Lebron James

LeBron James has been a legitimate MVP candidate and worthy of the award on a yearly basis for the past 10-12 years. He is doing his thing once again in the 2017-18 season, averaging 27.4 points, 9.1 assists and 8.6 rebounds on 55% shooting with a PER of 28.6. Because of his performance and all [...]

Just in case you needed another reminder that the relationship between LeBron James and Dwyane Wade is bigger than basketball, here it comes. Prior to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ loss at the hands of the Miami Heat on Tuesday night, James told ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin that he hasn’t lost touch with Wade in the slightest since [...]

LeBron James has plenty of respect for the Toronto Raptors. And how could he not? They have a chokehold on the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed—and that includes an 11-game lead in the win column over his Cleveland Cavaliers. Though the reigning Eastern Conference champs have bounced the Raptors from the playoffs in each of [...]

LeBron James is the poster child of how long a world-class athlete and body can maintain peak performance and athleticism for longer than its predecessors of 50, 30, 20, even 10 years ago. James is playing statistically as good as ever in his 15th NBA season and at the age of 33 he is on [...]

Who says throwback posts are only for Thursdays? During a recent appearance on The Bill Simmons podcast, Chris Bosh talked about why himself, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade chose to join forces with the Miami Heat rather than the New York Knicks. Here are his comments, via The Athletic’s Mike Vorkunov: [tweet https://twitter.com/MikeVorkunov/status/975844897474465792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhoopshype.com%2Frumors%2F] This is fantastic.

Oh, how things have changed for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It used to be that Kevin Love was the odd All-Star out—the less important of three A-listers, the one who needed to make the most sacrifices, the name most likely to crop up in offseason and midseason trade rumors. But here we are, almost four years, [...]

LeBron James? LeBron James Jr.? In the NBA? At the same time? It could happen. And LeBron senior is hoping it does: [tweet https://twitter.com/espn/status/973268661325746177] This would be cool. As the LeBron Wire’s Chris Ross pointed out, the James boys would be the first father-son duo to play in the NBA together. That’d make for a [...]

Hear that? You know, that loud, dulcet buzzing? It’s fans of the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and every other potential LeBron James suitor, humming along to the music in their ears that began playing on Sunday night, after the Cleveland Cavaliers lost their fourth game in five tries. This latest letdown came [...]

The race for LeBron James’ affections is getting heated. Not to mention overrun with billboards. First a Philadelphia-based company put up billboards in Ohio recruiting the four-time MVP on behalf of the 76ers. Now, a Lakers fan has done the same in Los Angeles, per ESPN.com’s Ohm Youngmisuk: Jacob Emrani, a personal injury attorney and [...]

Joel Embiid wasted little time in using the Philadelphia 76ers’ victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night to his advantage. On the heels of his team’s 108-97 deconstruction of the reigning Eastern Conference champs, the expert-Instagrammer subtly began his public courtship of LeBron James: [tweet https://twitter.com/JoelEmbiid/status/969435565472010240] Is this tampering? It feels like tampering. Even [...]
