LeBron James has played against 22 NBA75 players in his career.
He has a winning record against 13 of them, including Kobe and KD.

I talked to Kevin Durant about his reported frustration with the offense last season, his first impression of Mike Budenholzer and if he thinks this group can make a big jump in Year 2 like other teams: arizonasports.com/story/3550433/…12:14 PM

On a Team USA squad with different generations, I wrote about how someone from the older generation (Kevin Durant) inspired someone from the newer generation (Anthony Edwards).
I spoke with KD about that role he has held + Ant’s excitement to team up: arizonasports.com/story/3550256/…7:54 PM

Kevin Durant won’t play against Canada. The question is, will Steph Curry and LeBron James open the game together on the court? They were with different groups during Tuesday’s Team USA walk through, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/56272…6:45 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Let me preface this by saying this Team USA squad shouldn’t be in this position in #Paris2024.
BUT.
Who do you want taking the final shot for Team USA down two with seven seconds left in the gold medal game?
LeBron James.
Kevin Durant.
Stephen Curry.
Someone else. #TeamUSA6:16 PM

More on this storyline

Prime announced Kevin Durant as its newest partner via Instagram on Tuesday, with the Phoenix Suns star joining Aaron Judge, Patrick Mahomes, and Erling Haaland on the company’s roster. The popular sports hydration drink was founded by Logan Paul and KSI in 2022 and also boasts partnerships with sports organizations like Arsenal, the Dodgers, the Lakers, the UFC, FC Barcelona, and the WWE. -via boardroom.tv / July 10, 2024
Kevin Durant was just like the many of us watching the offense who grew tired of seeing a stagnant flow, especially for a team with so much offensive firepower. “If we struggling on offense and the ball is not moving and your best players aren’t being put in a position or in space to showcase their skill — that’s with anybody,” he told Arizona Sports on Tuesday. “I ain’t like when Book was in the corner a lot or if Brad was sitting around a lot. We just stood around. I think you could make more options or we (could have) had more movement in our offense.” -via Arizona’s Sports Page / July 10, 2024
Kevin Durant: “To say I was frustrated about that — that’s just a basketball thing that we always (feel). We trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? Style of play is not something that I’m pissed off at the team about. It’s just like, ‘Yo, we need to figure it out to get better.’ I think [new head coach Mike Budenholzer] has been watching film of what we did last year to try to incorporate some of those things that worked for us and try to finetune some of the things that didn’t.” -via Arizona’s Sports Page / July 10, 2024
