迈克·布朗揭露了詹姆斯·哈登在休斯顿火箭队时期的弱点 在第一场比赛的赛后会议上，迈克·布朗解释了勇士队在季后赛与休斯顿队的比赛中如何试图耗尽詹姆斯·哈登的双腿。 “当我在金州勇士队对阵休斯敦队时，我们统计了詹姆斯·哈登的运球次数。我们告诉我们的球员，他每场比赛运球次数接近 1000 次，”布朗说道。 他补充道，“继续全场防守他，让他运球。比赛结束时，这会让他疲惫不堪。” 问题的关键不仅仅在于哈登在火箭队的旧用。布朗正在解释为什么当一个高产量的创造者必须携带控球权、防守重复的动作并承受比赛后期的压力时，疲劳很重要。 金州勇士队对阵休斯顿的计划是建立在消耗的基础上的。哈登仍然可以得分，但每次控球都迫使他在到达自己喜欢的位置之前花费更多的精力。布朗看到同样的想法在第一场比赛中再次发挥作用。 资料来源：[https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/mike-brown-admits-exusing-james-100000615.html](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/mike-brown-admits-exusing-james-100000615.html)

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7242131/2026/05/18/detroit-pistons-nba-playoffs-2026-offseason-future/ 现在焦点转移到休赛期，底特律需要做出决定——最重要的是，在杰伦·杜伦和活塞队无法在赛季前就新秀续约达成一致后，如何处理他的受限制自由球员。杜伦在经历了职业生涯的一年后，在季后赛中表现严重不佳。 季后赛中他场均仅得到10.2分和8.5个篮板，命中率为51.4%，与他第一次入选全明星时的19.5分和10.5个篮板和65%的命中率相去甚远。 杜伦在整个常规赛中显然是活塞队的第二得分选择，但在季后赛中他看起来就像是一个空壳，首先被小温德尔·卡特和贾勒特·艾伦击败。比克斯塔夫偶尔会向保罗·里德寻求增援，甚至在整个第四节和加时赛中让杜伦替补上场[在第五场比赛](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7277856/2026/05/13/cavaliers-pistons-game-5-nba-playoffs/)。 虽然他的第二次季后赛经历无疑令人失望，但底特律将在这个休赛期努力留住这位费城人，只是速度低于预期。杜伦可以入选NBA最佳阵容，这将使他有资格获得一份为期五年的顶薪合同，价值相当于工资帽的30%。考虑到他在季后赛的表现，联盟普遍认为他几乎没有任何筹码来谈判顶薪。

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7290616/2026/05/19/victor-wembanyama-spurs-thunder-game-1/ --- 首先，开始。似乎没有人在谈论这一点，但比赛开始两分钟后，令人惊奇的事情发生了：雷霆将亚历克斯·卡鲁索送上得分手台，取代以赛亚·哈滕斯坦。如果你还记得的话，哈滕斯坦是雷霆队在 2024 年夏天收购的关键自由球员，这使得他们成为 NBA 冠军。根据我的衡量标准，他是一名身价 3200 万美元的球员，被评为联盟前 15 名中锋之一。 --- 在对阵温班亚马的比赛中，该系列赛第一场比赛开始两分钟后，64胜的卫冕冠军雷霆队意识到他们的一名精英球员无法上场。哈滕施泰因可以做很多事情，但他无法拉开球场空间，而且——正如明尼苏达森林狼队和波特兰开拓者队已经发现的那样——这对于一个与温巴尼亚马比赛的大个子来说基本上是致命的，因为温巴尼亚马只会坐在油漆区，独自摧毁整个进攻。 周一晚上他们花了两分钟，但雷霆甚至在比赛开始之前就知道情况可能就是这样。 “我认为很明显，这就是我们的计划，”俄克拉荷马城教练马克·戴尼奥特说，“就是让（哈滕施泰因）很快陷入困境，让卡鲁索上场。我们有点预先确定了这一点。我不知道我能多快做到这一点。” --- 在剩下的比赛中，哈滕施泰因在对阵温巴尼亚马的进攻中没有上场一秒钟。雷霆队只在替补中锋卢克·科内特上场时才让他上场——当晚剩下的时间一共上场了 10 分钟——因为这是唯一能让哈滕施泰因成为一名正常中锋的时间。雷霆队在下半场开始时由卡森华莱士代替哈滕施泰因，人们想象他们也会以这种方式开始第二场比赛。 --- 根据 NBA.com 的数据，马刺队的进攻篮板率为 36.8%，而雷霆队的进攻篮板率仅为 21%。

​ 两轮过后，谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大和俄克拉荷马城雷霆队似乎有望轻松重返 NBA 总决赛。 相反，在连续横扫菲尼克斯太阳队和洛杉矶湖人队之后，雷霆队在周一晚上以 122-115 输给了圣安东尼奥马刺队，在西部决赛第一场比赛中落败。 本周连续第二次获得 MVP 的吉尔吉斯-亚历山大度过了一个悲惨的夜晚，在这场失利中，他 23 投 7 中得到 24 分。他糟糕的表现揭示了一个令人惊讶的统计数据。 《NBA 世界》比较谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大、卢卡·东契奇 吉尔吉斯-亚历山大本赛季季后赛场均贡献28.6分、7.7次助攻和3.0个篮板，但和上赛季一样，他在三分线外表现不佳（命中率31.6%），尽管雷霆在季后赛九场比赛中赢了八场，但他还是度过了几个艰难的夜晚。 根据 Underdog Sports 的报道，“谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大在今年的季后赛中的净得分为 -35.6”，这是“仍在季后赛中的所有合格球员中的最低分数”。 NBA 世界接受了这一信息并进行传播，一些人将吉尔吉斯-亚历山大与湖人队球星卢卡·东契奇的另一位 MVP 候选人进行了比较。 来源：https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/luka-don-never-fake-mvp-202823165.html

我们都知道温比和切特互相憎恨。除了常规赛结束时的盖帽外，切特在今晚对阵温比的第一场比赛中再次消失，拿下8分、7个篮板和2个盖帽。 每当他们比赛时，温比就真正统治了他，他拿下 41 分 22 个篮板的惊人两双。 [https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/\_/gameId/401873197](https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401873197)

贾森·基德 (Jason Kidd) 在达拉斯小牛队执教五个赛季后，不再担任主教练，周二晚间，球队称这是共同决定。 消息人士告诉 ESPN，基德的合同还剩四年，价值超过 4000 万美元。但小牛队州长帕特里克·杜蒙特在拒绝纽约尼克斯队采访基德的请求后，在 2024 年达拉斯总决赛期间和上个赛季之前再次延长了基德的合同，并授予新总裁马赛·乌杰里完全授权来决定教练在球队的未来。 乌杰里在一份声明中表示：“当我们评估篮球计划的未来时，我们相信现在是为我们球队制定新方向的最佳时机。” “我们对这支球队抱有很高的期望，并有责任建立一个能够持续争夺冠军的篮球组织。 “我们将对我们的下一任主教练进行彻底、严格的搜寻，并继续评估我们整个篮球运营人员，以确保我们按照小牛球迷期望和应得的标准进行竞争。” 消息人士称，在总经理尼科·哈里森(Nico Harrison)去年11月被解雇后，基德曾表示希望晋升为篮球运营总裁，但杜蒙特几个月前告诉基德，他不会被考虑担任管理层。 消息人士称，在乌吉里被聘用的过程中，基德被排除在外。 资料来源：[https://www.espn.com/nba/story/\_/id/48820152/jason-kidd-mavericks-coach- Five-seasons](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48820152/jason-kidd-mavericks-coach- Five-seasons)

Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade shared an interesting take on Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James as he navigates the next steps in his basketball career. James is 41 years old and has played 23 seasons in the NBA, and he’s yet to officially announce whether or not he’ll return for the 2026-27 season. Wade explained that it may be harder for the four-time champion to step away from the game of basketball because he’s still a really good player. “It has to suck a little bit to get to this point in your career and still be really good,” Wade said. “… It’s hard to make that decision when you still really f—— good. Who walks away when they’re really, really good? Only a few. It ain’t a lot of Barry Sanders who just walk away when they really good. “And you’re talking about a guy who’s been doing this his entire life. This is what he knows better than anyone since he’s been playing this game, right? He’s become this generation’s G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time), and so, how do you walk away from being a G.O.A.T. when you still a G.O.A.T.?” James clearly is still one of the better players in the NBA, and he proved that by making an All-Star team and leading the Lakers to a playoff series win in the 2025-26 season. During the regular season, James averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from 3. Even though he took on a smaller role in the Lakers’ offense when Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves were both healthy, James was still a winning player, helping the team secure the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference. After Doncic and Reaves both were injured toward the end of the regular season, James was forced to revert to a No. 1 role in the playoffs, especially in the first round against the Houston Rockets. James led the Lakers to a 3-0 series lead in that matchup, and the Lakers eventually won the series in six games. Reaves returned in Game 5 of the Houston series, but James was the driving force for Los Angeles through its playoff run. Doncic never returned. James finished the postseason averaging 23.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game across 10 appearances. It’s possible that James will want to return for at least one more season to chase another championship ring, and he also may want to see just how long he can play at an elite level. There are still teams interested in him, as it was reported that virtually “every contender” has checked in on James with an eye on his future. Hopefully, the four-time MVP will keep playing next season, as it’s hard to imagine the NBA without him. James was picked No. 1 overall in the 2003 NBA Draft, and he’s been a staple in the league ever since.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a major offseason ahead of them, as they are positioned to build around Luka Doncic, even though several of their key players are set to become free agents. Austin Reaves (player option), Rui Hachimura, LeBron James, Jaxson Hayes, Luke Kennard, Marcus Smart (player option) and Deandre Ayton (player option) could all be unrestricted free agents this offseason, which could have a major impact for Los Angeles. On one hand, the Lakers have the ability to open up some cap space to improve their roster. However, they also are at risk of losing some of their most important rotation players, something Los Angeles can’t exactly afford after coming up short in the second round of the playoffs against the Oklahoma City Thunder. While the Lakers should have cap space to chase some additions, one Western Conference executive believes that the team will be “shut out” on restricted free agents, according to Heavy.com’s Sean Deveney. Players like Walker Kessler (Utah Jazz), Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) and Peyton Watson (Denver Nuggets) are all set to be restricted free agents in the offseason and could potentially help the Lakers. But with restricted free agency, the Jazz, Pistons and Nuggets will have chances to match any offer sheets that their players sign, as long as they extend them qualifying offers. “Walker Kessler of the Jazz is a player the Lakers were poised to make an offer on, one that would force Utah to match, something in the $30 million range,” Deveney wrote. “But there are indications the Jazz won’t be outbid for Kessler (within reason) and that the Lakers would not go that high on him, anyway. “The same could be said for Jalen Duren in Detroit. It’s true that Duren has had a miserable postseason, and that his status as a max player is in peril. But around the league, the consensus is that the Pistons intend to match offers for him. Even if they don’t go to the max with him themselves, the Pistons still plan to negotiate with Duren directly. “The Nuggets‘ Peyton Watson is another restricted free agency target for L.A., and probably the most realistic of the three. As good as Watson was in his breakout fourth season–14.6 points, 41.1% 3-point shooting–the Lakers are wary of committing $22-$25 million per year for Watson based on one injury-shortened year. “The chance goes up if James retires, but the Lakers’ focus is still expected to be at center.” Los Angeles certainly has a long offseason ahead, but bringing in more quality pieces around Doncic should be priority No. 1 for the franchise as it looks towards the future. James may also decide to return to L.A., but since he is 41 years old, the Lakers would be smart to prioritize Doncic as their main building block going forward.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason if he decides to continue his NBA career. The 41-year-old has not announced if he’s coming back for a 24th NBA season, but ESPN’s Shams Charania provided some insight into James’ future, revealing that virtually “every contender” has reached out about the veteran. "I do know a lot of teams are calling LeBron James and his camp.. The expectation is that he's going to play another season and we will see if it's going to be with the Lakers" ~ @ShamsCharania #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/BSkPNAGOa8 — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) May 18, 2026 “I do know a lot of teams are calling him and his camp,” Charania said of James. “I spoke to Rich Paul the other day at the Chicago Draft Combine last week, and he told me like every contender in the NBA has essentially, since the season ended, placed a call. So, that line is gonna continue to be open. But listen, LeBron, all indications throughout the season have been that he’s gonna play another year. We’ll see if that remains to be true. He’s gotta take that time. We’ve never seen this.” Charania continued. “I think the expectation has been that probably you’re gonna get one more, and we’ll see if it’s gonna be with the Lakers or somewhere else,” he said. “But listen, being in L.A., having that comfortability, and the Lakers want him, I think all those factors do play a part.” The Lakers have a lot of decisions to make in the offseason as they look to build a contender around Luka Doncic, but it’s hard to argue that there are many better options than James that will be available. In the 2025-26 season, the four-time champion made yet another All-Star Game, and he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from 3. With Doncic and Austin Reaves sidelined to begin the playoffs, James led the Lakers to a 3-0 series lead against the Houston Rockets and eventually took them to the second round before they were swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Reaves didn’t return until Game 5 against Houston (and Doncic never returned), yet James was able to do enough to keep the Lakers’ season alive. During the playoff run for L.A. (10 games), James ended up averaging 23.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game. So, it makes sense that other teams that are contending for a title would want the superstar going into next season. James has been to the NBA Finals 10 times in his career, winning titles with the Miami Heat (twice), Cleveland Cavaliers and Lakers. He led L.A. to a title in the 2019-20 season during the COVID-19 pandemic and was named the Finals MVP. If James does decide to return to the NBA, it appears the Lakers are interested in him returning to the team.

Los Angeles Lakers big man Jaxson Hayes is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but that doesn’t mean that he’ll be leaving Los Angeles. “Hayes wants to return to the Lakers, but if he gets a significant offer—with more playing time—he would have to take it,” Heavy.com’s Sean Deveney wrote. Hayes has been a staple in the Lakers’ rotation the last few years, appearing in 70 games in the 2023-24 season, 56 games (35 starts) in the 2024-25 season and 66 games in the 2025-26 season. In the 2025-26 campaign, Hayes started just nine games, but he did play 18.3 minutes per game for Los Angeles. The center averaged 7.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game while shooting 75.6 percent from the field. Hayes is a solid lob threat and rim runner for the Lakers down low, and it would make sense for Los Angeles to bring him back at a reasonable number given the team’s lack of depth at center. Deandre Ayton has a player option for the 2026-27 season with Los Angeles, but the former No. 1 overall pick didn’t exactly turn heads with his play this season, especially in the team’s playoff run. Hayes appeared in all 10 of the Lakers’ postseason games in the 2025-26 season, averaging 16.3 minutes, 5.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. The Lakers have a big offseason ahead as they look to improve their roster around Luka Doncic. Austin Reaves (player option) can opt out of his current deal while LeBron James is set to become an unrestricted free agent. So, Hayes is one of many players that Los Angeles has to make a decision on for the 2026-27 season and beyond. A lottery pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Hayes has mainly been a bench player in his career, starting just 96 of the 433 regular-season games that he’s appeared in. Still, he is a younger player (25 years old) that could be a long-term rotation piece for the Lakers if they decide to bring him back for a fourth season. Since Hayes hasn’t exactly put up numbers that make him worthy of a starting spot on a playoff-caliber team, it’s hard to imagine a team going above and beyond to outbid the Lakers for the center’s services this offseason.

The Los Angeles Lakers have an important offseason ahead of them, and they could be potential suitors for Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo if he’s traded. The Athletic recently conducted an anonymous player poll and received 151 votes on where Antetokounmpo will start the 2026-27 season. Out of the 151 player votes, five respondents chose the Lakers. The Lakers finished fourth in the poll, as the Bucks, Miami Heat and New York Knicks each received more votes when it came to the Antetokounmpo question. Regardless, it’s interesting that a handful of players around the league see the Lakers as the 31-year-old’s next destination. For Los Angeles to land Antetokounmpo, it would likely have to part ways with many – if not all – of the assets it has left to pair him with star guard Luka Doncic. The Lakers may be looking to upgrade their roster after losing in the second round of the playoffs, but it’s worth noting that Doncic did not play in any of L.A.’s postseason games in 2026. While Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA when he is healthy, the Bucks star played in just 36 games during the 2025-26 season due to various injuries. He still put up some impressive numbers, averaging 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game while shooting 62.4 percent from the field. But if the Lakers are going to sacrifice a package that would bring Antetokounmpo to Los Angeles, they’ll certainly need him on the floor for more than just 36 games. The Lakers finished with the No. 4 seed in the West in the 2025-26 season, and they’ll have a lot of competition for a high seed next season, especially with the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs (both in the Western Conference Finals this season) sporting impressive young cores. Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam recently said that he would like to have clarity on Antetokounmpo’s future ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft. This summer, the draft will begin on June 23. It’ll be interesting to see if the Lakers make a push for Antetokounmpo or if they focus their priorities elsewhere in the offseason.

前 NBA 后卫杰夫·蒂格对洛杉矶湖人队主教练 J.J. 给予了高度赞扬。雷迪克在季后赛中对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队球星谢伊·吉尔杰斯·亚历山大时使用的防守策略。 尽管湖人队在西部半决赛中被雷霆队横扫，但圣安东尼奥马刺队似乎从雷迪克的计划中吸取了一些东西，并在周一晚上的西部决赛第一场比赛中应用了它们。 马刺队在第一场比赛的两个加时赛中击败了雷霆队，吉尔杰斯-亚历山大23投7中仅得到24分。 “他是一位非凡的教练，”蒂格在谈到马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊时说道。 “他可能会成为未来的年度最佳教练。他会赢得很多这样的奖项。但不，他是一位非凡的教练。 “然后，显然，湖人队——向 J.J. 致敬。雷迪克。 J.J.是一位好教练。人们正在采用他关于如何阻止 SGA 的蓝图并应用它。伟大的教练会向其他教练学习。但要向 J.J. 大声喊叫。雷迪克。他改变了雷霆队防守的整个方式。 “这可能会损害雷霆队的前进以及他们成为王朝的整个轨迹。他们赢得了总冠军，但这种防守他的方式可能会搞砸一切。” 吉尔杰斯-亚历山大在分区半决赛对阵湖人队的前三场比赛中得分都在25分以下，然后在第四场比赛中爆发出35分完成横扫。虽然湖人队在那轮系列赛中人手不足，但他们确实找到了一种方法来减缓这位两届 MVP 的速度，因为他的场均得分低于他的赛季平均得分。 现在，马刺队似乎也采用了类似的策略，对这位明星后卫进行包夹，同时阻止他向油漆区的多次突破。圣安东尼奥马刺队还受益于新星维克托·温班亚马（Victor Wembanyama）保护篮筐，这是湖人队和雷迪克所没有的。 很高兴看到蒂格对雷迪克强大的比赛计划表示赞赏，湖人队主教练帮助球队在 2025-26 赛季进入季后赛第二轮也值得一些爱。 自从雷迪克接手以来，洛杉矶已经连续两个赛季进入季后赛，这个休赛期对湖人队来说至关重要，因为他们试图围绕球队基石卢卡东契奇为他打造一个真正的冠军争夺者。 杰夫·蒂格 (Jeff Teague) 的帖子说，J.J.雷迪克可能暴露了 SGA 并搞乱了雷霆队的未来，这首先出现在《湖人日报》上。

