41-year-old LeBron James is now the oldest player in NBA history to record 3 straight 20-point double-doubles, passing 40-year-old LeBron James.

LeBron finally gets his triple-double on a missed Tyus Jones 3 with two minutes let, and there was much rejoicing. Lakers, leading by 21, bring in the mop-up team at next whistle. Drive safe everyone.
Please just get a rebound already LeBron this is turning into the Nurkic game.

Game isn't quite "over," but most of the remaining drama here centers on whether LeBron James can get two more rebounds for the triple-double. At 26-8-12 rn.

Halftime: Late Dallas run cuts Lakers edge to 64-63. Lebron with 18 points and 8 assists for L.A. Naji Marshall's 16 points lead the way for the Mavs.

14-point half for Rui Hachimura. Needs just 10 reb and 10 ast for a triple-double.

LeBron with a paean to Jay Huff by trying to turn an alleyoop into a backward layup while still going toward the rim, but sadly couldn't quite convert it. About the first thing he's done wrong tonight.

This Dallas roster without Flagg rn really is quite an amazing collection of Some Dudes
First week after the deadline is always so weird.
Tyus Jones-Marvin Bagley pick-and-roll with Khris Middleton on the wing. Ummmmm, I'm sorry, which team am I watching?

Marvin Bagley checks in and quickly gets a dunk. At long last, the Mavs finally have something to show for the 2018 draft.

LeBron James scored or assisted on all 14 Lakers points in the first 3:31, did a satisfied little strut after his last pull-up 3. I remember doing similar things when I was 41.

Last stop on my scenic route from ATL to All-Star weekend - here at the Crypt for Lakers-Mavs. No Luka, no Flagg, sadly.

It's nice but there are a lot of nice mid-size airports. Big hubs, not so much.

Bizarre that league waited this long to replace Giannis. Spurs were in SF last night and entire team flew back to San Antonio right after the game except the ASG participants. Hope D Fox needs the Skymiles to make platinum.

SFO is a proper airport. Might be the one megahub I prefer to ATL.

Good selection! Think Young is really close to finding a place in the league.

Hoping it will be Kyle Teel (who also went to Virginia!) but for now it's probably 1965 AL ROY Curt Blefary.
Who's the most famous alum of your high school?
