Is LeBron James wrong about the NBA’s play-in games?

James wasn’t happy about the idea of a play-in game.

Even if LeBron James once seemed to like the idea of the NBA’s added play-in games to get more teams involved in the run for playoff spots, he ripped it earlier this week, saying, “Whoever came up with that (expletive) needs to be fired.”

Is he right or wrong? Our Charles Curtis and Bryan Kalbrosky broke down the play-in possibilities and James’s comments and disagreed with the Los Angeles Lakers superstar. Yes, it wouldn’t be great for the league if its biggest star loses in a play-in game, but it’s really good for the rest of the league and its fans who have a shot at seeing their team compete.

Watch the video above to hear what they have to say.

LeBron James shares support of Steph Curry during his return from injury

The basketball world missed Stephen Curry.

The basketball world missed Stephen Curry.

The two-time Most Valuable Player made his long-awaited return to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night against the Toronto Raptors after missing the previous four months due to a broken left hand.

In Curry’s return to the court, fellow stars around the league were watching. While LeBron James has had his battles with the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers’ MVP candidate reached out in support of Curry Thursday night.

James posted on social media he was happy to see Curry back in his “sanctuary.”

Via @KingJames on Twitter:

In Golden State’s 121-113 loss to the Raptors, Curry dropped 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting from the field and 3-of-12 from long distance. The Golden State point guard added seven assists and seven rebounds in 27 minutes in his first game since injuring his hand.

James and Curry will reunite across from each other for the first time this season when the Warriors travel to the Staples Center in Los Angeles on April 7.
