So what might The King look as an owner? Will he be a controlling figure, harkening back to his much-memed days as “LeGM”? Or will he be willing to step aside and delegate the work to members of his front office? As usual, the answer lies somewhere in between. During the inaugural “TNF in The Shop”, which broadcast the Tennessee Titans and the Green Bay Packers’ Thursday night clash involving guests such as Maverick Carter, Paul Rivera, Jamie Foxx, Jalen Ramsey, Rob Lowe, and Dez Bryant, LeBron James gave fans an insight as to how he might operate as a team owner. “I don’t wanna pick the players but I wanna be a part of the process. I wanna be part of the process because I know players and I watch them all. But I don’t wanna do their job. But I’m hiring you to do a job and giving you a timeline to do your job. If you do not do your job, you know, it’s probably time,” James said.

Kawhi finished +26 in 24 mins. He had 6 pts, 5 rebs, 4 asts, snapping 177 straight regular-season games in double figures, 3rd-longest active streak behind LeBron (1,106) and Luka (180). Last time Kawhi failed to reach 10 points was Dec. 18, 2017 against Clips per @ESPNStatsInfo – 1:11 AM

Kevin Durant is the 19th player in NBA history to score 26,000 points. Only other currently rostered player to reach 26K is LeBron James. If Durant scores 25 pts vs POR, he’ll join Michael Jordan as the only NBA players in past 55 yrs to score 25+ in their teams first 16 games – 11:41 PM

With that basket, Kevin Durant (19 points) is the 19th player in NBA history to score 26,000 career points.
The only other player currently on an NBA roster to reach the 26,000-point mark is LeBron James. – 11:31 PM

Who Can Be Traded and When After an Extension? — Hoping to clear up some of the confusion why someone like LeBron cannot be traded, but Bojan or even Darius can. Not suggesting they would be, but what’s up with the rules? sportsbusinessclassroom.com/who-can-be-tra… – 10:42 PM

The Lakers say they have officially upgraded LeBron James (left adductor strain) to questionable for Friday’s home game against Detroit. The injury has sidelined James for the Lakers’ last two games.

Mark Medina: Lakers’ Dennis Schröder on LeBron James: “He didn’t really say too much at the beginning of the season. But I think the last two games in video sessions and in practice, he has been vocal to everyone on what we want to do and try to accomplish. That’s what we need from him.” -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / November 17, 2022
