According to James, the upcoming Space Jam movie is one of the largest games he has ever played, if not the largest. He also believes that the Goon Squad is the best basketball team ever assembled in history. Interestingly, James was first approached about a Space Jam remake 15 years ago, but he didn’t feel prepared for such a significant project. The film, titled Space Jam: A New Legacy, is scheduled to release on July 16 in theaters and on HBO Max.
According to Sports Illustrated, Anthony Davis has expressed his distaste for playing center position. He would much rather stick to power forward, but he understands that it may not always be possible depending on the team’s needs. It’s likely that Darvin Ham will continue to utilize Davis as a center in certain situations where a smaller lineup is necessary. Davis will need to handle these situations with maturity and professionalism.
The issue of D’Angelo Russell’s future with the Lakers continues to cause a stir. Despite being given another chance, rumors of a possible trade still persist. The 27-year-old needs to step up and show his worth this season if he hopes to stay with the team. Fans haven’t forgotten his lackluster performance in the Western Conference Finals, so it’s important for him to prove his consistency and silence his detractors.
The Lakers have a lot of players to integrate into their team. Along with the four main players, there’s a list of other notable names that Ham is considering. This group includes Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish, Jaxson Hayes, Taurean Prince, Max Christie, and Christian Wood. While Hachimura and Vanderbilt have had some time to get used to the Lakers’ system, the newcomers will also have to fit in seamlessly. It’s important for everyone on the team to mesh well together if they want to succeed.
Bronny James showed off his admiration for his dad, LeBron James, by sharing a touching video that captured the moment when he broke the NBA scoring record. The clip illustrated Bronny’s impressive skills on the basketball court and it was a proud father and son moment.
James made history during the game by scoring a 14-foot fadeaway with just 10.9 seconds remaining in the third quarter. After the game, he watched the replay of his record-breaking basket on his son’s phone and was amazed by it. Although James had a lighthearted reaction to the play, he was quite emotional during the game and even broke down in tears when interviewed during a timeout called by the Lakers bench shortly after his historic shot. James shared that he writes “The Man In The Arena” on his shoe every night, inspired by Theodore Roosevelt, and felt like he was sitting on top of the arena when the shot went in, with the crowd’s roar amplifying the moment.
James basked in the glory of his record-breaking accomplishment as he celebrated with his loved ones. He admitted that he wasn’t sure if he could experience such a euphoric sensation again, except for perhaps delivering a game-winning shot during the Finals. The crowd erupted in cheers and chanted MVP while highlights from James’ remarkable 20-year career flashed on the arena’s video board. It’s worth noting that James earned the distinction of being the youngest player to reach every one-thousand-point milestone from 1,000 to 38,000. Furthermore, he’s currently averaging an impressive 30.0 points per game this season, which is a new record for the oldest player to achieve this feat.
