The Lakers are optimistic about moving forward without LeBron James this summer, per @EricPincus.
Keep in mind LeBron kept the Lakers afloat in the playoffs WITHOUT Luka Doncic. Crazy.
Aspiration founder Joseph Sanberg has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for defrauding investors for $248 million, per @Baxter. He and the Clippers are being investigated by the NBA for paying Kawhi under the table.
Good reminder that the argument for LeBron is that he’s better in every statistical measure and was completely dominant for twice as many seasons. The argument for Jordan is that his team managed to lose before the Finals every time they weren’t going to win. Riveting debate!
This is the 2007 Cavs vs. the 2026 Spurs.
I understand people trying to compare these two because LeBron and Wemby were both 22, but it’s just not comparable…
Hopefully Victor Wembanyama knows that if he loses in the Finals at 22 years old, he will no longer be eligible to ever be considered better than Michael Jordan.
To be fair, if Cleveland drafted LeBron in 2003, got the fourth pick in the 2005 lottery and drafted Chris Paul and the second pick in the 2006 lottery, which turned out to be LaMarcus Aldridge…
The Cavs front office would be lauded for building great around LBJ
