The Lakers overcame injuries to key players and won Game 1 of the playoffs against a challenging opponent.
I was thoroughly impressed Game 1, but you know, like - it's Philly. We haven't lost to Philly in a playoff series since like '82. I'm serious. A lot of people watching this show weren't even born.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office determined the marks are confusingly similar in appearance, sound, and commercial impression, despite the logos having different fonts and designs.
"You want me to compare us to them? That's a championship team right there. We're not," James told reporters. "We can't sustain energy and effort for 48 minutes, and they can. That's why they won a championship."
"This whole MVP thing, I don't understand why his name is not getting talked about some as well," James said. "Like, nobody gave them [the Celtics] a shot to start the season. And he's averaging what, 30? Just under 30? It's a popularity contest sometimes, I tell you."
A sellout crowd packed Barclays Center to watch what might have been LeBron James' last game in New York. They saw King James give Brooklyn a royal thrashing. The Nets got beaten 125-109 by James and his Lakers before a crowd of 18,248 on Tuesday night. And it wasn't as close as the score would indicate. This was yet another desultory performance by a team getting all too comfortable with getting blown out and bullied around.
An emotional LeBron James admitted it "very well could be" his final appearance in Cleveland after being moved to tears during last night's 129-99 defeat for the Los Angeles Lakers. James, who won the NBA title in his second spell with the Cavaliers in 2016, has yet to decide whether he will retire at the end of the season, bringing an end to one of the greatest careers in the game's history.
