This LeBron James Stat Reveals Just How Long He’s Been Playing For

by

LeBron James has been playing in the NBA for 20 seasons at this point. Just a couple of weeks ago, he turned 38 years old, yet he is still playing like he is in his prime. For instance, just last night, he dropped 32 points against the Sacramento Kings. Sure, he didn’t win, however, he got one step closer to the scoring record.

When all is said and done, James will be a top 2 player in NBA history. Whether his haters like it or not, there is no denying what kind of contributions he made to the game. Simply put, you have to be the worst kind of hater in order to take away from what James has accomplished.

LeBron James & The Ridiculous Stat

There are quite a few stats that showcase just how good LeBron is. However, this stat from Bleacher Report may stun you. As you can see from the Instagram post below, James has played against nine father-son duos at this point. Of course, this stat was researched following his hilarious run-in with Jabari Smith Jr.

The duos in question are Gary Payton & Gary Payton II, Kenyon Martin Sr. & Jr., Rick & Jalen Brunson, Gary Trent Sr. & Jr., Adrian & AJ Griffin, Glenn Robinson Jr. & III, Glen Rice Sr. & Jr., Samaki & Jabari Walker, and Jabari Smith Sr. & Jr. Overall, this is nothing short of impressive.

As far as LeBron is concerned, he just wants to win that fifth title so he can match Kobe Bryant. For now, however, that is going to be a lot easier said than done. Hopefully, the Lakers find a way to get the necessary pieces.

LeBron James Calls Out NBA Officials

by

For years, fans around the league have complained about how LeBron James has been officiated. Many feel as though he does not get the same calls that other superstars get. When you compare him to players across the league, he doesn’t get a ton of free throws. Overall, this has been very frustrating for his fans.

Now, however, it seems like his teammates are having problems as well. For instance, while attempting the last shot of the game last night, Russell Westbrook was held by Joel Embiid. Many thought it was a foul, although the NBA came out and sided with its referees. In the tweet below, it was noted that this has happened frequently to the Lakers.

LeBron James Responds

LeBron James ended up seeing this tweet and decided to respond. Clearly, he feels very strongly about this subject. He has seen this stuff throughout his whole career, and at this point, enough is enough. Overall, LeBron feels nothing but frustration over all of this.

“: And all year they keep telling me to my face on the court, “I didn’t see it” or “It wasn’t a foul”. It’s not making sense to me seriously! Frustrating as hell man! Anyways keep going Squad!” LeBron wrote.

The Lakers are struggling with more than just the officiating at this point. The team just can’t seem to keep it together for more than five games at a time. Consequently, they can’t get anywhere close to the playoffs.

Let us know what you think of LeBron James’ remarks, in the comments down below. Does he have a point? Additionally, be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Draymond Green Gets Real About Jordan Poole Relationship

by

Draymond Green was one of the biggest stories at the start of the year. Of course, this was for all of the wrong reasons. If you remember, the Golden State Warriors star punched Jordan Poole during a practice session. Subsequently, the footage leaked online which made everything worse.

Since that time, it seems as though cooler heads have prevailed. Poole and Green still have good chemistry, and the Warriors seem to be improving. However, there are still rumblings about Green’s future. Having punched a teammate, there is no guarantee he is brought back next season.

Draymond Green Speaks

Recently, Green got to speak with Taylor Rooks for Bleacher Report. During this interview, Green spoke at length about his relationship with Poole. As he explained, it is not perfect, however, it is getting considerably better. Needless to say, there are no hard feelings.

“We go to work every day together,” Green said. “Our lockers are right next to each other, that never changed. We ride the same buses together, we change in the same locker room on the road together — none of that has changed. Did it change our relationship, of course. Absolutely. That’s still a work in progress. I’ll always be willing to continue to do that work because I was wrong.”

Green also noted that he is realistic about the situation. For instance, he doesn’t think Poole is going to want to hang out with him outside of the game. It’s a fair point, although this isn’t unique to just them.

Let us know what you thought of the Poole and Green situation, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Skip Bayless Explains Why Lamar Jackson Quit On Ravens

by

Skip Bayless has had a busy few weeks. Between insulting Shannon Sharpe and disrespecting Damar Hamlin, Bayless is not very popular right now. However, he is still very much employed by Fox Sports, and that is definitely not going to change anytime soon.

Whether you love him or hate him, it is clear that Skip is very entertaining. Overall, one could even liken what he does to performance art. He is always putting on a persona, and it is ultimately what has kept him so popular, for better or for worse.

Skip Bayless on Lamar Jackson

Today, Skip and Shannon spoke about the Lamar Jackson situation. Jackson is injured and will not play for the Ravens this weekend during their Wild Card game against the Bengals. Consequently, Bayless believes Lamar is actually giving up on the Ravens. However, he is only doing so as the Ravens gave up on him first.

“If Lamar wanted to play for his team this weekend, he would. If he had been paid, he’d be out there. He quit on them because they quit on him,” Skip said. “Lamar Jackson wouldn’t think twice about playing vs the Bengals on Sunday if he had been paid. It’s all about the contract.”

Sharpe echoed these sentiments as he said “two things that help injuries the most: ice and money.” Needless to say, both Undisputed hosts are firm on the idea that had Jackson been paid properly, he would be on the field right now.

Jackson himself has stated that his injury is pretty bad and that he wishes he could play. Overall, it has not been a great couple of seasons for Jackson who has consistently gotten injured toward the end.

