LeBron James and the Lakers might need an offseason sales department.

The Lakers were viewed with considerable skepticism, based on their poor roster, the shaky status of coach Luke Walton and a general lack of faith in the front-office tandem of Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka. Those who picked the Lakers as the top"win-now" option pointed to a single, overriding factor: LeBron.

James failed to make a mark in a question about the MVP race and came in fifth when players were asked which player they would pick if they were starting a team from scratch. Of 117 fielded votes, James took second by a thin margin over Kobe Bryant . Michael Jordan still reigns supreme with 73% of respondents claiming they still want to be like Mike.

This is one of the most flat articles I have ever read on Forbes

Man tried to play thru an injury and everyone hating on him now saying his career over. He’s bouta be back next year and silence everyone.

Y’all missing out. Cherry flavored Sprite is da bomb.

James Harden is 'cheating' the game: Clippers commentator Don MacLean blasts Houston Rockets StarHarden scored 31 points as the Rockets thrashed the Clippers 135-103 in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. Criticism of James Harden has reached an absurd level by commentators this season. if Rockets are successful with Harden's way of play, why are these morons whining? A commentator complaining about opposing player while his team is down by 30 points, ok? I don’t realize Harden had the cheat code to the NBA. Is it Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, B, A, Select, Start?Harden better conceal his cheat code before others acquire it. SMH.Why is the argument with Harden is championships when we don’t do the same to other all time greats? I had to tolerate tha NBATV telecast, which meant the Clippers feed should've been on mute.
