  • Breaking News: Nikola Jokic Makes Shocking Comment About Los Angeles Lakers

    Breaking News: Nikola Jokic Makes Shocking Comment About Los Angeles Lakers

    Nikola Jokic will not underestimate the Lakers and gave them props for giving the Nuggets their hardest series of the 2023 playoffs.

    Nikola Jokic Avoids Underestimating The Lakers And Shows Respect To Them

    Credit: Fadeaway World

    Nikola Jokic has shown a lot of respect for the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of their first-round matchup in the 2024 Playoffs. Jokic and the Nuggets swept them in the 2023 playoff and 23-24 regular season, but Jokic credits them as one of their toughest opponents.

    “I think every game in the playoff series was really tough, it could have gone either way. It was probably the toughest series we had. Yes, we beat them 4-0, but they’re a really talented team. Well-built, they have a couple of guys. I have huge respect for them and I think it’ll be an interesting series/round.”


    Jokic also heaped praise specifically onto LeBron James, as Jokic is enthralled by what James continues to achieve in his Year 21 season.

    “The guy is amazing. The things he’s doing on the court are really… He’s in the game in so many different ways, not just scoring. He can score from any position basically. He’s a monster. I really appreciate him. I really respect him. I think he’s a very good basketball player, probably one of the best. I really respect him and enjoy playing against the best.”

    Jokic averaged 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds, and 11.8 assists in the 2023 Playoffs against the Lakers, improving his scoring to 29.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 9.0 assists in their three wins over LA this season.

    If history indicates anything, it’s that the Nuggets are heavy favorites but Jokic won’t take any comfort in that fact while heading into a series against LeBron and Anthony Davis.


    Both Teams Are Prepared For This High-Intensity Rematch

    The Lakers are thirsting for revenge while the Nuggets have yet another chance to hand an embarrassing loss to LeBron and the Lakers. Coach Michael Malone commented on this matchup and made it clear that the Nuggets know what to do given what they’ve achieved against them in the last 12 months.

    “We swept them last year. We swept them this year. They come in playing really well and hungry. They want to flip that script. Our players understand that…  We know them, they know us. We know what to expect.”

    LeBron James broke down the series after the Lakers secured the No. 8 seed, praising various facets of the team from Jokic and Jamal Murray to their coaching, and their overall roster.

    “It’s the defending champions. They know what it takes. They know how to win. They’ve been extremely dominant on their home floor. … They got an MVP on their team. They got a closer on their team. They got a hell of a coach. We have to play mistake-free basketball to make it tough on team, they’re gonna try to make it tough on us obviously. But we’re gonna play the greatest game we can play, they’re gonna play the greatest game they can play and it’s gonna come down to one or two possessions and we’ll see who executes then.”

    Both teams would meet extremely disappointing ends to the season with a loss here, so both will be motivated to maximize a positive result. While Denver has the edge, the Lakers could eliminate any team if they’re peaking at the right time. If they can somehow eliminate the Nuggets, they’d become championship favorites.

    Looking back at the best days when Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal were together at NBA All-Star

     

    Reflecting on the glory days of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal’s partnership at the NBA All-Star game brings a wave of nostalgia and emotion for Lakers fans. Witnessing these iconic images reignites fond memories of a bygone era and evokes a sense of sorrow for the tragic fate of the late legend Kobe.

    During their time together, Kobe and Shaq formed one of the most dominant duos in NBA history, capturing three consecutive championships for the Lakers. Their on-court chemistry and unparalleled talent electrified fans around the world, leaving an indelible mark on the sport.

    For Lakers faithful, the sight of Kobe and Shaq sharing the court at the All-Star game is a poignant reminder of the team’s golden era and the bond they shared as teammates and friends. It’s a testament to their enduring legacy and the lasting impact they’ve had on the game of basketball.

    However, amid the nostalgia and celebration of their achievements, there’s also a sense of sadness for Kobe’s untimely passing. His absence serves as a stark reminder of life’s fragility and the preciousness of every moment spent with loved ones.

    As Lakers fans look back on the glory days of Kobe and Shaq, they do so with a mixture of joy and sorrow, cherishing the memories they created together while mourning the loss of a true basketball icon. But through it all, Kobe’s spirit lives on, inspiring generations of fans to strive for greatness and never take a single moment for granted.

    On Saturday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will face off against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in Colorado for Game 1 of their first round playoff series.

    The Lakers got swept by the Nuggets in the 2023 Western Conference Finals, but FS1’s Skip Bayless made a bold prediction during Friday’s episode of Undisputed.

