41 Year old Lebron James
Lebron James is 41 years old and plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. Is he Superman? No, that was Dwight Howard’s thing.
What about Batman? People liked Batman but I do not think James can play Michael Keaton’s role as well, either.
It is Back to the Future featuring no Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves. They ousted their blood, sweat, and tears for a team looking at a good playoff shot. James is LeBron and just the other day lost to the Dallas Mavericks with rookie Cooper Flagg scoring 45 points.
It is obvious there is a paradigm shift happening when James starts to complain about Memphis and Milwaukee. If I had to tell you the truth, today, some of James’ Lakers milestones, especially the 2020 NBA season, do not hold much significance.
To give the benefit of the doubt, if James and Bronny make progress, there is a slim chance of playoffs success even depending on some of the health status. For now, the throne of James is still strong at 41 years old.

One Put, One Enters Transfer Portal
One stays put and the other continues her dominance as the No.2 scorer in the nation elsewhere. Audi Crooks has decided after a 14-0 start and negative stretch, she is entering the transfer portal.
She can return home to Minnesota or play around a tenacious defense such as Texas. Crooks is not so good on the defensive end and creates the most posting-up.
That scoring will continue just as the same comfortable suit as A’Ja Wilson. Wilson decided to stay in Las Vegas after continued success in winning multiple championships.
She signed a super max contract of $1.4 million after the new collective agreement only increased that number from $200,000.

Why is Jon Scheyer Receiving the Duke Treatment
Duke is no longer one of the greatest programs in college basketball. Despite what critics say about Isiah Evans, the Boozer brothers, and Dame Sarr. This team came nowhere close to the vision of Jon Scheyer.
Now, why is Scheyer receiving the Duke treatment after three consecutive Elite Eights and one Final Four appearance (2025)? He can compile all the top recruits, however. But cannot seem to assimilate a packaged NIL plan.
You know, the cable plans customers receive on their bills. There is an option of basic or premium and Scheyer is shooting all his Easter eggs in one bucket.
Mind you, Scheyer is the successor to Coach K and does not possess an inkling of championship experience, yet. If anything, we will see Scheyer back for one more rotten season and try to work the system in a new day and age of basketball.
Top Duke recruits are not always the end all, be alls of its collegiate sport.

UConn Advances to the Final Four
Braylon Mullins knocked down the game-winning shot to advance UConn to the Final Four. An unbelievable game from top to finish. The Huskies came back from 19 points down to win and knock in a shot, almost similar to Christian Laettner. What is also intriguing that UConn has a chance to repeat history with the 1970’s UCLA Bruins to win 3 of 4 National championships back to Connecticut!

Golden State Warriors Fight
The Golden State Warriors tried to prevent another catastrophic hurdle from happening last night and that was Moses Moody. The injury was described as if he had ‘buckled’ his knee.
Poor Golden State..
The Warriors also lost Jimmy Butler to a torn ACL and did not stunt what Lindsey Vonn tried to accomplish at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Coach Steve Kerr touted how Moody was progressing until injuring his knee.
This article would not be the same if Jonathan Kuminga was not mentioned. Kuminga is averaging 13 points per game and .601 eFG% meaning the Atlanta Hawks are entrusting in the former GSW to hit 3’s.
The lesson out of today’s article is Warriors fight. No matter what has happened, three core OG’s still stand. Draymond Green, Steve Kerr, and Stephen Curry and they have not stopped fighting from Day 1 and continue to stockpile wins from time to time. Let’s raise our glass to Moody for ambition, resilience and relentlessness.
Note: The Golden State Warriors currently rank 10th in the Play-in Tournament.

Where Do the Philadelphia 76ers Stand
The Philadelphia 76ers stand as tall leaders of the city and proudly so. There have been no repercussions until the recent 25-game suspension of Paul George. While this is despicable, 76ers fans must take a step back and learn from the credibility of mental health. George took an improper medication, therefore, releasing an apologetic statement.
George was the second leader in 3’s per game, as well as, three-point average. What will be critical down the stretch is George’s lack of shooting in the lineup, as Kelly Oubre is only the type of finisher and defender on both ends of the court. The Sixers were set to face George’s homecoming city, Los Angeles until this happened.
This will be remembered not only because of its impact but due to the fact that the Sixers create enough cash flow for the luxury tax and a cast player to be traded. George will lose $11.74 million because of the detrimental, misunderstood revelation to the city and fans.
First time, Joel Embiid speaks out in many years expressing potential for the team, George goes down. A banking statement for the team would be to add a player that can fit into the ideal culture of Philadelphia such as George.
The national media may think this is a measly deal but George and the Sixers are somewhat a big component to the breathing fresh air of Brotherly Love. He was starting to come into his own until the horrified angst occurred.
George missed much action with the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Clippers and was not going to allow the keys to drop, again. Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecomb cannot comprehend probably what is fainting in their own eyes for a short amount of time.
Embiid, though, has a positive remark to say about others all the time and when he speaks, it is a genuine feeling to believe and get behind. Embiid dealt with his own demons in the offseason.
The clock has changed to January 31, 2026 where the 76ers stand tall, today, as victims of the painful system. If they decide to win, the Sixers will do it. If the 76ers want to settle back, they will learn the hard way when jumps of dopamine have led to the downfall of this squad.