虽然洛杉矶湖人队在休赛期需要做出很多决定，因为他们希望升级阵容，但一位西部联盟高管认为扬尼斯·阿德托昆博对于洛杉矶目前的时间表没有多大意义。 阿德托昆博是这个休赛期的潜在交易候选人，因为他即将进入合同的最后一个赛季，然后才能选择退出（他拥有 2027-28 赛季的球员选项）。在未能进入 2025-26 赛季东部附加赛之后，雄鹿队可能会从两届 MVP 中脱颖而出。 一些传言将湖人队与字母哥联系起来，但上述高管认为这个想法有问题。 据 Heavy.com 的肖恩·德维尼 (Sean Deveney) 报道，这位高管表示：“卢卡·东契奇今年 27 岁，他刚刚满 27 岁。” “奥斯汀·里维斯已经 27 岁了。这就是他们正在寻找的人，一个处于巅峰期、能够与这两个人一起成长的人。你会感觉到他们厌倦了不断地轮换阵容，他们正在寻找合适的角色球员来强调这些人。那不是扬尼斯，他才 30 岁出头（12 月他就满 32 岁了），只是不在那个时间表上。” 尽管字母哥比东契奇和里维斯年长，但他仍然可以在不久的将来加速湖人夺冠的机会。作为两届 MVP 和一次总决赛 MVP 的字母哥，健康时是 NBA 最好的球员之一，而且由于他出色的终结能力，他将成为东契奇的一个有趣的搭档。 然而，这位高管似乎预计湖人队在休赛期建立阵容时会走向不同的方向。 2025-26赛季，字母哥由于各种伤病只打了36场比赛。他仍然打出了一些强劲的数据，场均贡献27.6分、9.8个篮板和5.4次助攻，投篮命中率为62.4%。不幸的是，对于雄鹿来说，他们并没有接近竞争。 湖人队有很多球员可以在休赛期成为非限制性自由球员，这应该让他们有机会围绕东契奇重塑球队。 奥斯汀·里维斯（球员选项）、马库斯·斯马特（球员选项）、德安德烈·艾顿（球员选项）、八村塁、勒布朗·詹姆斯、贾克森·海耶斯和卢克·肯纳德都可能在这个休赛期成为不受限制的自由球员，而罗布·佩林卡和他的公司必须决定他们认为哪些球员适合东契奇长期工作。 其中一些球员有可能回到湖人队，但洛杉矶队没有一位处于巅峰期的年轻球星（除了里维斯）能够真正与东契奇搭档。这意味着湖人队需要探索自由球员或交易市场，以在休赛期引进该球员。 尽管一些 NBA 球员认为字母哥最终会在这个休赛期前往洛杉矶，但湖人队可能会为他们的阵容探索各种其他可能性。 这位NBA后高管对扬尼斯-湖人队的传闻投下了真相炸弹，首先出现在《湖人日报》上。

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and there could be several teams bidding for his services. In fact, it was recently reported that virtually “every contender” has reached out about the four-time champion with an eye on his future. However, if James does return for a 24th NBA season, he is not expected to take a veteran minimum deal. “Last Tuesday…I said that there were many people around the league who thought that LeBron should take a veteran minimum salary,” NBA insider Jake Fischer said. “It does not sound like that is actually in the cards at all. I wanna be very, very clear about that after some text messages and phone calls I received.” It makes sense that James wouldn’t want to take a minimum deal since he was an All-Star in the 2025-26 season and is still one of the league’s most productive players. However, that could limit the number of teams that could truly pursue him in the offseason without the help of a sign-and-trade. If James is looking to make a similar salary to what he made in the 2025-26 season and remain in contention, he will likely need to return to the Lakers – if they’re willing to take him at that number – or find a team that is willing to do a sign-and-trade with Los Angeles. The 41-year-old averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from 3 during the 2025-26 regular season, showing that he can still produce at an All-Star level. James helped the Lakers earn the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference, and he carved out a nice role as the No. 3 option alongside Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves when all three were healthy. Then, with both of those guards injured to start the playoffs, James led the Lakers to a 3-0 series lead against the Houston Rockets. Los Angeles ended up taking that series in six games, but it was swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round. Doncic did not play in the postseason, but Reaves returned for the final six games of L.A.’s playoff run. James finished the postseason averaging 23.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per contest across 10 games. The four-time league MVP is going to have a serious market in the offseason (if he decides to keep playing) because he’s still an elite talent, but it’ll be interesting to see how much teams are willing to pay for him in his 24th NBA season.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson shared an honest take on social media about the Western Conference following Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder. “I hate to break the news to the rest of the Western Conference, but they may not have a chance to win the Western Conference Finals for the next 5-7 years,” Johnson wrote on X. “The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs are just that good! They are talented, deep, athletic and both teams are well coached.” The Thunder and Spurs played an extremely close Game 1 on Monday, with San Antonio winning in double overtime. It’s pretty clear that the two teams – who each won over 60 games in the regular season – are well ahead of the rest of the competition in the West, if not the entire NBA. That’s bad news for the Lakers, as they likely will have to go through one – if not both – of these teams in the future to reach an NBA Finals. Even though the Lakers have a new cornerstone in Luka Doncic to lead their franchise for the foreseeable future, the Thunder and Spurs are loaded with young star talent. OKC swept the Lakers in the second round of the playoffs this season (Doncic did miss the series with a hamstring injury), and it had not lost a playoff game in 2026 until Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Meanwhile, the Spurs have rising stars like Victor Wembanyama (third season in the NBA), Stephon Castle (second season in the NBA) and Dylan Harper (a rookie). All three players were awesome in Game 1 on Monday, with Wembanyama (41 points and 24 rebounds) leading the way. That’s without even mentioning 28-year-old All-Star De’Aaron Fox, who missed Game 1. The Spurs and Thunder are both set up to contend for titles for years to come, and Oklahoma City already won the 2025 NBA Finals with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams leading the way. All three of those players are locked into long-term deals with the Thunder. The bar for the Lakers to clear in the West is extremely high, but they do have a chance to improve their roster this offseason. They are set to have several unrestricted free agents, including LeBron James, which could help them open up cap space to add to the team. Plus, Los Angeles was the No. 4 seed in the West and won a playoff series in the 2025-26 campaign even though Doncic missed the entire playoff run. Johnson may be worried about other teams in the West competing, but as long as Doncic is healthy, the Lakers have one of the best players in the league to go and challenge the Spurs and Thunder.

俄克拉荷马城雷霆队可能在 2026 年 NBA 季后赛第二轮横扫洛杉矶湖人队，但湖人队并没有让雷霆队球星谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大的日子变得特别轻松。 现在，吉尔吉斯-亚历山大和雷霆队正在西部决赛中对阵圣安东尼奥马刺队，在第一场比赛中，马刺队部署了一个比赛计划（可能受到湖人队的启发），迫使联盟MVP度过了一个非常糟糕的投篮之夜。 这导致前 NBA 后卫杰夫·蒂格周二建议湖人队主教练 J.J.雷迪克可能想出了一个揭露吉尔杰斯-亚历山大的蓝图，而且蒂格似乎并不是唯一有这种感觉的人。 “为卡特·布莱恩特打了 13 分钟而欢呼，”前 NBA 后卫布兰登·詹宁斯说道。 “是的，得分表上看起来不像，但他得分超过10分，然后他捍卫SGA的方式令人惊叹。我认为湖人队为如何对抗SGA制定了蓝图，马刺队过来了，他们只是做到了T。他们肯定有更好的后卫，但这是J.J.雷迪克给我的。这就是我觉得SGA有点暴露的原因。” 吉尔吉斯-亚历山大在第二轮对阵湖人队的比赛中仍然发挥了作用，但雷迪克和他的队友找到了一种方法来在很大程度上限制他。他连续三场比赛得分不超过23分，最终在第四场比赛中得到了更有特色的35分。 雷霆队以最快的速度淘汰了湖人队，但在西部决赛第一场比赛中，他们在双加时的经典比赛中输给了马刺队。吉尔吉斯-亚历山大度过了一个令人难忘的投篮之夜，他23投仅7中。值得赞扬的是，他确实有12次助攻和5次抢断，但这还不足以让雷霆队赢得比赛。 蒂格甚至表示，雷迪克可能为雷霆队的未来（以及王朝轨迹）制造了各种各样的问题，因为他为吉尔吉斯-亚历山大制定了有效的比赛计划。 詹宁斯并没有走那么远，但他和蒂格似乎都同意，雷迪克和湖人队在对抗吉尔杰斯-亚历山大这样致命的球员时表现出创造力，值得赞扬。 雷霆队和马刺队将于周三在系列赛的第二场比赛中继续争夺 NBA 总决赛的争夺战。由于雷霆队在主场输掉了第一场比赛，他们真的可以在第二场比赛中获胜，在系列赛转移到圣安东尼奥之前止血。 随着季后赛的继续，吉尔吉斯-亚历山大将成为任何人都需要关注的关键球员，因为他们想知道这本书是否确实是关于如何防守他的。 布兰登·詹宁斯 (Brandon Jennings) 证实 SGA 正在“曝光”，因为湖人队首先出现在《湖人日报》上。

