As expected, LeBron James’ fingerprints were all over the Laker’s win. That’s not surprising because James has been on quite the run lately. As pointed out by Evan Sidery, James has scored 26.7 points, 10.4 assists, and 8.3 rebounds over the last seven games, with a true-shooting rating of 68.4 percent. It’s his 22nd year in the NBA and James is still dominant.

(Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)   For years, NBA fans, pundits, and even current and former players have debated who is the greatest player of all time. Most old-school fans will always talk about Michael Jordan, while the younger generation tends to lean towards LeBron James. Some also bring Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, or Kobe Bryant to the table, but most people agree that the truth might lie between one of those two. With that in mind, a fan asked NBA Commissioner Adam Silver his thoughts on the matter (via NBA Central).

Truth be told, this speaks volumes. Having the main authority of the ultimate basketball tournament on Earth gives you the nod, which might be a cementing argument...

And while they are definitely a good squad, they aren’t doing as well as people had hoped and hold a 4-5 record right now. Speaking on “First Take”, Kendrick Perkins talked about his worry for the team. He said his level of concern for the Knicks is “through the roof” and he doesn’t think they are built to go all the way this season and will have more success in the seasons ahead. . @KendrickPerkins says his level of concern for the 4-5 Knicks is “through the roof.” “My blood pressure is high when I watch the New York Knicks.” pic.twitter.com/07L0B80Y5S — First Take (@FirstTake) November 12, 2024 Perkins likes what he sees from New York’s offense and thinks they can be a real threat when it comes to scoring. But winning the season requires great defense and the Knicks are sadly lacking in the department. Of ...

This game will feature Klay Thompson’s big return to San Francisco after leaving the Warriors this summer. Speaking of Thompson, his former teammate Draymond Green is having a strong season. In fact, he’s playing better than Thompson in a very important way. According to ClutchPoints, Green is shooting nearly 10% better from the three-point line than Thompson. He is putting up 1.4 three-pointers on his 3.1 attempts, going 14-of-31 from downtown. Meanwhile, Thompson is landing 2.9 three-pointers on 8.2 attempts, shooting 29-of-82 from that part of the court. Who will perform better on Tuesday night?

Their injury list grew again on Tuesday morning, when it was announced by Shams Charania, via Legion Hoops, that Jose Alvarado is expected to miss six weeks because of a hamstring injury. Alvarado suffered the injury during Monday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets and now he will begin the rehabilitation process.

Alvarado joins Zion Williamson, Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, and Jordan Hawkins. Few teams have experienced the sort of bad luck New Orleans has right now and it’s not sure what they can do to recover from this. They were already in a tough spot before Alvarado went down...

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   At one point during the first half of the 2024 NFL season, the Chicago Bears looked like they had become a legitimate force to be reckoned with in the NFC, as rookie quarterback Caleb Williams seemed to be figuring things out while the team around him was starting to come together. The Bears were 4-2 and everything appeared to be pointing in the right direction, with a spot in the NFL playoffs looking like a real possibility for Matt Eberflus’ squad. Unfortunately for Chicago, things have taken a turn for the worst, with the team now having lost three straight games following their loss to the lowly New England Patriots in Week 10 at Soldier Field in front of the Bears faithful. One of the glaring issues for the Bears has been their lack of protection up front, as Williams was sacked nine times in the loss to the Patriots on Sunday, which isn’t ideal for a player the team wants to be their new face of the franchise. On Monday, former...
