LeBron James unexpectedly spotted on highway, shows off limited-production convertible's power​

It’s not every day you’re driving the highways in Los Angeles and come across LeBron James.
Combine that with a black mask and it’s all very 2020.
A self-described car enthusiast named Alex caught James, named a Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year for a record third time, driving down the 405 in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar pulls up and then speeds by.

Interestingly, no one in Alex’s vehicle says anything at all. No yelling out the window, no speaking on the video, just laughs when James shows what the convertible is capable of doing.
James is in a black Porsche 918 Spyder convertible, a limited-production plug-in hybrid sports car. It started production in 2013 at $845,000 and ceased in 2015. Motor Trend independently tested the motor and got it from 0-60 mph in a record 2.4 seconds, the fastest of any vehicle it had tested at its regular California Speedway track.
The four-time NBA champion signed a two-year, $85 million contract extension with the Lakers last week. Teams have begun training camps and are scheduled to play their first preseason games this upcoming weekend.


gotta love $85M spread over 2 years

Love how Kyrie endears himself on media day.....nothing changes

Stephen A. Smith sounds off on Kyrie Irving after his decision to opt out of Media Day.

Stephen A always tells it how it is

After that shot that gave him his only ring, he wanted to be traded. Got traded. Told the Garden fans he wanted to be there for long. Then suddenly lost his patience with the young Celtics. Called Lebron to apologize for nothing he had done. Bolted out before the buzzer sounded in a celtics elimination game. Got to recruit KD to join him a a year where them 2 were injured. So if they get to win a title together, I gotta hand it to KD for winning despite Kyrie.

Frankly, I think the dude is bipolar.

so they are shopping Harden after getting Wall for Westbrook . This will be interesting to see a Rocket blow up and Harden somewhere where he can chase a ring. Frankly I don't think that is ever going to happen with either him or Westbrook

James Harden trades: Teams that can make real offers​

Stephen A. Smith thinks the Rockets should be patient with James Harden until they get an appropriate trade offer.

I read Harden has no say in where he gets traded as his contract has no such clause. I'd say trade him to Washington for Bradley Beals so he can reunite with Westbrook.

Now there is a stand-up guy that deserves to be a 'lifer' with one team and he voiced out his desire to retire as a Warrior. But not the phony-baloney PG13 who always says the right thing on every team he's with(Indy, OKC, and now Clippers). "I want to retire as a Clipper", what a joke!

A beginner's guide for getting traded.

The NBA required players to test negative for the coronavirus for three consecutive days before entering team facilities for individual workouts before training camp. Players were also required to quarantine aside from testing and workouts at the team facility and essential activities such as grocery shopping.

"However, Harden opted to work out on his own at the University of Houston, and attended rapper Lil Baby's birthday party in Atlanta over the weekend, and then spent a few nights in Las Vegas. Harden did not wear a face mask at the birthday party or in Las Vegas nightclubs, social events that violated the league's COVID-19 protocols."

James Harden would be willing to play with 76ers according to Michael Wilbon (PTI). The problem is Houston wants a real trade. They are not going to klet Harden out the door for nothing no matter how much he pouts.

Agree, Houston would want a ton of assets for Harden. But who has more assets present and future than Danny Ainge? Kemba suddenly developed an arthritis problem in the 2nd half of last season (1st half he was an all-star, kinda like Kyrie), so Harden can 'fill in' the gap. He has been so much maligned in the press that I shunned the idea of him wearing a Green jersey but come to think of it, we gives 100% of his energy to offense, and of late, has impressed even his old coach with his defense. So I'm ok with Danny giving the Rockets 4 rookies picks from last month's draft, and 3 sophomores from last season. And the logical flow is Kemba is included.

A lot of attention for a player with no championship pedigree.

Dec 21 is the key date. If Giannis does not sign his supermax contract, then it means he's about to wear the infamous Looney Tunes' 'That's All Folks' T-shirt. in Milwaukee. ​

A lot of attention for a player with no championship pedigree.

Well, I can even add Giannis to that group. 2 time MVP, DPOY, top leader in league scoring, 7 years in the league, no title. Seeking for a 'recruiter' maybe. But he has a chance this season.

 

[christoph]

Serge Ibaka is a good add (but I didn't like him when he was with OKC)

It's the opposite for me.
I always liked Ibaka and especially with OKC

I like Ibaka specially when Marc Gasol arrived in Toronto and he was relegated to the bench and had much lesser playing time. But when Gasol was injured, he played with great enthusiasm which was the reverse of Ray Allen who sulked and even bolted out after being used as a bench player.

 

[christoph]

While not a fan anymore of Kyrie, he spoke his mind and facts support him, unlike the flat earth.

If I were Kyrie, I'd even add - if he's that great, why did he come to me in Cleveland?

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James knows a jab when he sees one. So, when Kyrie Irving implied Kevin Durant was the first clutch shooter Irving ever played with, James couldn’t help but feel hurt.

Let the Harden to Boston rumors begin.

This one ships out Jaylen and Brown and 2 first rounders for the Beard. Maybe Brown and 3 picks, retaining Smart. Someone needs to be angry at the locker room.

James Harden's desire for a trade is undeniable at this point. Even after the Rockets went out of their way to trade for John Wall and sign DeMarcus Cousins,
