At this point, there is no question that LeBron James is one of the greatest NBA players of all time, especially when considering the countless achievements throughout his 16-year NBA career. One of his most impressive achievements is passing Wilt Chamberlain on the NBA all-time scoring list.
ESPN’s Stephen A Smith says the Los Angeles Lakers are the front-runners to sign Warriors superstar forward Kevin Durant in free agency next summer. The two-time finals MVP is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent after the season, once he declines his player option, as many expect him to do.
Every year since 2011, just before the NBA season gets underway, ESPN ranks the top 100 basketball players in the league. Simply Making this exclusive list is a major achievement, cracking the top 50 is an indicator of exceptional talent, and making the top 10 is an honor most can only dream of.
The Cleveland Cavaliers like to play the blame game and the latest scapegoat is Tyronn Lue. The now former head coach of the Cavs has done a lot for this organization and it really is not fair to point the finger at him for this bad start, since there is not much anybody could do with this roster and situation.
The Denver Nuggets, riding the momentum of a 4-0 start, were looking to continue their strong early-season form. Meanwhile, the Lakers had just picked up win No.1 the previous before. The effects of the big fight in the Rockets game were still being felt by the Lakers as significant players remained suspended. This encounter provided some great entertainment and fun, with the 72 million people who tuned in to watch being treated with a close finish.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets both suffered losses in their first games and were both looking for their first win. This was the first home game for LeBron James’ Lakers, and the buzz was high in media across the NBA. The visiting Rockets are the top-tier of the West, while their hosts last night are stuck in the middle of the pack. However, judging by the way the game was played, it looked as if the pair were equal.
The Los Angeles Lakers were ready to start the regular season, while the Portland Trail Blazers were ready to let last year’s playoff failures go and start fresh. It was the season opener for both teams with high ambitions. The way this game was played out was very entertaining and high octane.
Relevancy has really been an issue for one of the most storied franchises ever in sports because the Los Angeles Lakers have failed to make the playoffs for the last five years and last season was no different. The organizational turmoil was finally over as Jeanie Buss took over and hired Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka. Now they have LeBron. Will it be enough to get the Lakers back to being the standard?
The Minnesota Timberwolves were a mess organizationally especially with team chemistry last year and it has caused Jimmy Butler to officially declare he wants out of Minnesota. The Timberwolves only have money left for one big payday, which was being debated on being given to Butler or Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Lonzo Ball story is already unlike any other in NBA history. From the moment he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers a little over a year ago, the point guard was destined to endure the most scrutinized rookie season in recent memory. The pressure he was under is typically reserved for the league’s superstars, not teenagers who have yet to play a single professional game.
he NBA has turned into a circus lately with all the crazy mobility among players moving to different cities and off the court things that have impacted the league big-time. Draymond Green vs Tristan Thompson is one of the most laughable narratives of the year. Especially with the Golden State Warriors clean sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers and completely dominating the series the way that they did, you would’ve thought that it would’ve put an end to the beef.
Basketball is so much more than just entertainment, there’s a massive business behind the scenes. For most spectators going to a game, they think they’re going to marvel over a player’s athleticism, they don’t realize that in reality, they’re watching a live commercial. For shoe companies, these athletes are a prime spotlight for their product. The NBA is a direct marketing opportunity for shoe companies that generate billions of dollars annually and fight tooth and nail for the NBA’s big-time player endorsements. So, how big is the sneaker industry in the NBA, and how has it changed throughout time?
