Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is currently in the midst of his 22nd NBA season, establishing himself as the oldest active player in the league. Throughout his illustrious career, he has played a significant role in mentoring numerous young athletes on the court.

The Lakers made a noteworthy move by selecting Dalton Knecht with the 17th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Knecht has had invaluable opportunities to compete alongside stars such as James and Anthony Davis. However, he emphasizes that he garnered his most valuable insights from former Lakers teammate D’Angelo Russell.

“I’d say D’Lo [Russell], he gave me the best advice right after a game. Just move on, don’t care about how you did…because you got a next game coming towards you. No matter how high or how low that game was, you gotta move and be ready to play the next one and get better.” Knecht said.

On February 6, 2025, the Lakers completed a trade that would send Knecht and Cam Reddish to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Mark Williams. However, the transaction was later canceled after Williams failed his physical examination with the Lakers.

LeBron James Discussed His Relationship With Stephen Curry

James and Curry once had a significant rivalry, but over time, they became very good friends. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, they played together and helped the Team USA men’s basketball team win the gold medal. In a recent interview with ESPN, James discussed his relationship with Curry. He explained the reasons behind their previous animosity during their rivalry.

“I mean, s—, when you’re in a dogfight and there’s one guy that’s trying to stop you from reaching your goals, you’re going to dislike that person. He disliked me, I disliked him because we were both fighting for what the f— we wanted, and that’s the Larry O’Brien Trophy,” James said.

The electrifying connection between James and Curry at the Paris Olympics has ignited a wave of excitement among NBA fans. Many analysts and supporters are buzzing with the possibility of them teaming up on the same NBA roster before they hang up their sneakers. However, as of now, this dream combination has yet to come to fruition.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