洛杉矶湖人队在被出售给洛杉矶道奇队老板马克·沃尔特后，正在进入一个新时代。 在过渡过程中，湖人队和道奇队之间出现了一些交叉，这似乎可能会对湖人队后卫奥斯汀·里维斯在 2026 年 NBA 季后赛中产生影响。 据报道，里维斯在 NBA 季后赛期间“与道奇队的医务人员一起进行了部分倾斜康复”。雅虎体育的亚伦·韦茨曼分享了细节，并转述了美国职业棒球大联盟(MLB)高管的一句话。 “支持表演人员似乎是[安德鲁]弗里德曼和[法尔汗]扎伊迪的另一个优先事项，”亚龙写道。 “我们正在与道奇队的一些人员合作，建立一个生物力学实验室，”[罗布]佩林卡告诉记者。在那之前，球员们可能必须习惯与道奇体育场的棒球队一起工作。据两位联盟消息人士透露，这就是湖人队告诉奥斯汀·里夫斯在季后赛期间从斜伤中恢复期间要做的事情。 “不过，对他们的医疗团队的信心并非没有理由。 这位美国职业棒球大联盟的高管表示：“他们以照顾球员并能够充分发挥他们的潜力而闻名。巨额合同显然发挥着重要作用，但安德鲁和他的部门帮助球员充分发挥自己的方式已成为主要的招募工具。” 里维斯在湖人队常规赛接近尾声时遭遇斜伤，这对于一支希望在季后赛中取得进展的球队来说是一个沉重的打击。更糟糕的是，湖人队的后卫卢卡·东契奇同时受伤，这让球队在进入季后赛时陷入了极其棘手的境地。 东契奇未能在季后赛中回归，但里维斯比预期更早回归，并帮助湖人队度过了首轮最后几场比赛以及整个第二轮比赛。他能够这么快回来这一事实可能证明了道奇队工作人员所做的工作。 复出后，里维斯季后赛场均贡献20.0分4.0篮板5.8助攻。湖人队在第二轮击败俄克拉荷马城雷霆队还不够，但考虑到今年的情况，球队表现出色，赢得了季后赛系列赛。 道奇队可能已经成为整个棒球界最重要的球队，如果这能表明湖人队的发展方向，那么紫金队的球迷们就有很多值得兴奋的事情。自 2020 年以来，道奇队已经赢得了三个世界大赛冠军，目前他们正享受着背靠背冠军的连胜，他们希望今年能延续这一势头。 这将是湖人队自出售沃尔特后的第一个休赛期，因此这将是洛杉矶一个令人着迷的夏天。 《湖人日报》首先报道了道奇队在 NBA 季后赛期间帮助奥斯汀·里维斯康复的报道。

圣安东尼奥马刺队拥有一代天才维克多·温班亚马，事实证明他在场内场外都是独一无二的人物。 据 ESPN 报道，温班亚马的经纪人布纳·恩迪亚耶 (Bouna Ndiaye) 意识到他的客户与众不同，因此去年 4 月，他主动联系洛杉矶湖人队高管罗布·佩林卡 (Rob Pelinka) 安排午餐。原因是：恩迪亚耶想与佩林卡谈论湖人队传奇人物科比·布莱恩特。 “他们的思维方式不同，”恩迪亚耶告诉 ESPN。 “他们玩耍的方式，他们伸展自己的方式。只是他们的好奇心。他们如何学习和观察事物。他们在解决问题方面都非常有创造力。” 去年春天，温班亚马试图解决的“问题”是，他想找到一种方法，在篮球场上增强身体素质，同时又不增加体型。 “基本上，他想要进行身体改造，这样他就可以永远奔跑并利用他的身体工具更接近篮筐，”恩迪亚耶说。 “然后他想要接受挑战。” 当恩迪亚耶向佩林卡解释情况时，湖人队高管告诉他，科比在他的 NBA 职业生涯中执行了许多抽象任务（例如前往瓜达卢佩研究鲨鱼）以获得优势。 “我想了解科比是如何做事的，”恩迪亚耶说。 “这样我们就可以向他学习。维克多与其他人不同。我们必须发挥创造力，打造他独有的项目。” 去年，Wembanyama 前往中国少林寺与僧侣进行为期 10 天的闭关，成为头条新闻。 科比可能会采取这种非传统的方法来解决问题，虽然很难将文巴尼亚马目前在 NBA 的成功归因于某一件事，但他似乎按下了正确的按钮，为本赛季做好了准备。 现在，马刺队在客场从俄克拉荷马城雷霆队手中抢走了西部决赛第一场比赛的胜利，而现在，他已经让马刺队距离 NBA 总决赛还差三场胜利。文巴尼亚马在第一场比赛中表现出色，拿下 41 分和 24 个篮板，并在双加时赛中拿下 41 分和 24 个篮板。 这位 22 岁的球员刚刚进入 NBA，但已经证明了他是那种一生中可能只会出现一次的球员。他本赛季正在追逐自己的第一个 NBA 总冠军，但无论圣安东尼奥马刺队的赛季结果如何，很明显，文班亚马对伟大的追求不会很快停止。 当休赛期到来时，球迷们可能想关注这位冉冉升起的天才，看看他如何利用时间为接下来的事情做准备。 《湖人日报》首先报道了“温比经纪人联系罗伯·佩林卡谈论科比”的帖子。

As the Los Angeles Lakers adjust to their new ownership group led by businessman Mark Walter, the organization is undergoing some changes. That could mean more resources are on the way to help the franchise get even with its peers. That would likely be a welcome change for an organization that has been described as thin behind the scenes — something Lakers head coach J.J. Redick reportedly noticed after he was hired. “For years, the Lakers have operated with one of the NBA’s thinnest front offices,” wrote Yaron Weitzman of Yahoo Sports. “A small player performance and medical group. A tiny analytics team. No assistant GMs. Even JJ Redick, after being hired as head coach in June 2024, told a friend he was surprised by how lean the team was behind the scenes.” After the Lakers were eliminated this season, team executive Rob Pelinka had some interesting comments about the franchise’s direction. “It’s a full rebuild and retool,” Pelinka said of the organization’s collaboration with the Los Angeles Dodgers. “It’s adding to the great things that are already here, which have led to success, but elevating it and bringing it to the next level.” Walter, who also owns the Dodgers, has helped that organization become a juggernaut, and if something similar is in the cards for the Lakers, that’s wonderful news for the Purple and Gold. Although Redick might’ve been caught off guard by how thin the Lakers were after he was hired, the coach has done a nice job during his tenure. In his debut season, the Lakers won 50 games and earned the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. They took a quick exit in the first round of the playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves but still had some positives to feel good about from the season. Then, this past season, the Lakers increased their win total to 53 and ended up with the No. 4 seed in the West. Despite major injury blows, the team took care of business in the first round of the playoffs against the Houston Rockets, but it was later swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round. In addition to undergoing an ownership transition, L.A. is in the midst of a roster transition centered around its superstars. For years, star forward LeBron James has been the main building block for the franchise, but after the Lakers were able to acquire star guard Luka Doncic last season, he has become their new centerpiece. The revolving doors have made it an interesting time to follow the organization as it attempts to steady the ship. The hope is that in the near future, the Lakers will be competing for championships again after they last won it all in the 2019-20 season. The post Report: J.J. Redick was surprised how ‘lean’ Lakers were behind scenes appeared first on Lakers Daily.

洛杉矶湖人队球星勒布朗·詹姆斯的未来是 NBA 即将到来的休赛期最大的故事情节之一，但如果他最近的言论有任何迹象的话，球迷们可能需要等待一段时间才能了解他的下一步。 这位 41 岁的人在他的播客中暗示，他的未来可能会在夏末成为人们关注的焦点。 “我认为在某个时候，在六月、六月下旬，随着七月的到来，自由球员市场......开始，随着七月的到来，也许进入八月，我们开始有点感觉到我的未来会是什么样子，”詹姆斯说。 詹姆斯在湖人队度过了过去八个赛季，他将在今年休赛期成为自由球员。看来他今年夏天的选择是退役、回到湖人队或者加盟一支新球队。 这位22次入选全明星的球员是联盟中年龄最大的现役球员，并且是NBA历史上出场时间最多的球员，因此如果他选择离开，没有人会责怪他。然而，随着詹姆斯年复一年地表现出他的能量箱里还有剩余的能量，对他来说继续他的职业生涯并试图最大限度地延长他令人难以置信的寿命是很有意义的。 本赛季，詹姆斯场均贡献20.9分、6.1个篮板和7.2次助攻，投篮命中率为51.5%，三分线外命中率为31.7%。对他来说，这是一个有点不同的赛季，因为当三人都健康时，他必须与其他球星卢卡·东契奇和奥斯汀·里维斯一起扮演独特的角色，但詹姆斯仍然找到了一种高效的方法。 常规赛临近结束时，东契奇和里维斯双双因伤缺席季后赛。里维斯最终在季后赛中回归，但东契奇却没有。这种情况迫使詹姆斯背负着沉重的负担，而他也做到了令人钦佩，季后赛场均得到23.2分，并帮助球队赢得了系列赛。 NBA 中有很多球队可以使用詹姆斯，但由于工资帽的原因，对许多球队来说，获得他可能会很棘手。关于这位退伍军人的未来，还有许多悬而未决的问题，听起来可能需要几个月的时间才能真正明朗。 勒布朗暗示他需要多长时间才能决定自己的未来，这篇文章首先出现在《湖人日报》上。

