Tracy McGrady: I think LeBron has been amazing for 22 freaking years. And he’s been the best basketball player for, you know, God knows how long. But if you put him in one-on-one? I think he’ll get crushed. Yeah, I think he’ll get crushed — amongst guys that are actually in the NBA. And I’m sure LeBron would tell you that. Because his game is naturally built for five-on-five. He’s not a one-on-one basketball player. Kobe is a one-on-one basketball player. Kyrie is a one-on-one basketball player. James Harden — these guys are one-on-one basketball players. And LeBron can’t do anything with that.” So I don’t know. I just know — we always name the big-name guys, but there are some guys out there that you don’t think about, that really can play one-on-one basketball.”

Players have been making ‘finer gun’ gestures on the court for a long time without any sort of league review needed after.
I remember LeBron in the Finals against the Warriors. Heck, the 3-point “reload” celebration was everywhere a couple years ago.
Seems like petty drama – 3:02 PM

LeBron has played 38 minutes in four of his last five and 39 in the other. And he’s 40 years old.
Meanwhile, Zion’s season is over again and Embiid’s season ended weeks ago. In theory, those two would fall under the category of rested, not tired, for the playoffs. – 7:10 PM

With a 104-98 Lakers victory, they’re now 1-1 vs. Houston this year, and can secure the tiebreaker with a win in the April 11 rematch in LA.
Six big 3’s apiece from DFS + Vincent resulted from Houston’s determination to send extra attention to Luka/LeBron/Reaves. – 12:46 AM

The Lakers validate their strong win in Memphis with a great win against the surging Rockets, 104-98, to start homestand. HOU came in winners of 12 of their last 13 and LAL’s defense held them to 41.6% shooting. Luka 20p 9a 6r; DFS 20p 6r; Gabe 20p; LeBron 16p 8r; AR 12p 8r. – 12:31 AM

Jordan Goodwin goes from turning down a three that he should have shot to tracking down the three that was missed by LeBron, and getting the offensive rebound/putback. That’s incredible (and redemptive) effort. AK – 10:40 PM

Excellent defensive stretch here from the Lakers with their small ball unit, with the low man (often LeBron) impacting the Rockets inside.
Lakers went on a 9-0 run to take a 12-9 lead. – 10:18 PM

More on this storyline
Tracy McGrady: what I’m witnessing now — and by any means, this doesn’t make him the greatest player to me — but what I am witnessing with my own eyes is watching a 40-year-old man do what he’s doing on the basketball court. It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in sports.” “Yeah, I would say that. It is the greatest thing my eyes have seen in sports — for a 40-year-old guy to do what he’s doing at that level, and to do that consistently every single night. I don’t know how he’s doing it. I don’t know how he’s doing it. I hope it’s the right way, because that would be devastating to our sport and this league.” -via YouTube / April 3, 2025
Jarrett Allen on his fastbreak slam tonight: “I wanted to look like LeBron trying to bring it back. I looked at the replay—nothing close.” -via reddit / April 3, 2025
Anthony Slater: Jonathan Kuminga is questionable for the Warriors tomorrow at Lakers. Gary Payton II is out. LeBron James is probable. Both teams should have full or near full rotations. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / April 2, 2025
Aaron Gleeman: Most points before turning 24 in NBA history: 11,514 — LeBron James 9,978 — Kevin Durant 9,264 — Carmelo Anthony 8,731 — Anthony Edwards Edwards has passed Luka Doncic, Tracy McGrady, and Kobe Bryant on this list in the past six weeks. -via Bluesky / March 17, 2025
When asked if LeBron James belongs in the category of all-around players like Grant Hill, Scottie Pippen, and Penny Hardaway, Harper offered a different perspective. “Well, I don’t know if LeBron is a better athlete than what Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway was and what Tracy McGrady was,” Harper said. “If I’m going to group LeBron, I’m going to group LeBron with Oscar Robertson and Magic because he’s a great passer. Now if you’re talking about guys who can score the basketball? Grant Hill can score the basketball, he wasn’t a great passer. He could score the basketball. Tracy McGrady was a great passer and he could score. So, you can group those guys in whatever opinion that you have, none of them are going to be right and none of them are going to be wrong, they are all great players.” -via ScoopB.com / March 7, 2025