Let us know what you think of Bayless’ take, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

DeMarcus Cousins Secures Lakers Opportunity

by

DeMarcus Cousins has had a rough go of things over the past few years. After leaving the Sacramento Kings, he has bounced around the league quite a bit. From the New Orleans Pelicans to the Warriors to the Lakers to the Nuggets, Cousins has not been able to settle down.

Overall, it has been hard to watch as fans know what prime Cousins was capable of. As a result of his lack of NBA opportunities, it seemed like Boogie was subsequently planning a move to Taiwan. However, it seems like a new opportunity is keeping him in America.

DeMarcus Cousins x Lakers Reunion?

According to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, Cousins is getting a workout with the Lakers on Friday. Of course, Cousins was on the Lakers back in 2019-2020, however, an ACL injury kept him out of the lineup. It was a disappointing campaign that ultimately led to his recent string of inconsistency.

Now, however, Cousins has a real opportunity to get back on an NBA roster. In fact, Cousins is going to be competing against Meyers Leonard, who is always working out for the Lakers. Most Lakers fans are hoping for Cousins to get the spot as they are already familiar with him.

The Lakers could use a whole lot of help these days. However, it remains to be seen if Cousins or Leonard will get an opportunity. Either way, it is good to see the Lakers exploring all avenues ahead of the trade deadline.

Let us know which player you think the Lakers should pick up, down in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Kevin Durant Injury Isn’t As Bad As Fans Feared

by

Kevin Durant is easily one of the best players in the entire NBA. Unfortunately, over the years, Durant has been injury prone. From Achilles injuries to knee issues, Durant has had to fight through a lot. Overall, this has made it hard for the star to find the consistency needed to carry a team to a title.

This season, Durant has been playing some of his best basketball. With Kyrie Irving by his side, he has shown tremendous poise, which is great news for the team. However, on Sunday night, he went down with a knee injury, this time after being toppled over by Jimmy Butler.

Luckily for Kevin Durant and the Nets, they still pulled out the win. Kyrie Irving scored 29 points and it was quite the performance by the point guard. As for Durant, he had an MRI on Monday morning where the team explored the damage done to his leg.

Kevin Durant Gets Good News

According to ESPN and Adrian Wojnarowski, Durant simply has an MCL sprain to his right knee. This means that he will not have to miss a significant amount of time. Instead, he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Subsequently, the Nets will determine whether or not he is in good enough shape to return.

After winning 18 of their last 20 games, the Nets have built up a solid cushion in the Eastern Conference. Regardless, it will be a lot tougher to succeed without KD in the lineup. For now, it is up to Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons to carry that load.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you the latest news from around the sports world. Additionally, let us know what you think of this KD update, in the comments down below.

Unfortunately for DaBaby, the Grizzlies easily took down the Hornets with a final score of 131-107. Morant led the team to victory through his 23 points and eight assists, further improving their record to 24-13 on the season.

In other news surrounding the rapper, his most recent album, Baby On Baby 2, majorly undersold. According to reports, the project only sold 17,200 units in its first week. Comparatively, Baby On Baby, sold 124,000 units.

As you can imagine, Young has a ton of respect for Irving. He got to watch the Nets superstar as a teenager. Ultimately, this influenced Young to become the player he is today. Overall, Irving has influenced a ton of young stars, although Young definitely sticks out.

LeBron James Is Having Fun After His Latest Win

by

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have had their fair share of struggles this year. This is a team that came into their game against the Orlando Magic with a record of 13-20. It is a record that put them 13th in the Western Conference, which is just abysmal.

However, things somewhat got back on track last night as LeBron led the team to a solid 129-110 victory. The Magic boast some phenomenal young talents, although LeBron was too much to handle as he gave the Magic a 28-point performance.

LeBron James Is Loving It

Despite the losses this year, LeBron has been able to maintain a positive attitude. You can tell that he still loves the game of basketball and with his 38th birthday in just a couple of days, he will not be slowing down, anytime soon. In fact, he is closer than ever to getting that all-time scoring title.

After winning against the Magic, LeBron took to his Instagram page where he offered up some clips of the game. Overall, LeBron seemed to be relieved that his team got back into the win column. He captioned the clip with “that was fun tonight” which just goes to show that he still loves the game, despite the rough season.

Heading into the new year, the Lakers are going to need to put up some big numbers. A win streak is most certainly needed, however, without Anthony Davis, it is going to be hard. Regardless, LeBron James will at least be able to run up his numbers which will get him that much closer to Kareem’s long-standing record.

by

Luka Doncic is easily one of the best basketball players in the entire world right now. He has been showcasing tremendous skill and has carried the Mavericks on his back. Last night, Doncic gave us his best performance yet against the New York Knicks.

Overall, Doncic scored a whopping 60 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists. This performance came in an overtime victory where he led a 9-point comeback with 35 seconds left. This is almost an impossible feat, however, Luka and the Mavericks got it done.

If you love basketball, this was truly a performance for the ages. Not even Wilt Chamberlain had ever scored 60/20/10, which just goes to show how wild this entire statline was. Everyone knows that Doncic is an amazing player, however, no one truly saw this coming.

Luka Doncic Shocks Fans

In some of the tweets down below, you can see what people had to say about his performance. Overall, fans, reporters, and analysts were all blown away. It is very easy to see why as like we said, this was a first of its kind type performance. If you are a lover of all things ball, you have to give it up to the Mavericks superstar for this.

Even with this win, the Mavericks are in a position where it is going to be very hard to compete. The Western Conference is currently stacked as teams like the Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns, and Golden State Warriors have shown themselves to be viable contenders. If Luka wants to actually win it all, he will have to put up numbers like this every single night.