The Cleveland Cavaliers are often mentioned as a possible landing spot for NBA icon LeBron James if he leaves the Los Angeles Lakers, and his former Cavs teammate Channing Frye wants to see it happen. “Go back to Cleveland,” Frye said when asked where he’d like to see James next season. “Go back to Cleveland. That’s what I wanna see. Go back home, last year, let’s get it done. Cleveland can move on from James Harden, so now they have a ball-handler. They have a guy who can play four different positions. He’ll make ’em tougher, or he’ll call ’em out and get ’em traded, either one. I mean, it’s just facts.” James and Frye played together on the Cavs years ago and even won a title together in the 2015-16 season. Since then, James has added one NBA title to his collection (in 2020 with the Lakers), but the Cavs have yet to reach the same heights. Currently, they are in the Eastern Conference Finals with a chance to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since their James era, but they are in an 0-2 hole in their ongoing series against the New York Knicks. Frye brought up Harden, who has struggled at times in these playoffs with Cleveland. Adding James would give the Cavs a level of playoff experience and leadership that is invaluable to any team. But acquiring the future Hall of Famer may not be an easy task due to cap obstacles, so Cleveland may have to get creative if it wants to truly pursue him this offseason. James is aging but remains a very good NBA player, as evidenced by his 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game this season. He would be a tough piece to replace for the Lakers, who are entering an important offseason. The Cavs may want to prove to themselves that they can get over the championship hump without James — something they’ve never done in their franchise history — but if they fall short again this year after making some significant trades around the deadline, they may have no choice but to consider the idea of bringing the team legend home. Many teams have reportedly already called about James. That could include the Cavs. No matter how the situation unfolds from here, everyone can likely agree that James going home to Cleveland would be a storybook ending to his career.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James spoke about his future during a recent episode of the “Mind the Game” podcast, and he left a lot to the imagination. James said that he doesn’t know what his future holds yet, and he even indicated that it could be months before it comes into focus. But former NBA big man Kendrick Perkins, who played with James years ago, thinks that the future Hall of Famer already has a plan in place. Kendrick Perkins calls out LeBron James for fishing for attention (Via @FirstTake ) pic.twitter.com/83vM1syQoD — NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) May 22, 2026 “We took the bait,” said Perkins. “… He caught the attention that he wanted while his a– is sitting at home. I’ve been knowing Bron all my life. He moves like the president. He already has a plan in place. He know what he’s doing. He know what his next move in. He know what the counter is gonna be. He know where he wanna go, where he wanna be, if he wanna be on the Lakers. He already know that.” This is a pivotal offseason for James, who has options as he considers his next move. He could retire and call it quits on his NBA career after 23 legendary seasons, but it seems more likely that he will return for more and continue his run of incredible longevity. The question then becomes whether he will keep playing with the Lakers or turn the page after eight seasons in L.A. This is one area where James doesn’t have total control. Even though he’s set to hit free agency, there are logistical obstacles that could make it tough for some teams to legitimately pursue him, especially since he doesn’t appear interested in taking the veteran minimum. As such, it may not be as simple as James just picking his destination at will this offseason. But a recent report did detail that virtually “every contender” in the league has called about James, so there is clearly no shortage of interest. No team is likely to build around the 41-year-old at this stage of his career, but he could certainly be a key piece for a team that is trying to get over the championship hump. James has won four NBA titles during his career, and one has to imagine that he’d love nothing more than to get a fifth before walking away from the game. Those are some of the factors that he is going to have to think about this offseason, but if Perkins is right, James has likely already considered all of them.

While Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in NBA history, his career overlapped with those of some other NBA icons. For that reason, Bryant, in the eyes of some, might’ve lacked a time in his career where he was definitively the best player in the world. That’s how sports analyst Nick Wright sees it, but former NBA guard Lou Williams isn’t going to let that claim go unchecked. Lou Williams DISAGREES with Nick Wright saying Kobe Bryant was NEVER the best player in the NBA "He won MVP and then came back and won a championship with guys they said the Lakers couldn't compete with."@MichelleDBeadle | @boogiecousins | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23 pic.twitter.com/5iKBQ5FQOv — Run It Back (@RunItBackFDTV) May 21, 2026 Williams and Bryant were in the NBA at the same time for many years and were even teammates in the 2015-16 season, so Williams got an up-close look at how Bryant operated. Wright explained his viewpoint in detail earlier this month, noting that he sees Bryant as the eighth-greatest player in NBA history even though he was “never the best player in the world.” Nick Wright says he’s got Kobe Bryant as the 8th greatest player ever, and he was never the best player in the world: “I know people get mad at that take, but here’s the problem and the reason Kobe was never the best player in the world. Because once Kobe got great, call it 99,… pic.twitter.com/PKqdOhJR1c — NBA Courtside (@NBA__Courtside) May 8, 2026 It is theoretically possible for an all-time great to never be the No. 1 player in the NBA. Whether or not Bryant fell into that category is up for debate. Bryant had a remarkable five-year run in the middle of his career in which he accomplished something huge each season. Here’s a look at that stretch of his career: 2005-06 season: won scoring title (35.4 points per game) 2006-07 season: won scoring title (31.6 points per game) 2007-08 season: won league MVP 2008-09 season: won NBA title and Finals MVP 2009-10 season: won NBA title and Finals MVP Wright maintains, however, that fellow NBA legends Tim Duncan and LeBron James held the reins at different points during that part of Bryant’s career. This topic, like the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) debate, is something that can’t truly be settled due to its subjective nature. Even today, some will argue over who is currently the best player in the NBA, which demonstrates how the waters get murky at times. But Bryant, with his five NBA titles and countless personal accolades, certainly put together one of the best careers in league history, and his status as one of the top basketball players of all time isn’t in doubt.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has reached a stage of his NBA career where each passing season leads to retirement speculation, and this summer is no different. The veteran just completed his 23rd season in the league and hasn’t announced that he’ll be coming back for more, even though that seems to be the expectation around the NBA world. If James were to return for another season, many have theorized that it would be his last in the league, but James’ former teammate Kendrick Perkins seems to think that the 41-year-old has multiple years left in the tank. “I don’t think LeBron James retire after next year to be honest,” Perkins said. “I think he got two or three more years left in the tank.” James playing three more years would delay his retirement until the summer of 2029, a timeline that would certainly surprise many. But with the way the future Hall of Famer played this season, it’s easy to understand why Perkins thinks James still has lots of basketball left in him. The Lakers star averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from beyond the arc. While that’s remarkable production for any 41-year-old, what makes James’ season even more impressive is that he likely could’ve done more had his role required it. Instead, L.A. leaned heavily on star guards Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves during the regular season, which allowed James to take a step back. But in the playoffs, his number was called due to injuries, and he stepped up by averaging 23.2 points per game and leading the team to a series win. If James opts to continue his career, he will need to decide where to spend the 2026-27 season. A return to the Lakers is certainly possible. But if his career does end up lasting two or three more seasons, that may increase the likelihood that he puts on another jersey at some point in time. NBA fans certainly don’t want to see the league’s all-time leading scorer retire anytime soon, so if Perkins’ theory is right, that’s good news for everyone.

The future of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James remains a question mark as the NBA offseason approaches, and according to the man himself, it could be a while before some clarity comes. James suggested during a recent episode of his podcast that his future could remain undetermined into August. A scenario like that might put the Lakers in a tricky spot, as they need to build a roster this offseason one way another. According to one NBA executive, there’s “no way” L.A. can wait up for him. “It’s LeBron James,” the executive said, per Heavy Sports. “You want to give him all the time he needs, he has earned it. But if you’re building a team, there’s no way you can wait. It is going to be, ‘We either gotta do this with you or without you.’ And if it is without him, then you’ve got some tough decisions to make. “But you can’t build your team with a $50 million player who might or might not play. If he says he is not sure, they have no choice–they’ve got to move forward like he is not going to be there, and that could really make the decision for him.” James’ options this summer as a pending free agent are essentially to return to Los Angeles, join a new team or call it quits on his legendary NBA career. For what it’s worth, NBA insider Brian Windhorst seems to think that by the draft, there will be clarity on James’ future with the Lakers specifically. Brian Windhorst on LeBrons future: “I think by the draft which is 1 month from today, we will know whether LeBron will be a Laker or not.” https://t.co/0kvl5YB02j pic.twitter.com/f0OuXP7SYE — NBA Courtside (@NBA__Courtside) May 22, 2026 The Lakers are facing lots of uncertainty going into the offseason, as several of their top contributors could hit free agency. In addition to James, Austin Reaves (player option), Marcus Smart (player option), Deandre Ayton (player option), Rui Hachimura, Luka Kennard and others could all hit free agency this summer. That’s a daunting list for the Lakers, who are looking to build a contending team around new franchise cornerstone Luka Doncic. If the organization can get significant money off its books this offseason, that may open up some doors in terms of making a splash somewhere else, but some of L.A.’s potential free agents this offseason would be incredibly hard to replace. When it comes to James, he remains an elite talent even at 41 years of age. This season, he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game for the Lakers while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from beyond the arc. In the postseason, he had to carry a bigger load due to injuries to L.A.’s other stars, and he rose to the occasion. He averaged 23.2 points per game and helped the Lakers win a series before they ultimately bowed out in the second round. It may be hard for the franchise to find a more productive option for its roster next season than James, so if both sides are interested in staying together, hopefully they can make that happen. The

The Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons both took second-round exits in the 2026 NBA Playoffs, and each team could be in the market for some help this offseason. Both squads also have some question marks surrounding key players. Two of those players are Austin Reaves and Jalen Duren. Reaves is likely to opt out of the final year of his deal with the Lakers this offseason and become an unrestricted free agent. Duren, meanwhile, is set to hit restricted free agency. During a recent podcast, Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce was asked about the idea of Reaves and Duren swapping teams through a sign-and-trade. He was excited by the idea. “I like that,” Pierce said of the idea. “I love that for both teams. You get a young big you could put with Luka Doncic in Duren, then you (the Pistons) get the scoring punch that you need on the perimeter.” Pierce did note that a move like that would deplete Detroit’s depth at big man, which the team would have to address. For the Lakers, moving on from Reaves would be an incredible loss, as he’s gone from an undrafted signing to a borderline All-Star in the NBA. This season, he averaged 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game for the Lakers. Adding Duren, however, would certainly be something. He is only 22 years old and earned an All-Star nod this season with the Pistons. He averaged a double-double for a third consecutive season and also finished 11th in the Defensive Player of the Year race. In the regular season, he averaged 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. But it is worth noting that in the playoffs, his production regressed to the tune of 10.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, with his efficiency also taking a hit. He’d be a fascinating piece to pair with Doncic as the Lakers look to build a long-term contender moving forward. Detroit, meanwhile, is looking to do the same. Adding Reaves would give the team an intriguing backcourt that would also feature star guard Cade Cunningham. Although the Pistons won 60 games in the 2025-26 regular season and came one win away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, they were pushed to seven games in the first round against the No. 8 seed and arguably should have taken care of business in the second round against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Their playoff run certainly had its flaws. As such, they should keep as many options on the table as possible this offseason. The post Paul Pierce on possible Jalen Duren-Austin Reaves swap: ‘I love that’ appeared first on Lakers Daily.

