Some matchup rankings headed into Cavaliers at Los Angeles for New Year Eve
The Cavaliers made a season-high 56 buckets the last time they saw the Lakers, so it will be a real test of the Lakers defense tonight. LeBron James hasn’t played since Christmas, will play first as 40yo pic.x.com/0eMD2W8mpq – 4:48 PM

LeBron James has always done A LOT for the Akron community. House Three Thirty is just the latest example.
This is the first feature I’ve written for Cleveland Magazine, and having a one-on-one with LeBron for it was pretty cool, if I do say so. clevelandmagazine.com/in-the-cle/spo… – 3:39 PM

Tuesday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast! We talk more about the DFS trade and dig into LeBron at 40! Fun fact. When LBJ broke into the NBA (2003), the Batman franchise *with Christian Bale* was still two years from launching! @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

LeBron James turned 40 years old yesterday
He ranked #5 on @Sportico’s Top 50 Highest-Paid Athletes of All Time back in March, and by now he’s up to #4 pic.x.com/OMYSmvrdbc – 11:32 AM

Ty Lue: ‘Kawhi, when he first got in the league, he wasn’t a shooter. Then he expanded. Then he was a corner shooter, then he became better at the wings. Every year he’s gotten better and better. Now he’s a 40% three-point shooter. He was able to take steps of being a post player getting better and better. Same with LeBron. He came in the league and he wasn’t a shooter. Now he shoots 40% from three. He put the work in and so they remind me a lot of each other, like I said, when it comes to that work ethic, putting that work in and get to where they want to get to.’ -via YouTube / December 31, 2024
Speaking as a 40-year-old NBA player for the first time, LeBron James said Monday that, should he desire, he could still play at a high level in the NBA for several seasons. “To be honest, if I really wanted to, I could probably play this game at a high level probably for about another — it’s weird that I might say this — but probably about another five to seven years, if I wanted to,” James said. “But I’m not going to do that.” -via Los Angeles Times / December 30, 2024
