New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Word is LeBron and his agent want to outdo these part owners and is lobbying to buy the NBA (just kidding)

Well, LeBron has been a playing as a point forward which is basically him as 'coach' wants to do. I just have to admire the true head coach who can grab his wrist and say , listen, I want you to play the 4 position like Karl Malone and let a real smaller PG do his job. I'm not even sure Spoestra was able to do that. James is also a 'playing GM' as opposed to a playing coach, so to think that one day he will own the league like Vince McMahon does the WWF is not really that ridiculous. (my own joke).

Not to belabor the point BUT James and his business partner Maverick Carter are both investors of the Fenway Sports Group, which owns the Red Sox, Liverpool FC, the Pittsburgh Penguins and RFK Racing.

He would be like Mike if he owns the Cleveland Cavaliers. There's no place like home. But he bolted his home town team and came back, and bolted again.

Never say never.

Time to unlove Liverpool, then?

Looking at the summer league rookies I am amazed as to how many of these players' fathers also played in the NBA

"Like father, like son"

I can hardly wait for Bronny

Shaq's son will have a really tall job ahead. He's only 6'8", to start with.

Bronny is even smaller, 6'2". He's got to have some skills that Steph doesn't have to shine in the NBA. He's going to play PG, the favorite position as his father, who might designate him to be the PF.

General manager

Best friend is ruining the league

LeBron is pumping his chest again with his war cry.....nothing but posturing on his part. There is no war cry on the Lakers team this year as they are doomed until LeBron exits the team once and for all. To me it is "crying the obvious". But this is the same Perkins who claimed the Lakers would win 70 games and the championship. Perkins was terrible as a player and next to Jalen Rose is my least favorite basketball commentator

James Harden's renegotiated contract meant The 76ers could get Tucker and House.

Why the heck didn't Lebron and Russell do the same?
(They may not be worth their contracts at this stage of their career).
I don't get it. It's not like they really need the money.
Especially when you hear players say 'Winning a championship is the only thing that matters."
Why not put your money where your mouth is, or your game where your money is.
Imagine if they both dropped $10million.
A few nice pieces could be brought in/bought in for $20 million.
And perhaps they could even be a contender to get out of the first round.

Although if Westbrook did drop money, it could just mean it's easier to trade him.