Former NBA star Caron Butler got a chance to play alongside Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant for a season, and they ultimately built a close friendship that lasted many years. Somewhere along the way, Butler realized that Bryant was just an “ordinary dude” off the basketball court. “So many stories have been told since the tragedy, but I would say that everything that you probably heard, it was almost like a facade, like it was something that he created,” Butler said. “And then away from the game of basketball, he was just totally different. … Away from the sport, away from the game, he was just like your ordinary dude.” Butler and Bryant were teammates in the 2004-05 NBA season after the Lakers acquired Butler as part of the deal that sent legendary big man Shaquille O’Neal to the Miami Heat. Butler was going into his third NBA season at the time after an inconsistent start to his career with the Heat. With the Lakers, he put together a solid 2004-05 campaign, averaging 15.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. Meanwhile, Bryant, adjusting to life without O’Neal, put together a season in which he averaged 27.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, but in some ways, it was a forgettable season for the Hall of Famer, especially since the Lakers missed the playoffs. Butler’s tenure with the Lakers ended after one season, and Bryant took his game to new heights in the following years. In a three-season span, he won two scoring titles and one MVP award. Then, he helped the Lakers win back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010, giving him five rings in total after he won three during the O’Neal area. Butler also did well for himself after his lone season with Bryant. He spent the next few seasons with the Washington Wizards, where he became a two-time All-Star. He ultimately played 14 seasons in the NBA before calling it quits. Countless stories have been told about Bryant since he lost his life in 2020, and many of them have indeed painted him in an otherworldly light. However, Butler’s comments on the 18-time All-Star are a reminder that away from the bright lights, each and every person is only human at the end of the day.

Former NBA player Eddie Johnson believes that one LeBron James streak will “never” be matched again. James had made an All-NBA team in every season besides his rookie campaign until he failed to reach the 65-game threshold to be eligible for the honor in the 2025-26 season. So, James’ streak – which started in his second NBA season – has finally come to an end after 21 straight years. Johnson believes that streak is untouchable, and it makes sense given James’ longevity. What an amazing feat. We will never see this from any player. https://t.co/Wd4Kc9b3eH — Eddie A Johnson (@Jumpshot8) May 25, 2026 James has played 23 seasons in the NBA, and he may decide to come back for a 24th season in the 2026-27 campaign. No player in NBA history has played in as many seasons as the Los Angeles Lakers star, so it makes sense that Johnson believes James’ feat will never be matched. No player in NBA history has played in more regular-season games (1,622) or playoff games (302) than James, and he’s played over 61,000 minutes in the regular season. The four-time champion is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer with 43,440 points in the regular season, and he’s also the all-time leader in points in the playoffs with 8,521. James’ entire career is unprecedented, and since he’s arguably the greatest player of all time, it’s hard to see anyone coming close to that in the future. Not only has James played for 23 seasons and done so at a high level, but he’s also had just one season where he played fewer than 55 games. His ability to stay healthy has gone a long way toward helping him set some of these records, and it’s possible he will be back in the mix to make an All-NBA team in the 2026-27 season. After all, James still played 60 games in the 2025-26 season after missing the start of the campaign with sciatica. Even at 41 years old, his numbers were impressive. James made yet another All-Star team, and he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from 3 during the regular season. Then, he followed that up by playing even better in the postseason, averaging 23.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per contest across 10 playoff games. It would take a very special player to come anywhere near some of James’ all-time records, and the Lakers star can add to some of them if he decides to continue his career for a 24th season.

Former NBA player Eddie Johnson took to social media and attempted to give Cleveland Cavaliers fans something to cheer for ahead of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Johnson suggested that the Cavs “celebrate tonight” because he thinks that franchise legend LeBron James will return to the team to finish his NBA career. The Cavs were not going to win a Title even if they had won the East and so the Cavs should celebrate tonight because I predict LeBron James is returning to complete his basketball journey next year in a big way! pic.twitter.com/WVUPxLHx76 — Eddie A Johnson (@Jumpshot8) May 25, 2026 Johnson even offered a solution to anyone worried about the Cavs’ ability to pay James. I don’t wanna hear about Cavs can’t pay him. I know, but guess who would? Nike, Madison Avenue and local advertisements. It would be a great story for the potential GOAT! — Eddie A Johnson (@Jumpshot8) May 25, 2026 James has been with the Los Angeles Lakers since the 2018-19 season, but he’s an unrestricted free agent this coming offseason. An Ohio native, James was drafted No. 1 overall by the Cavs in the 2003 NBA Draft, and he won a championship with the franchise in the 2015-16 season. James has left Cleveland twice – once for the Miami Heat and once for the Lakers – but he’s nearing the end of his NBA career and could decide to finish it with his hometown team. The Lakers could make a push to keep James this offseason, but ultimately the four-time champion will decide where he’ll play next since he’s no longer under contract with Los Angeles. The Cavs made the Eastern Conference Finals this season for the first time since James left for L.A., but they’ve been outclassed by the New York Knicks, losing the first three games of the series. It’s possible that Cleveland will look to shake up its roster for next season if it is swept by New York on Monday. James may not be the superstar that he was during his earlier stints with the Cavs, but he’s still an All-Star and played at a high level in the 2025-26 season at 41 years of age. This season, James appeared in 60 games and averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from 3. He also had a strong playoff run, leading the Lakers past the Houston Rockets in the first round even though star guard Luka Doncic did not play in the series while fellow star Austin Reaves missed four of the six games. Los Angeles was swept in the second round by the Oklahoma City Thunder, but James ended up averaging 23.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per contest across 10 games of postseason action. It’s possible James will return to Cleveland for the 2026-27 season, but Johnson seems to just be making a prediction ahead of the offseason.

