Lebron James

Following the annual tradition of holiday-themed sneakers for premiere Nike Basketball players, take a look at the ‘Christmas’ colorways for Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. On the Nike LeBron XI (11) ‘Christmas’ edition,a minty theme is used with standard Christmas-red highlights seen on the laces, Swoosh branding, and inner lining. A snowflake pattern [...]

Paul George has enough friends. He doesn’t need to invite LeBron James to his next birthday party. People tend to fuss over these two. LeBron being who he is, and all—face of the two-time reigning NBA champions. And George being who he is and all—face of the Miami Heat’s greatest Eastern Conference challenger. George’s rise [...]

NBA players don’t tend to doubt themselves, and for good reasons. Imagine watching Kobe Bryant, standing at the podium after signing his extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, talking about how he will probably never return to form. Picture LeBron James, sitting by his locker after a Miami Heat loss, promising the world that he’ll [...]

Good news New York Knicks fans—Carmelo Anthony knows that Kobe Bryant is old. The Black Mamba has signed a fresh new two-year, $48.5 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, ensuring that he won’t join the NBA’s free-agent ranks this summer. What it’s also done is allow the Lakers to start thinking big picture. Before, [...]

While it might seem like a no-brainer that LeBron James wore Nike LeBron sneakers, this is actually the first time that James wore the new LeBron model, the Nike LeBron 11, for a whole game this NBA season. The anticipation behind the latest LeBron signature sneaker with Nike was huge leading up to this season [...]

Hopes shouldn’t skyrocket. Not when they stand to be dashed. Turns out that Kobe really is back, though. Draining shots, dropping dimes, making a fool out of [...]

The San Antonio Spurs are still good, but they’re also hurting. Excuse me if I’m telling you something you already know; I just felt compelled to remind everyone. Because they’re good. Really good. Second-best-record-in-the-NBA good. A few jokesters (idiots?) probably predicted their demise. And by “probably,” I mean definitely. It happens every year. People mistake [...]

LeBron James isn’t superhuman, he just plays like he is. The Chosen One has demolished opposing defenses on a nightly basis for over a decade. We’ve grown accustomed to it. Expect it. Assume it’s going to happen every second of every game. Understandably, all of us who don’t hate the greatest NBA player alive—sorry, MJ—were [...]

Step aside, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant is smitten by Dirk Nowitzki. Speaking with reporters before the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Dallas Mavericks, Durant admitted to having a healthy admiration (infatuation?) for the 35-year-old Dirk, according to ESPN Dallas’ Tim MacMahon (h/t Beyond The Buzzer): Asked after Oklahoma City’s morning shootaround when he identified the [...]

Can’t blame a guy for trying. Strike, that we can. This early into the season and with already so much speculation being flung around like poo in a monkey exhibit, we can blame everyone who forces us to endure another LeBron James free-agency question. Before the Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors, LeBron was, once [...]