    Bayless on Friday: “The Lakers are going to win tomorrow night, and they’re going to win this series in six games.”

    The Lakers had an up-and-down regular season, but were able to finish as the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a 47-35 record.

    They defeated Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans in the play-in tournament (by a score of 110-106).

    Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

    At 39, four-time NBA Champion LeBron James still remains among the ten best players in the NBA and has shown no signs of slowing down.

    In addition, the Lakers have an extremely talented supporting cast with All-Star forward Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.

    Therefore, it’s extremely possible that the Lakers could redeem themselves from last season’s loss and pull off the upset.

    At the same time, the Lakers have lost each of their last four regular season matchups against the Nuggets.

    Therefore, they have gone 0-8 in their last eight showdowns with Denver.

    The Nuggets are coming off a year where they won the 2023 NBA Championship over Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.

    They finished the regular season as the second seed in the Western Conference with a 57-25 record.

    Nikola Jokic and LeBron James Draw Parallels Between Them and Luka Doncic

    Despite their obvious differences, LeBron James and Nikola Jokic share some commonalities as players. Part of the reason LeBron respects Jokic is because James can see Jokic through a unique set of eyes.

    What makes Nikola Jokic such a dynamic player? LeBron James discussed it with the Lakers media. James kept drawing parallels between Jokic and Luka Doncic throughout the speech.

    “WҺen yоu Һаve tҺe аbility tо scоre аt will, it mаkes yоur pаssing even mоre Ԁynаmic,” Һe аԀԀeԀ. оur leаgue Һistоry is littereԀ witҺ exceptiоnаl pаssers. Greаt, selfless men Һаve been аmоng us.

    LeBron James’ son called him ‘trash.’ The ‘G.O.A.T.’ put Bryce in his place with driveway shots…

    (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)

    LeBron James is not trash.

    He does not suck.

    The Lakers superstar proved those points, and then some, in a series of videos his youngest son, Bryce, posted to his Instagram stories on Thursday.

    The clips show James shooting hoops at night with both of his sons — Bronny, 19, who has declared for the NBA draft and entered the NCAA transfer portal but also could still return for his sophomore season at USC; and Bryce, 16, a high school junior who plays for Sierra Canyon — in the driveway at the family’s home in Brentwood.

    In the first two videos, James is shown attempting some long-range shots with Bryce calling out some good-natured trash talk from behind the camera.

    James was not rattled.

    “You trash!” Bryce yelled before one shot.

    Swish.

    “You suck!” Bryce tried next.

    Swish.

    “It’s not going in,” Bryce said before another shot.

    Swish.

    James responded after that one: “I’m [the] G.O.A.T., bro. G-O-A-T! What’re you talking about, stop playing with me.”

    He then launched another shot.

    Swish.

    “Stop playing with me, man!” laughed James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer who has made 2,410 career three-pointers (eighth all time) out of 6,926 attempts (fifth all time). “This is what I do, man.”

    The next video had James behind the camera and Bryce attempting from the same range — and not having much luck, much to the amusement of his father and brother. One of his shots did appear to go in after bouncing high off the back of the rim, but neither James nor Bryce were impressed.

    “That was too much rim, champ,” James said.

    But, as he showed off the bench for Sierra Canyon this season, Bryce does have a decent three-point shot. The final clip shows him putting up one more from long range.

    “Just shoot it,” Bryce commented while walking into the house with his back to the basket as the ball bounced off the backboard and through the hoop.

    It was all in good fun — and judging by all the laughter and wisecracks throughout the videos, all three thoroughly enjoyed what one can only imagine was a typical night at the James household.

    ‘Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me (Kill me)/It’s just a game, but really (Really)/I’m bettin’ on all three for us two (All three)/Get my car door, isn’t that sweet? (That sweet)/Then pull me to the backsеat (Backseat)/No one’s ever had me (Had me), not like you,’ Swift sings.

    Kelce and Swift have been publicly dating since she attended a Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears on September 24 at Arrowhead Stadium.

    Their relationship has gained significant public interest, due to both being incredibly popular in their specific fields.

    Swift attended 13 Chiefs games in total this season, with Kansas City holding a 10-3 record in those contests.

    Swift was in attendance at all four Chiefs’ playoff games in different cities, including the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, one day after the Japanese leg of her ‘Eras Tour’ ended in Tokyo.

    Kelce has returned the favor, attending his girlfriend’s concerts in Argentina, Australia, and Singapore in recent months.
