On March 31, the Lakers defeated the Cavs to secure LeBron his record-breaking 1,229th win. In that same game, Luka passed 15,000 points, Rui 5,000 points, and Redick reached 100 wins as a HC.
Lakers GM Rob Pelinka gave the game ball to Redick over anybody else, and LeBron felt Pelinka's priority was "yet another example of the Lakers taking him for granted"

A father shows up to attend his child’s graduation ceremony, but the child’s mother quickly approaches him and demands that he leave the area.
Several people attempt to de-escalate the confrontation and keep things under control, but she continues aggressively moving toward him.
The situation eventually escalates to the point where officers with the Chicago Police Department intervene and place her under arrest.
@HavocFreestyle No one is asking this ugly bitch for her number. It's simple keep your hands to your self. It is one of the first lessons parents all over the world have taught their kids forever. But now you learned that lesson
In Year 23, LeBron still did the unimaginable, competing at an elite level and leading the Lakers into the playoffs more than two decades after entering the NBA.
At 41 years old, he continued to break records even with nothing left to prove.
We are forever grateful 👑♾️❤️
Jalen Brunson is the King of New York 👑
He is without a doubt the best Knick since Patrick Ewing.
While Carmelo Anthony brought excitement back to the Garden, Brunson has delivered the postseason success that New York has craved for decades.
With 28 playoff wins now under his belt, Jalen has far surpassed Melo’s winning total in a Knicks uniform 👀
Brunson has proven he is the rightful heir to the throne in the world's most famous arena.
The Garden hasn’t felt this electric since the '90s, and it’s all because number 11 is at the helm 🍿
@statmuse He's third in all the big stuff he's 1st in steals and 2nd in blocks. I think he's going to have an all-star career hopefully he'll help bring one home to Philly baby !!!!
Kendrick Perkins says LeBron James has had the most pressure over any athlete in sports history:
“There’s no other athlete in the history of sports that’s been under the amount of pressure like LeBron James since the age of 16. Not one other athlete was on the cover of sports illustrated labeled as the chosen one. Not one other athlete came to the league with the expectations of Michael Jordan and has exceeded expectations. He was set up to fail…. When it comes down to longevity and pressure, there’s no other athlete ever in sports that was under that amount of pressure. This is why he’s the GOAT!”

bought food and didn't get anything for her partner's son. Some say it's not her responsibility, while others feel it's about consideration. Who's right in this situation? 😡😲😭
Nobody even knew about Ajay Mitchell a year ago.
With how good the Thunder have been in the postseason, you forget that their second-best player hasn't even played the last three games.
Mitchell is a huge reason for that.
When Jalen Williams went down in Game 2 of the first round, Mitchell was inserted into the starting lineup.
Safe to say he's made the most of his opportunity.
Take a look at his numbers after JDub's injury:
➡️ 18.3 PTS
➡️ 4.0 REBS
➡️ 4.0 ASTS
➡️ 3-0 W-L RECORD
Last year, Mitchell appeared in just 12 playoff games in OKC's championship run as a 12TH man.
Today, he's the secret sauce to OKC's playoff success. 💯