NBA legend Tracy McGrady recently talked about Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and his greatness, praising the four-time champion for his cardiovascular strength and ability to stay in elite shape. “Being in tip-top shape is part of the game, right?” McGrady began. “Cardiovascular’s part of the game. That’s why LeBron James is so f—— great because he outplays and outlasts everybody in the game. A playoff game, you look down there at the fourth quarter at him, Game 7, that motherf—– ain’t sweating, man. He fresh.” James has played 23 seasons in the NBA, yet he’s remained relatively healthy throughout his entire career. James has played in at least 55 games in all but one season (the 2020-21 campaign), and he’s played in more regular-season games (1,622) than anyone in NBA history. On top of that, James has been to the NBA Finals 10 times in his career and has played in more playoff games (302) than anyone in NBA history as well. He had a stretch during his career where he reached the NBA Finals in eight straight seasons, showing remarkable durability year in and year out. There’s no doubt that availability goes a long way toward a player being great. Even in his 23rd year, James appeared in 60 games for the Lakers in the regular season despite missing the start of the campaign with sciatica. In the 2025-26 season, the four-time MVP made yet another All-Star team, and he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from 3. Then, he was the only Lakers star healthy for all 10 of the team’s playoff games, as Luka Doncic (hamstring) did not play in the playoffs while Austin Reaves (oblique) missed the first four games of the Lakers’ run. James led the Lakers to a 3-0 series lead against the Houston Rockets and eventually took them to the second round before they were swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder. During the playoff run for L.A., James ended up averaging 23.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game. It’s very possible that the NBA will never see another player like James, and it’s also possible he will return for a 24th season in the 2026-27 campaign. The NBA’s all-time leading scorer, James has a chance to set a ton of records because of his longevity and how well he’s taken care of his body during his career.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to big man Duke Brennan ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft. Brennan reportedly will have an official workout with the Lakers on Tuesday, putting him on the radar as a potential option for Los Angeles. The Lakers only have one pick in the 2026 NBA Draft (their first-round selection) since they traded away their 2026 second-round pick years ago. Brennan isn’t projected to go in the first round. Duke Brennan (@Dukebrennan86) has an official workout with the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, per @OG6_SM@Lakers@NBA pic.twitter.com/KgHfxnCMkA — OG6 Sports Management (@OG6_SM) May 25, 2026 Still, Brennan could be a player to watch for Los Angeles as it looks to improve its frontcourt. The Lakers have several potential free agents this offseason, including some that could impact their big man depth. Brennan spent four seasons in college, beginning his career at Arizona State University before transferring to Grand Canyon University, where he spent two seasons. He was an All-WAC selection in the 2024-25 season and made the conference’s All-Defense team in the same campaign. He then transferred to Villanova University ahead of the 2025-26 season, where he eventually earned All-Big East honors. Brennan had a huge 2025-26 campaign, averaging 12.4 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 65.8 percent from the field. The big man didn’t shoot many 3s in his college career (he was 1-for-3 overall), but he’s a proven inside presence that averaged over nine rebounds per game in each of his last two collegiate seasons. Since it doesn’t appear that Brennan will be a first-round pick, the Lakers may value him as a potential undrafted free agent option following the 2026 NBA Draft. Los Angeles would love to improve its depth down low after multiple seasons of shaky big man play ever since the team moved on from Anthony Davis in the Luka Doncic trade. The Lakers have a lot of moves to consider making this offseason, but finding another undrafted player that could help them in the future would be a major win. Austin Reaves and Alex Caruso have both played major roles as undrafted players for the Lakers in the past, and it’s possible Brennan could increase L.A.’s interest in him with a strong workout on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly bolstering their front office by hiring Rohan Ramadas as an assistant general manager under Rob Pelinka. “The Los Angeles Lakers made their first significant move of the offseason by hiring Rohan Ramadas as an assistant general manager under president and GM Rob Pelinka, sources told ESPN on Monday,” ESPN’s Dave McMenamin and Shams Charania wrote. Ramadas has a very impressive background, as he spent the past decade or so working in some capacity for the New Orleans Pelicans, including two years in a full-time role with the franchise. The new Lakers front office member was most recently the vice president of strategy and operations with New Orleans. A Pelicans source offered ESPN a comment on Ramadas. “He’s a literal rocket scientist,” the source said. That comment doesn’t appear to be hyperbole, either. Ramadas has worked both in the NBA and aerospace. According to the Pelicans, the executive spent 12 years “supporting the Aerospace Corporation, U.S. Space Force, and NASA as a rocket guidance, navigation, control, and mission design engineer.” So, the Lakers are clearly bringing in a very gifted individual to help Pelinka and the franchise. “While working for the Pelicans, Ramadas implemented AI and coded models to aid the front office, the source told ESPN,” McMenamin and Charania wrote. According to The Athletic’s Dan Woike, Ramadas is regarded as “very smart” by people around the league. I can confirm the Lakers have hired Rohan Ramadas as an assistant general manager. Ramadas worked for the New Orleans Pelicans the past two seasons in strategy and has a background in aerospace. Regarded as very smart by people in the league who know him. — Dan Woike (@DanWoikeSports) May 25, 2026 The Lakers are looking to make improvements to their roster in the offseason, and adding someone as experienced and savvy as Ramadas to the front office is a good start. Hopefully, he can help Pelinka and the Lakers shape their roster around Luka Doncic as they look to contend for a title in the 2026-27 season and beyond. The Lakers made the playoffs as the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference in the 2025-26 season, but an injury to Doncic limited the team’s ceiling in the postseason. The Lakers beat the Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs behind some strong play from LeBron James, but they were then swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round. If Los Angeles wants to compete with the Thunder and San Antonio Spurs in the West, it has to improve its roster, especially since James (41 years old) is nearing the end of his career. Hopefully, Ramadas will bring some new insight to help the Lakers make the most of their cap space and assets in the coming offseason.

Coming into this season for the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most intriguing pieces was center Deandre Ayton. The former top overall pick was looking to change the narrative on his career after a down year and questions about his dedication to the game and overall attitude. There were certainly some ups and downs throughout the season, but ultimately Ayton did lean into his role as more of a rebounder and rim protector and thrived for the most part once he did so. Even still, the big man admitted that his first season with the Lakers was a humbling one. “A lot of sacrifices,” Ayton said when asked how his season went. “I came in with a different mindset and I had to adjust. It was a very humbling experience as well, so I’m just really glad I got to show that and my style of play, just being coachable and doing what’s best for the team.” Ayton infamously ranted in the locker room about the role the Lakers were asking him to play. However, he would eventually accept that the Lakers didn’t need him to be a scorer, but rather a physical presence in the paint. “I came in here with a scorer’s mentality and we don’t really need that,” Ayton added. “We have the best players on the team and the best playmakers. I tiny bit had to break down my game where it’s just rebounding and defending the rim is what the team wanted. It’s not what I want, but it’s what the team wanted to do to progress to wins.” This was best on display during the Lakers’ first-round playoff victory over the Houston Rockets, where Ayton’s physicality and defense against Alperen Sengun was a major factor in their success. Ultimately, Ayton was proud of how he adapted his game to fit what the Lakers needed. “Just how I accepted everything and adapted,” Ayton responded when asked what he is most proud of. “I feel like I grew in some areas where I never thought I was gonna really grow up. Just accepting the challenge and the criticism, constructive criticism as well, and just being that guy the team wants me to be, no matter what it is. I’m really happy I have it at 27 to sit down and be coachable.” Deandre Ayton can control his future Ayton has a player option for $8.1 million next season and it is unclear whether he will choose to return or opt out for a bigger contract. It certainly wasn’t a perfect season as there were times where things were great and others where he saw himself watching the end of games from the bench. Whether he will be back with the Lakers next season is anyone’s guess at this point, but Ayton holds all of the cards due to that player option. Have you subscribed to our YouTube channel?

This offseason could see some big changes to the Los Angeles Lakers’ roster. The front office wants to build the team around superstar guard Luka Doncic and this summer they have the means to do it with salary cap space and draft picks to explore additions via free agency, trades and the NBA Draft. In this day and age, this process is one that includes the superstar themselves and that is undoubtedly the case between the Lakers and Doncic as Rob Pelinka noted that the franchise is in constant communication with the guard on finding the right pieces to place around him. “I think the keyword is that’s an ongoing, collaborative process,” Pelinka said during his end-of-season press conference. “It’s not, ‘Hey, I want X, Y and Z.’ So we’re in constant communication with him and his team. I plan on seeing him before he takes off to go home and spend some time with his daughters. We’re going to get together, I think on Friday or Saturday, so ongoing dialogue. “He’s an incredible partner. His basketball IQ on the court is something we get to see as fans. JJ and I get to see his basketball knowledge in terms of other players in the league, and the way he wants to play and who he wants to play with. His knowledge base is vast, so those dyes and collaboration with him are actually really inspirational. He also does it in a way where he wants to do his job great and he wants to let JJ do his job great, and let me do my job great. So they really are productive conversations through that lens.” The Lakers are reportedly looking to lock down a secondary creator long-term, which in all likelihood would be Austin Reaves as he and Doncic showed great chemistry this season. The team would also like to improve the center position with more of a rim-running option that Doncic is used to along with some true two-way wings who can improve perimeter defense and provide consistent shooting. What is great is that the Lakers and Doncic are on the same page with what their plans are and the front office will do everything in their power to maximize the potential of this roster going into next season. Luka Doncic finishes fourth in NBA MVP voting One thing that is for sure is that Doncic is a true franchise player the Lakers can build around. He was outstanding in his first full season with the team, leading the NBA in scoring and ultimately finishing fourth in NBA MVP voting.

One of the biggest questions this offseason, not only for the Los Angeles Lakers, but around the entire NBA, is the future of LeBron James. The superstar clearly has plenty left in the tank and can contribute at a high level, but after 23 years in the NBA, he could choose to call it a career. James is also an unrestricted free agent this summer and will be free to sign with any team he chooses. He is sure to have plenty of suitors this offseason and, according to reports, that includes basically every top team in the league. “Honestly, I think LeBron, more than past years, probably needs even more time with his family, with his inner circle,” ESPN’s Shams Charania said in an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “I do know a lot of teams are calling him and his camp. I spoke to Rich Paul the other day at the Chicago Draft Combine last week, and he told me every contender in the NBA, essentially, since the season ended has placed a call.” It makes sense that any team with championship aspirations is gauging where James stands and whether he would be interested in joining them next season. But first and foremost, James has to want to play another season and that is no guarantee as he has put more miles on his body than any player in NBA history. And that decision may not come for a while as, like Charania noted, James will be taking some time away to be with his family. Should he choose to play a 24th NBA season, then it will be about what he is looking for and his priorities when choosing a team. The Lakers have been open about their desire to want him back, and considering his family is based in Southern California, and his son Bronny James still is under contract with the Lakers, a return is an obvious possibility. But there will certainly be plenty of other teams looking to bring him in with the likes of the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers being mentioned as possibilities. Regardless this will be one of the most watched stories of the offseason and rumors are already beginning to swirl before the offseason officially begins. Bronny James has ‘no clue’ about LeBron James’ future No one is sure what James will do next season be it return to the Lakers, sign elsewhere or retire.

