Russell Westbrook didn't hold back about why he didn't enjoy being teammates with LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers.

1. On a recent edition of the Pivot podcast, Stephen A. Smith was asked about his feud with LeBron James, which went to another level last season when LeBron confronted the ESPN personality over comments he made regarding Bronny James on First Take.

We can "thank" LeBron James and Steph Curry for that avoidable dynamic as they continue their all-time, legendary careers indefinitely well into their 30s (and 40s). Until these two icons walk away, the NBA and its fans will (somewhat justifiably) never give the more modern faces of the league the bigger spotlight they deserve. That's a shame.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith continues to make the rounds on the podcast circuit, and this time he's taken his feud with LeBron James to one of his best friends.

LeBron James made his NBA debut on October 29, 2003. Since then, 83 players on current NBA rosters have been born. This stat comes from Keerthika Uthayakumar, and it really drives home how long LeBron has been in the league.

James is set to miss the Lakers’ opening game of the season against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night due to sciatica. His three-to-four week timeline for a return means that his quest for a fifth NBA title will begin on the shoulders of Luka Doncic.

LeBron James' business partner and his investor group have shifted toward creating a new women’s basketball league to rival the WNBA.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a wild time for the NBA. There was a lot of uncertainty about how games would feel without fans in the stadium, and many, understandably, disliked that eerie, silent atmosphere.
