Sportico recently revealed their list of the 25 highest-paid athletes of all time. At the top of the list is Michael Jordan, who has amassed over $2.62 billion USD in career earnings.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar, LeBron James is officially missing even more games at the start of the season due to an abdominal injury. Just a couple of weeks ago, James suffered a minor ankle injury that caused him to miss a few games. However, he was able to make it back to the starting lineup and help the Lakers to a few wins before now, having to sit out once again, due to another injury. The Lakers have had a rough start to the NBA season despite their wins. With James ruled out for the game against Oklahoma City Thunder, ESPN has reported that he is expected to miss “at least one week.” In a recent interview, Lakers coach Frank Vogel said, “Anytime LeBron’s out and he’s going to miss some time there’s obviously concern. Hopefully this is something that’s minimal and hopefully he’ll b...

Throughout the trade season, Lillard was at the top of rumor mills as fans speculated whether or not he would be traded or stay with Portland.

The NBA player recently caught up with Chris Haynes from Yahoo! Sports and revealed what happened in his meeting with LeBron James over the summer. James had indeed tried to bring him over to the Los Angeles Lakers to play with himself and Anthony Davis to form a super team trifecta. As Lillard ultimately refused James’ propos...

Scottie Pippen fired shots at Michael Jordan and the 2020 documentary The Last Dance in an excerpt of his upcoming memoir, Unguarded. As shared by GQ, the basketball icon explained that MJ and John Paxson both reached out to him as the documentary aired because they knew Pippen was not happy with how The Last Dance turned out. He argued that he was initially excited to participate, but the 10-part ESPN docuseries instead “glorified Michael Jordan” and failed to give “nearly enough praise” to his teammates — and MJ was supposedly largely to blame as “[t]he producers had granted him editorial control of the final product.” He added, “Even in the second episode, which focused for a while on my difficult upbringing and unlikely path to the NBA, the narrative returned to MJ and his determinatio...

NBA fans are currently scratching their heads over the potential idea of LeBron James having a long twin. During the broadcast of the Los Angeles Lakers‘ recent 95-85 victory over the Houston Rockets, a man with a striking resemblance to King James was spotted. The man seated on the sidelines was seen after LeBron delivered a reverse dunk on the counter-attack to mark his 15 point, eight assist and seven rebounds performance. Snacking on popcorn, LeBron James’ “twin” looks to have a similar physical build, thick beard and was dressed in a gray sweater with a matching fedora reminiscent of the four-time MVP’s usual style. Check out LeBron James’ “twin” and reverse dunk on the counter-attack below. LeBron and … LeBron? ? pic.twitter.com/dQjvMFqYUx — ESPN (@espn) November 1, 2021 DeAndre drop...
