LeBron James was reportedly the driving force behind the Los Angeles Lakers trading Russell Westbrook instead of pursuing Buddy Hield or DeMar DeRozan last summer. But by midseason, when it became clear that the Lakers would not be in contention for the NBA title, James and his team wanted Westbrook gone. The team reportedly turned down an offer from the Houston Rockets that would have given John Wall to Westbrook in exchange for draft compensation, which irritated James and his camp. The Way Russell Westbrook Plays Needs To Alter The four-time MVP is reportedly pushing Los Angeles to go to any length to sign Kyrie Irving, his former championship teammate on the Cleveland Cavaliers. James, according to Dave McMenamin, still wants to be free of Westbrook. If nothing else, the Lakers will be forced to trade Westbrook due to an allegedly unhealthy dynamic between him and James. It's a dynamic the team should avoid, especially as it tries to make the most of James' final season and compete for another NBA title. On the other hand, according to a recent report, Westbrook, James, and Anthony Davis spoke on the phone and promised to work together this season. Darvin Ham, head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, has issued a possible warning to Russell Westbrook.

Ahead of the 2022-23 season of the NBA, Charlotte Hornets point guard, the All-Star hooper, LaMelo Ball decides to return back to the trusty number 1 jersey. Why Switch To Number 1? There is no definitive reason behind this switch but in a recent interview, the All-Star Player mentioned how he agreed to play in number 2 for his older brother, Lonzo Ball who currently plays for the Chicago Bulls. "I'm not supposed to wear number 2 ever again in my life," said the 20-year-old Ball in a recent news video. Before making his NBA debut in 2020, the 20-year-old basketball sensation wore Number 1 throughout his whole career. Ball chose to wear the number 2 jersey in imitation of his elder brother Lonzo Ball of the Chicago Bulls since Malik Monk, a current Sacramento Kings player, wore the number 1 jersey with the Hornets. He wants to be just him out there because he felt like number 1 is just his, the All-Star added...

The National Basketball Association hosts an off-season competition called Las Vegas Summer League, which is also known as NBA Summer League. NBA Summer League is a 75-game, 11-day off-season competition that traditionally takes place in July.  In NBA History, Who Are The Best Players From The Summer League?

Tom Brady chose to have some amusement with Mike Evans just before his big announcement to "un-retire" on March 13 that broke the internet. Mike Evans Recalls Brady Telling His First Joke During a recent conversation with Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston, the star receiver recalled the tale of how the great quarterback informed him of his choice to return to the Buccaneers.  Evans recalled that Brady made his first joke about the costly cost of the 44-year-"last" old's touchdown ball, which the four-time Pro Bowler famously hurled into the seats after reaching the end zone, the day the news about it surfaced. Evans then said that the quarterback had sent him a coded message that seemed to indicate that they would work together again in the future. He writes to him and provides him a tale about how his ball sold for more than $500,000. That's a bunch of tuition payments, he thinks. To my defense, I didn't realize you were retiring at that time, I remarked after laughing. And in response, he simply laughed and wrote, "There will be more touchdowns in our future." So, I just assume that he's making me laugh or that I'm ignorant of what he's talking about. So, a few moments later, it was revealed that he was returning, and I was delighted," Evans said. When questioned about what he felt Brady, who has developed a reputation as a jokester in recent years, intended by his remark, Evans said he didn't think a comeback would be an...

He also possesses one of the draft class's best shooting percentages.  Birthplace: Jyväskylän MLK, Finland Date of birth: April 27, 2004  Shoots: Right Position: Right Wing  Height: 5’9”  Weight: 176 lbs.  Team: JYP (Liiga) He has a powerful wrist shot that is effective from any position inside the offensive zone. Even his lengthy releases give goalies little time to react, and if the shot is launched from close range, the goalies are put to the test.  He creates a lot of power with some time to load up, making his one-timer even more unstoppable. It worked well as a power-play tool for Liiga's JYP this season, where Kemell played the full 2021–22 season, once again playing above his age group.  Although his average of 0.38 goals per game was the highest on the team, his 15 goals in 39 games played equaled third...

It was therefore quite intriguing to note that there were no Cowboys on the "top 10 highest selling jerseys of 2022" list that the NFL revealed early on Saturday morning on its Instagram page.  With the rise of Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs, it is even more surprising not to see anyone Cowboys player inside the top ten.  Is It Simply Offseason Or Is There Apathy? In previous years, you could always find at least one Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, or CeeDee Lamb on these lists. Whether or not anything piques your interest, you can almost certainly count on the Jones family being interested in it.  The epithet "apathy" has been bandied around lately more than ever, and incidents like these are likely to get Jerry's notice more than lost games, missed converts, or struggling coaches.  This was one of the most dismal seasons for a Cowboys squad in a while. There's a significant likelihood that things inside the facility will alter once Jerry notices the fans beginning to leave.  This is the first indication that fans may be paying attention heading up to the opening of the 2022 season, as Jerry is frequently said to be more concerned about tickets sold, jersey sales, and Television ratings than just the actual match and team building itself.   Let's Take A Ride Back Into The Dallas Cowboys' Past, History, And Achievements: The Dallas Cowboys are a Dallas-Fort Worth-based professional American football club. The National Football Conference (NFC) East division is where the Cowboys participate in the National Football League...
