LeBron James is in his 21st season in the league. Already at 39 years old, the all-time scoring leader is staring toward the end of his career. He did claim that he does not know when that end will be. He did not want to give his retirement a definite timeline. But according to Lou Williams, Kobe Bryant‘s last season is a definitive example of what could lead to LeBron James’ retirement. Lou Williams was speaking on the show Run In Back, hosted by FanDuel TV. The topic of LeBron James not being sure of when he will retire was…

On Feb. 21, 2017, Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss orchestrated a major shakeup in the team’s front office, ousting general manager Mitch Kupchak and vice president of basketball operations Jim Buss, replacing them with Magic Johnson. Assuming the title of president of basketball operations, Johnson set about his task of rebuilding the once-great franchise. The move was a shocking one, but the general consensus was that change was needed. Jim Buss had given himself a deadline to bring the team back to contention and clearly was not going to make it, and he and Kupchak had handed out head-scratching…

For at least the last decade, there has been no question that LeBron James has been the face of the NBA. Whether he was in Cleveland, Miami or now with the Los Angeles Lakers, there is no player who has been more impactful than LeBron. Obviously in his 21st NBA season, James won’t be in the league for much longer, which begs many to ask the question who is next in line to take over that mantle. This year’s All-Star Game was full of next generation talent such as Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards and Shai Gilgious-Alexander, amongst others.…

Liverpool injury and suspension news and return dates ahead of Premier League clash with Burnley at Anfield on Saturday Liverpool supporters will be hoping for a number of positive fitness updates on a plethora of key players heading into the clash with Burnley on Saturday. The return of Thiago Alcantara to the Liverpool squad on Sunday was a welcome one and the fact that he came on for his first appearance since April was arguably the only positive to take from the 3-1 defeat at title-rivals Arsenal.

A recommendation to everybody turning up at Anfield this evening – it’s probably a good idea to bring your boots. After all, the injury crisis decimating the Liverpool squad means there’s a pretty good chance you may be at least on the bench for the Premier League clash against Luton Town. To whom, though, is Jurgen Klopp going to turn? Caoimhin Kelleher in goal for a start. Fortunately there are options at centre-back, with Virgil van Dijk partnered by Ibrahima Konate.

Talented though they are, that will be a slight worry for supporters. One player who now looks virtually guaranteed to start at Anfield tonight though is midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. In light of injury to Curtis Jones in particular, the 21-year-old…

Now – after hearing that – Liverpool are preparing a compensation package to lure the man from Tolosa out of his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. Aouna wrote on X (previously known as Twitter): “Xabi Alonso is at the top of Liverpool and Bayern Munich for next season.

The last thing that Jurgen Klopp would’ve wanted ahead of this weekend’s Carabao Cup final is more injuries to key Liverpool players. However, despite a 4-1 win at Brentford last time out, that’s exactly what happened. Klopp was already without Trent Alexander-Arnold for the showpiece, and with Diogo Jota having to be carried off the GTech Community Stadium turf on a stretcher, there was little doubt he was going to miss the final too. Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez were also substituted, but it was an injury to Mo Salah, just back after picking up a problem in the African…
