No Fans? No LeBron!

The NCAA’s worst nightmare is happening… We all know March is the time of the year every NCAA fans are waiting for – March Madness is in less than 2 weeks, but with the coronavirus outbreak threatening players and fans, it’s not sure what will happen.

Brian Hainline, the NCAA’s chief medical officer said on Friday –
“I think a worst-case scenario is that it’s played behind closed doors, it would be very, very difficult to cancel a championship and have it at any other time.”

The NBA is also gets ready for taking steps in order to ensure the safety of its players and fans. LeBron James, one of the best players in the league commented on the possibility to play in empty arenas –

“You mean play games without the fans? No. It’s impossible. I ain’t playing. Not without the fans in the crowd, that’s who I play for. … If I show up to an arena, and there ain’t no fans there, I ain’t playing. So they can do what they want to do”.

On Friday, the NBA sent some instruction regarding the situation asking them to check the temperatures of staff members, players, referees and everyone else who is relevant.

The regular season is ended on April 15th.

In the skill challenge it was Bam Adebayo from the Miami Heat who won, and was ready for the All-Star game.

The 3 Point Contest was pretty close this year with Devin Booker, who got into the contest as a replacement for Damian Lillard, lost by 1 point in the final round to Buddy Hield from the Sacramento Kings.

The Dunk Contest was something else this year! When Derrick Jones Jr won by 1 point the AMAZING Aaron Gordon!

You Know What It is – ‘Taco Tuesday’

NBA superstar, business man and entrepreneur, Lebron James is looking to trademark the term “Taco Tuesday”. At all started with one Instagram story and now it became a thing – Taco Tuesday. New Lakers star Anthony Davis appeared in one video and even James with a Space-Jam 2 jersey was there.

But James wants to take it one step forward and LBJ Trademarks LLC, one of Lebron’s companies, has filled an application to trademark “Taco Tuesday”.

As it stated in the application – “advertising and marketing services provided by means of indirect methods of marketing, communications, namely, social media, search engine marketing, inquiry marketing, mobile marketing, blogging and other forms of passive, shareable or viral communications channels.”

It’s seems like his move to the Los Angeles Lakers wasn’t entirely base on basketball but on business as well as the good of his family.

Lebron started shooting Space Jam 2 in July and his son, Lebron James Junior, who is known for his great potential, will play in Sierra Canyon HS alongside the son of NBA legend Dwayne Wade, Zaire Wade.

Space Jam 2 Is in Production

Lebron James, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, announced on his twitter account that him and his crew are starting to film Space Jam 2.

If you are not familiar with this film – Space Jam 1 is a basketball film from 1996 starring no other than Michael Jordan. In the movie, Jordan helps Bugs Bunny and his Loony-Toons friends to win a basketball match against aliens.

In the original movie, Jordan recruited some big names like Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Bird, Larry Johnson and more.

According to sources in Space Jam 2, Lebron managed to recruit big names such as –

Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Chris Paul and Damian Lillard. The movie will be directed by Ryan Coogler, the “Black Panther” director.

Not everyone is happy with that. Basketball legend and analyst Charles Barkley, who was a part in the original movie said in an interview – “Not at all. Well, listen, I don’t care. Space Jam 1 was amazing. We don’t need 2. Space Jam 1 was a classic. I don’t like when people try to imitate something that was already good.”

Space Jam 2 is expected to hit the theaters in 2021.

Antony Davis is a Laker Now!

And What It Says On The Future of New Orleans?

It finally happened! After the mid season talks about sending Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers caused series chemistry problems in both organizations, it finally happened –

New Orleans sends Anthony Davis (top 10 player in the NBA) for Lonzo Ball (former no. 2 pick in the NBA draft), Brandon Ingram (former no. 2 pick in the NBA draft), Josh Hart (solid role player), The 4th pick in the 2019 draft (which New Orleans turned into multiple picks by trading a few spots back), and 3 more first round picks.

The Lakers basically gave their young core and become a championship contender -the Lakers has 1 more spot to land a superstar to play alongside Davis and Lebron James.

Davis averaged – 25.9 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.4 blocks per game.

Lebron averaged – 27.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.

And New Orleans has a very bright future now.
The also drafted Zion Williamson – the best prospect of the draft and probably the best prospect since Kevin Durant.

Lonzo and Ingram showed flashes of greatness and now has a new home to develop their craft outside the spot lights of L.A.

New Orleans also drafted 2 interesting prospects in the 8th and 17th picks (they turned the no.4 pick into those picks) – Jaxson Hayes and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

In my opinion, both teams got what they were looking for and time will tell who got the best bargains in this trade.

The Dynamic Duo 2.0

According to sources, the two talented kids of NBA legend, Lebron James, will play next year for Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California.

Lebron James Jr and Bryce James, 14 and 11 years old in accordance, are leaving Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California, and will attend Sierra Canyon.

