NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and other Clippers say they are used to taunts and booing from Lakers fans, who are “like a religion” in Tinseltown.

LeBron James made headlines with his remarks Monday about China, Hong Kong and a pro-Hong Kong tweet, some would say for all the wrong reasons.

While the Lakers wait for an update on Anthony Davis’ thumb, LeBron James and Draymond Green will join him in sitting out the Lakers-Warriors game.

Rivers used a scrimmage-heavy plan to help the Celtics build cohesiveness on the way to the 2008 title. He hopes the same can work for the Clippers.

Kawhi Leonard made his preseason debut with the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night, and the team can’t wait for more.

Donald Trump said it was ”pretty sad” to see coaches Gregg Popovich, Steve Kerr and others “pandering to China” while being critical of U.S.

Davis had 22 points and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes, while showing instant chemistry with his new Lakers teammates in a 123-101 win over the Warriors.

LeBron James has four teammates who have won championships, and the Lakers hope they establish a culture of winning that leads to another.

The Lakers will rely on LeBron James for ball-handling duties this season. But LeBron stressed “it doesn’t matter” when he fulfills that role.
