Jeff Teague boldly declared that LeBron James is not “playing for real” and criticized the four-time MVP’s lack of effort in the Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. On Sunday afternoon, James’ Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the Timberwolves in a crucial Game 4, with Minnesota holding a slender 2-1 lead in the first-round matchup. Anthony Edwards proved to be the star, dropping 43 points in the stunning win that left the Lakers facing a premature postseason exit. James dropped 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists in another dominant showing, while he appeared to prove he can…
It appears that Luka Doncic is making his presence felt in California, both on and off the hardwood. One of the most beloved athletes in the city of Los Angeles already, Doncic continued to build goodwill with his most recent act, a donation to help restore a vandalized a public art installation. The former Dallas Maverick and current Lakers star covered the entirety of a $5,000 GoFundMe to clean up a defaced Kobe Bryant mural in Los Angeles, a piece of art that honored the late great Bryant as well as his late daughter Gianna “Gigi” Bryant The two passed…
Former Napoli captain Francesco Montervino spoke about Napoli and more to TMW Radio, during Maracanà. Milan, who for the bench now? “Sarri or Ancelotti? For the history the second one has had, I believe there’s no contest. But I think Ancelotti will be the coach of Brazil, that’s what they say.” How do you see Napoli now? “Conte has taught everyone to have the eyes of the tiger, he has changed the negative mindset from last year. He is a tiger because he struck now with his paw and won’t let himself be caught.” Can Napoli feel Alessandro Buongiorno’s absence…
If a report from Milan Live is believed to be true, West Ham United are eyeing a summer swoop for Fikayo Tomori to bolster their backline. But the Hammers are not alone in the race, with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur also keeping close tabs on the AC Milan centre-half, who is available for as little as £25m. The 27-year-old Canada-born England international joined Chelsea’s esteemed academy ranks around 20 years ago. He progressed through their youth setup before making his debut in the final Premier League encounter of the 2015-16 season. Having spent the next few years on loan with…
In celebration of Mother’s Day, the AC Milan players will wear their maiden names in the game against Bologna on Friday next week. As we also saw against Cagliari at the end of last season, May 10 to be specific, the Milan players will have their mothers’ surnames on the back of the shirts against Bologna next week. It’s a way for the Rossoneri to highlight Mother’s Day, which is on May 11 in Italy. This was confirmed in today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), stating that Bologna will join the initiative as well. Once again, we…
The Los Angeles Lakers are down 3-1 in their playoff series with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but if the team just made a couple more plays in Game 4, the series would be tied 2-2. Head coach JJ Redick decided to play the lineup of LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith for the entirety of the second half. It’s the only time since the NBA started tracking these stats that the same lineup has played for an entire second half. Redick is a rookie head coach, and it’s typically not a great sign when you’re making…
A’ja Wilson’s friend, Michael McManus, who is also known on social media as Deloris, has put in his vote as to where Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo should play next season. McManus reacted to a post on X saying that Adebayo should be sent to the LA Lakers next season to complement Luka Doncic and Lebron James, with his tenure in Miami looking a bit shaky after a down year for the franchise. The Lakers have struggled in the playoffs this season, as they are 3-1 down against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.…
When news broke that the beloved “Mambas Forever” mural of Kobe and Gigi Bryant was vandalized in downtown LA, it hit Lakers fans like a gut punch. This wasn’t just a painting, it was a living memory of Kobe’s legacy, a public promise to never forget. In stepped Luka Dončić, new to the Lakers but already ingraining himself in the city, dropping $5,000 to cover the entire GoFundMe campaign to restore the mural. In one move, Dončić did what so many talk about but rarely do. He actually showed up. It’s hard to overstate what the “Mambas Forever” mural means…
Luka Doncic is the latest superstar who will take the mantle and be the face of this Los Angeles Lakers franchise. Once LeBron James retires, he will fully take that spot from James, who followed the late, great Kobe Bryant. Bryant, of course, is not just a Lakers legend, but one of the most iconic athletes the NBA has ever had, transcending well beyond the game of basketball. This is why it was so disheartening to see one of the many murals honoring him and his daughter Gianna Bryant, who both tragically passed away in a helicopter crash in 2020,…
Through four games of the first-round series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, the difference in bench production has been staggering, and the numbers tell a harsh truth. Timberwolves forward and former Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid is outscoring the entire Lakers bench by himself. Reid is averaging 13.8 points per game in this series, while the entire Lakers bench has managed just 7.4 points per game. That disparity has become one of the defining factors in the Lakers’ falling behind 3-1 in the series. Reid came out firing in Game 1, dropping 23 points…