According to The Los Angeles Daily News, Zaire Wade, the son of the future hall of famer Dwayne Wade, is moving to Sierra Canyon as well and probably will team up with LBJ JR.

Bronny will be a 9-grader and Zaire is already a junior at American Heritage High School in Plantation, Florida.

The news confirmed by Lebron James himself in his Instagram story on Wednesday night.

In 2010 Lebron joined the Miami Heats and joined forces with Wade. This dynamic duo won 2 rings and provided unforgettable highlights.

Can we expect the same from Bronny and Zaire?

The Fans Want a Change!

Angry Lakers fans protested outside the team’s arena – the well-known Staples Center. The fans are not happy of how things turned out this past season.

The season started with high hopes when the Lakers managed to sign Lebron James, one of the greatest players of all time. But from that point, things started go sideways…

It continued when no other superstar signed with the team, then followed with questionable signs of free agents like Michael Beasley, Lance Stephenson, Javale McGee. If that wasn’t enough, the young core of the Lakers showed no signs of improvement despite the high hopes.

Against all odds, the Lakers took the 4th seed in the west and things looked pretty good. But on Dec 25th, Lebron got injured and missed almost 20 games and the young core as well and the Lakers found themselves out of the playoff race – for the six time in a row.

Then “Magic” Johnson, the team’s president of basketball operations and the one who convinced Lebron to sign with the Lakers, resigned without informing Jenny Bass – the team owner. They fired their head coach Luke Walton and still couldn’t find any other coach to replace him.

These days, we hear some rumors that the team is trying to trade Lebron…

The loyal fans are sick of this and they want a change.

Rest for the King – LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers won’t play anymore this season

Lakers management along with the medical staff have come to decision that “King James” will sit out the reminder of the season (less than 10 games) in order to allow his body to fully recover.

On Christmas day game against the 2-time defending champs – The Golden State Warriors, Lebron injured his groin which led to almost 20 game absent (the longest absent of his career).

Since the Lakers were eliminated from the playoff race after a loss to the Brooklyn Nets lead-by D’lo (ex-Laker), Lebron was under minutes restriction – 32 minutes a night.

His season average for the first year in L.A are still very “Lebron-ish” – scoring 27.4 points per game collecting 8.6 rebounds and dishing out 8.2 assists.

“Magic” Johnson who is the Lakers President of Basketball Operations, and Rob Pelinka who is the Lakers General Manager announced: “After consulting with our team doctors and medical staff, we have decided to hold LeBron out of games for the remainder of the season. This decision will allow his groin to fully heal, and is best for the future success of both LeBron and the Lakers.”

In order to show support of his teammates, The King will join the team in it’s next 2-game road trip.

Lebron James Played Through “Pain, Pain, Pain” – Said Physical Therapist

It seems like King James’ injury was a lot serious than we thought.
Not long after the Los Angeles Lakers were out of the playoff race, Dr. Karen Joubert, owner of Joubert Physical Therapy in Beverly Hills, shared a picture standing next to Lebron with an unexpected caption – Karen praised him for his willingness to return to action although he was suffering from pain.


“I want you all to know how bad his injury was and is, the pain he endured,” the doctor wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post. “Along with his amazing trainer, Mike Mancias, he was on the court in 6 weeks, it should have been 6 months. Unselfishly, he endured pain, pain, pain. He did not want to let the Lakers down, the fans down. But I know what he went through! I learned about determination, the will to win, how to get the job done. He is a force to be reckoned with. @kingjames @mikemancias1.”

Lebron returned to action late in January and carried the Lakers to a win over in overtime on the Clippers. James said “I am at 80 (percent) right now… it will take him a little time to get back”.

The King is still one of the most dominants players in the NBA, averaging this season a whooping 27.4 points, 8.1 assists, and 8.5 rebounds.

According to Lakers Superstar LeBron James, “Space Jam 2” Will Be Filmed Soon

One of the hottest topics in all basketball is the question – Who is the greatest basketball player to ever play the game? The two names that pop to mind are Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

As we speak, James doing his best to break MJ’s scoring record and take his place (4th) in the highest scoring list.

LeBron, who entered his 16th season, puts up the work and show every night why he deserves the title as the Greatest of All Time (The G.O.A.T).

But apparently, this feud doesn’t stay solely on the court. James, known for his businesses in the media industry just announced on the NBA all-star weekend about his new project – Space Jam 2.

Why is it such an issue you ask?

For those of you who not familiar with the ’90s hit Space Jam, you might want to check who is the leading role there… I will give you a clue – He played for the Bulls… (Yes, it’s Michael Jordan!)

James will have the leading role in Space Jam 2 as well as being one of the producers.

SpringHill Entertainment (LeBron is one of its co-founders), announced On Sep 18 that the Black Panther’s director, Ryan Coogler, has signed to produce the movie, alongside Terence Nance, who confirmed as the project’s director.

Can’t wait to see how it ends up!
