LeBron is 4 for 6 on one-legged 3s this season. Trae has attempted 15 of them. LaMelo has a whole compilation of one-legged 3s on YouTube
My story on the shot NBA stars are adding to their bag:

Dave McMenamin @mcten
New story: Luka was the passer and LeBron was the guy to take the last shot Wednesday. But that won’t always be the case. “I think it will go both ways,” Doncic said. “One time it’s going to be him, one time me” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 10:04 AM
Jorge Sierra @hoopshype
LeBron James passed Horace Grant in blocks last night.
He’s now No. 75 in NBA history.
The only players in the Top 75 in all of the main counting stats are LeBron, Karl Malone and Kevin Garnett. – 6:19 AM
Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Watch LeBron James turn back the clock with a monster dunk
It was about the only highlight of the night for the Lakers, who lost at home to the Hornets.

Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi
I’m LIVE on the @SportingTrib’s X talking about the Lakers loss against the Hornets, the Lakers losing back to back games against two of the worst teams in the league and LeBron James and Luka Doncic still working out how their partnership will look like. x.com/i/broadcasts/1… – 1:20 AM
Eurohoops @Eurohoopsnet
LEBRON JAMES IS DEFINITELY NOT A HUMAN!! 😱😱
Wait for Bronny’s reaction…

LeBron James said Mark Williams never spent time with his Lakers teammates before the trade was rescinded so “it was no different” seeing him playing for Charlotte tonight pic.x.com/WyfOcMV1u7 – 1:16 AM

Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James said the team was told Austin Reaves used too many f-bombs, leading to his ejection. James said that Reaves used the profanity initially arguing the no call, but, “he didn’t say it again” pic.x.com/TFZMJcm7qa – 12:58 AM

Luka with the FULL-COURT dime to LeBron! 🪄🎩

Final: Hornets 100, Lakers 97.
LeBron James misses both opportunities to tie the game and send it to overtime, dropping LAL to 32-21 on the season.

LeBron rescinded Mark Williams’ slot in Charlotte’s closing lineup.
Edit: he’s back in but I stand by the joke. – 12:09 AM

Mark Williams went from briefly being on LeBron James’ team to getting posterized by him: pic.x.com/LmJbdUapzo – 12:04 AM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
A LeBron-led rally has the Lakers back on top, at 86-83, after LA had fallen behind by 9 quite quickly.
James had a big hammer dunk, then a step-back 3 to reach 21 points, and DFS hit his 4th triple of the night to cap the run. – 12:02 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James is on a heater. Two straight layups; then dunked on Charlotte’s 7-footer, Mark Williams (a teammate of his for 48 hours); then hit a 3.
LAL is up 86-83 with CHA after trailing by nine – 5:43 to go in the 4th. – 12:01 AM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Omg LeBron – 12:01 AM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
LeBron. My goodness. – 12:01 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Rough 3rd Q for the Lakers, outscored 32-18 by the Hornets. LAL trails CHA 69-66 heading into the final frame. Not the best night so far for the Lakers’ three best offensive threats. LeBron, Luka and Reaves are shooting a combined 10-for-34. – 11:49 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Bron 4/12
Luka 3/13
Reaves ejected
Lakers blew a 13-point lead to a Hornets team shooting 32% – 11:44 PM

More on this storyline

Mike Trudell: LeBron has been upgraded to available on this second night of the B2B and will start alongside Reaves, DFS, Hachimura and Hayes. -via x.com / February 20, 2025
Jovan Buha: The Lakers say Luka Doncic and Jarred Vanderbilt are out tonight vs. Portland. LeBron James is questionable. -via x.com / February 20, 2025
The Lakers hoped to bolster their frontcourt depth both to improve their defense and give both Doncic and LeBron James a lob threat. The Lakers decided otherwise on Feb. 8, three days after the original deal. Lakers coach JJ Redick declined to address the topic before Wednesday’s game. “Obviously the last two weeks have been national attention. It’s not really something that happens very often,” Williams said. “So I think just the rest of the way being able to show the player that I am, I feel like I’ve been doing that all year and I’ll just try to continue to do that.” -via SportsKeeda / February 20, 2025
