Spike Lee on Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James: I was at the that game that Lakers-Knicks game with Stephen A. and LeBron, when LeBron press Stephen A. I just felt bad, that was sad to have two brothers like that. That was like ‘come on now’. And it didn’t stop! I thought it was going to end but it kept going! Carmelo Anthony: Sh*t don’t stop today. You got to stand on it on both sides. Stand on business.

Anthony Edwards has already beaten KD and dethroned the defending champs on their own court in his young playoff life,
Now LeBron and Luka are standing in his way.
For the Wolves to beat the Lakers, it is going to take Edwards’ most mature performance yet. 👇👇👇 pic.x.com/nnWPBQoiQN – 9:34 AM

Story Time on The Haynes Briefs show. How we risked it all to cover LeBron James’ availability in Toronto and how @ByJasonLloyd, @mcten, and @joevardon refused to allow the rules of the road to deter us from that mission.

Rui Hachimura says with the defense the Lakers are anticipating the Wolves to spring on LeBron, Luka and Reaves, it will be imperative on him, Vincent, Hayes and Finney-Smith to be ready to provide an offensive lift in the first round pic.x.com/GgBtHsISJU – 5:14 PM

A glimpse of Lakers practice. LeBron James is wearing a sleeve on his left leg. He exited his last game of the regular season last week because of discomfort in his left hip and groin. pic.x.com/oHGWI9KGRR – 4:29 PM

JJ Redick says the last several weeks of the regular season “reinforced” the Lakers’ belief that they will win based on their defense. And he specifically credits LeBron James’ leadership on that end of the floor pic.x.com/nAS83zkNjH – 10:09 PM

Wanted to share a video I recorded last week on Lebron & AD’s time together. Did you expect more from the two? Started with a Championship, but many disappointments followed.
Let me know what you think…

More on this storyline
After committing to Arizona in January, Bryce James, the youngest son of LeBron James and younger brother of Bronny James, officially signed with the Wildcats on Thursday. “What’s going on Wildcat nation, can’t wait to get there and start working. Bear down,” Bryce said in a post on X. -via New York Times / April 18, 2025
Draymond Green: The matchup for me is LeBron James versus Julius Randle because the way Bron plays today isn’t the way he played with this new Laker team. So he’s going to put Julius in a lot of actions. I know early in the year that was kind of the knock on the Timberwolves was that could they get Julius to guard, I think he picked it up on that side of the ball but now Bron is going to try to expose Julius on the defensive end. -via YouTube / April 18, 2025
Chris Finch: LeBron’s a locomotive in transition by himself but they really value the long pass and you just got to get back and basically just got to play like you a deep safety in football. -via YouTube / April 18, 2025
