In today’s NBA news, LeBron James, entering his 21st season, jokingly complained that his “new role” as the Lakers’ elder statesman isn’t going as planned. During a practice scrimmage, LeBron attempted to mentor his younger teammates on leadership, but they hilariously kept deferring to him, saying, “You’re still the King, man!”
Elsewhere around the league, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who recently announced he might leave the Milwaukee Bucks if the team isn’t championship-ready, was spotted browsing “Championship Contender” forums online. Sources say he’s getting very good at reading between the lines of social media posts from rival GMs.
Meanwhile, James Harden was seen practicing “how to pack light for unexpected trades,” a skill he joked about mastering after three relocations in as many years. Harden, sporting a new shirt reading “Just Here Until I’m Not,” told reporters, “I’m just trying to stay in the moment… and not in moving boxes.”
In more peculiar news, Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ rookie phenom, was seen towering over San Antonio’s iconic River Walk in what onlookers described as a “Godzilla-esque” walk-through. He was reportedly just getting some fresh air, but the city’s tourism board is considering making it a regular attraction.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, in his ongoing effort to modernize the league, hinted at a possible rule change: “Any player making a move involving more than three pivot steps will automatically be awarded an extra step because, let’s face it, everyone does it anyway.”
