Silver put the kibosh on Sterling’s ownership immediately but did not do so with Sarver, causing an uproar that ultimately led to Sarver having to sell the Suns and Mercury. The owner of the Phoenix Suns and WNBA’s Pheonix Mercury is putting the franchises up for sale.

[found](https://www.wlrk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Phoenix-Suns-Report.pdf) that Sarver used "the N-word at least five times in repeating or purporting to repeat what a Black person said—four of those after being told by both Black and white subordinates that he should not use the word, even in repetition of another." The move comes a little more than a week after he was [ suspended for one year](https://pr.nba.com/nba-statement-about-independent-investigation-regarding-robert-sarver-and-the-phoenix-suns-organization/) and fined $10 million following an investigation into his behavior and the Suns' and Mercury's workplace culture.