洛杉矶湖人队在这个休赛期面临着重要的自由球员决定，中锋贾克森·海耶斯就是其中之一。海耶斯可以说是他在紫金军团中表现最好的一个赛季，甚至经常发现自己在最后一场比赛中战胜了德安德烈·艾顿。 海耶斯凭借他的运动能力带来了能量，更重要的是他在对阵俄克拉荷马雷霆队的第四场比赛中的雷鸣般的扣篮。尽管赛季结束令人失望，海耶斯承认他想以自由球员身份重返湖人队。 “是的，当然。我爱这群人，我爱这支球队，我爱整个球队，”海耶斯在湖人队被淘汰后说道。 “我是看着科比长大的，我只是喜欢成为一名湖人球员。我每天都穿着科比的球鞋。显然，我很想留在这里。我希望如此。” 自由球员市场是不可预测的，事情可能不会像球员希望的那样顺利，但这位替补大个子表示，他专注于提高自己的比赛水平，以便为下赛季做好准备。 “公平地说，过去两个夏天我一直是自由球员，”海耶斯说。 “所以，我会以同样的方式去做，确保这个夏天我每天都变得更好，并在我的比赛中努力工作。努力为明年做好准备。” 湖人队可能有兴趣再次将海耶斯带回来，因为他在短时间内与卢卡东契奇产生了良好的化学反应。看看他的市场是什么样子将会很有趣，因为洛杉矶可能会在其他地方使用他们的薪金空间，然后再回到替补中锋位置。 洛杉矶肯定会探索提升首发中锋位置的途径。在季后赛中，海耶斯在与身体强壮的大个子的对抗中表现得很挣扎，而主教练雷迪克也曾一度很难找到可靠的中锋。 湖人队想要一名篮筐保护者和防守主力，而这些技能是艾顿和海耶斯都无法真正提供的。 杰克森·海耶斯获得斯洛文尼亚护照与卢卡·东契奇一起比赛 如前所述，海耶斯与东契奇在场上建立了良好的关系，他显然很喜欢与这位斯洛文尼亚球星一起打球。海耶斯因此获得了斯洛文尼亚护照，可以在今年夏天与东契奇一起征战国际篮联。 不幸的是，这位湖人球星在赛季结束后不久宣布，由于两个女儿的监护权争夺战正在进行，他将不会代表自己的国家队出战。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

从来没有球员打过 23 个 NBA 赛季，但勒布朗·詹姆斯不仅做到了这一点，而且他再次为洛杉矶湖人队打出了极高水平的表现。虽然詹姆斯因坐骨神经痛错过了赛季的开始，但一旦他能够穿上衣服，他就很少再缺席，并竭尽全力帮助湖人队取得成功，包括在赛季中期进行角色的巨大转变。 詹姆斯带领湖人队在季后赛首轮爆冷击败休斯敦火箭队，但随后在第二轮被俄克拉荷马城雷霆队横扫。在大多数情况下，被淘汰出季后赛将被视为赛季令人失望的结局，但詹姆斯明确表示，凭借他本赛季所做的一切，他并不以这种方式看待今年。 “我不知道。我想当你过了 40 岁的时候，你就会开始忘记——那件事发生了，”詹姆斯在输掉比赛后说道。 “所以我什至不记得上次离开球场是什么时候。听着，就像我说的，我把一切都留在了地板上。我控制我能控制的事情。显然，我讨厌失败，但我专注于我们需要做的事情。我试图确保我的球员在整个季后赛中都专注于我们需要做的事情。 “显然我们有点落后，但我并不认为我的这一年令人失望。那是肯定的。尤其是当我被安排到一些我职业生涯中从未踢过的位置之后。其实在我的生活中。我一生中从未有过第三种选择。因此，能够在那段时间里在这个角色中茁壮成长，然后必须回到我在职业生涯或生活中习惯的角色，并能够在这个角色和我的队友允许他们在极端情况下领导他们的情况下茁壮成长，这对我职业生涯的这个阶段来说非常酷。”  正如詹姆斯所指出的，他被要求担任第三选择角色，并在卢卡·东契奇和奥斯汀·里维斯接手主要创造职责后蓬勃发展。但当赛季末和季后赛开始时两人都因伤缺阵时，詹姆斯重新回到了主要的组织角色并带领湖人队取得了季后赛的成功。 他的未来仍不明朗，他需要一些时间来弄清楚他下赛季要做什么，但他继续做着NBA球员在职业生涯这个阶段从未做过的事情，他有充分的理由为此感到自豪。 湖人队将尊重勒布朗·詹姆斯休赛期的进程 詹姆斯今年夏天是一名不受限制的自由球员，因此如果他选择继续他的职业生涯，他将可以自由地与任何球队签约。詹姆斯需要一些时间才能决定他要做什么，湖人队总经理罗布·佩林卡表示球队将尊重他在做出决定时选择的程序。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

2021 年 5 月 19 日，洛杉矶湖人队在入围赛中对阵金州勇士队，打出了他们所能想象到的最糟糕的上半场之一。但当基本上进入季后赛时，唯一重要的是最终结果，勒布朗·詹姆斯确保湖人队在对阵斯蒂芬·库里和他的对手的比赛中取得领先。 湖人队在半场落后13分的情况下逆转，詹姆斯在最后时刻投进制胜三分球，湖人队以103-100战胜勇士队。这场胜利让湖人队锁定了西部第七的种子，首轮将对阵菲尼克斯太阳队。 安东尼·戴维斯拿下湖人队最高的25分和12个篮板，但在对阵勇士队球星德雷蒙德·格林的比赛中表现不佳，24投仅10中。同样，詹姆斯全场17投仅7中，但下半场表现好多了，仍然拿下22分、11个篮板和10次助攻的三双数据。 这场比赛确实是一个两半的故事，湖人队在经历了糟糕的上半场之后彻底扭转了局面。詹姆斯、戴维斯和丹尼斯·施罗德都表现得很挣扎，但替补球员亚历克斯·卡鲁索在早期就让球队保持在进攻距离内。库里在半场压哨投中三分，为勇士队半场领先并进入更衣室提供了巨大的动力。 湖人队在下半场立即拉近了距离，但两队在第四节一直互交锋。湖人队似乎掌握了主动权，但库里带领勇士队扳回一城，最终两队战成100平。 在比分打成平手的情况下，湖人队的进攻进攻很糟糕，肯塔维乌斯·考德威尔·波普被困在油漆区，但最终在外线找到了詹姆斯，后者被迫在进攻时间结束时投进一记三分球。然而，这个投篮将会落下，并为湖人队提供了获胜的机会。 卡鲁索当晚表现出色，拿下14分、3个篮板和3次助攻，向湖人队展示了他的必要性。考德威尔-波普也贡献了 10 分和 3 次助攻，而凯尔·库兹马和韦斯利·马修斯也为湖人队提供了一些精彩的表现，尽管他们的数据可能无法体现出来。 湖人队首轮输给太阳队 不幸的是，湖人队的卫冕之路并没有走得更远，他们在首轮六场比赛中输给了太阳队。在戴维斯腹股沟受伤之前，他们在系列赛中以2-1领先，基本上缺席了系列赛的其余比赛。事实证明，这对詹姆斯和湖人队来说是致命的打击。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

1987年5月19日，前洛杉矶湖人队控球后卫“魔术师”约翰逊被评为MVP，这是他职业生涯中首次获得该奖项。约翰逊随后于 1989 年和 1990 年再次获得 MVP 荣誉。 约翰逊获得了 78 张第一选票中的 65 票，总分 788 分。迈克尔·乔丹以 449 分（10 张第一选票）位居第二，成为 NBA 历史上第二位单赛季得分超过 3,000 分的球员。 紧随其后的是波士顿凯尔特人队传奇人物拉里·伯德（Larry Bird），后者仅获得一张第一名选票，总得分为 271 分。约翰逊赢得 MVP 奖，结束了伯德连续三个赛季获得这一荣誉的记录。 约翰逊在新闻发布会上的获奖感言中开玩笑说：“我要感谢拉里·伯德，让我度过了稍稍不顺的一年，我想掐死迈克尔·乔丹给我施加的所有压力。” 约翰逊场均得到职业生涯新高的23.9分，并在助攻榜上领先全联盟（12.2次），同时还贡献了场均6.3个篮板。他的努力帮助湖人队取得了65胜17负的最佳战绩。 魔术师约翰逊也赢得了总决赛MVP 虽然 1987 年的 MVP 奖是约翰逊的第一个奖项，但他之前曾在 1980 年和 1982 年被评为 NBA 总决赛 MVP。1987 年，湖人队在六场比赛中击败了凯尔特人队，他第三次获得总决赛 MVP 奖，完成了一个辉煌的赛季。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

马库斯·斯马特和勒布朗·詹姆斯在前者职业生涯的前四年里一直是对手。斯马特的波士顿凯尔特人队和詹姆斯的克利夫兰骑士队在四个赛季中在季后赛中交锋过三次——詹姆斯赢得了全部三场比赛——然后他西迁加盟洛杉矶湖人队。 直到 2025-26 赛季，他们的道路才再次交汇，这次是作为队友。斯玛特在被华盛顿奇才队买断后于 2025 年夏天加盟湖人队。虽然两人是出色的对手，但他们可能是更好的队友。他们很快就产生了化学反应，并一起一路赢得了第一轮的胜利。因此，当詹姆斯权衡自己在 NBA 和湖人队的未来时，斯玛特希望再次与他一起打球。 “你永远不知道，勒布朗已经这样做了 23 年，而我已经这样做了 12 年，”斯玛特在离职采访中说道。 “我们在这个联盟中看到了一些事情。有些事情我们可能不应该看到，有些事情你可能不会认为你会看到。所以我真的不知道。我希望如此。 “与他的战斗很有趣。成为他的队友很有趣。我们都知道他在这场比赛中带来的智商。正如奥斯汀所说，信心，他给了房间里的每个人信心。特别是当 AR 和卢卡倒下时，我们需要一些人挺身而出，信心才得以增强。这充分说明了他是谁。当然希望如此，但我们拭目以待。” 遗憾的是，詹姆斯和斯玛特花了这么长时间才合作，因为他们的比赛彼此完美地互补。那是在两位球员都已经过了巅峰时期的情况下。几年前，这可能是明星和角色球员之间的精英冠军组合。 湖人队似乎很可能会尝试留住这两名球员。詹姆斯即将进入不受限制的自由球员市场，即将迎来一个令人着迷的夏天，而斯玛特可能会以球员选项加入他，但他很容易拒绝。 勒布朗·詹姆斯并不认为 2025-26 赛季令人失望 赢得总冠军是NBA赛季的最终目标。然而，人们对戒指重要性的普遍讨论太过分了，将每一个非冠军赛季都视为失败。对于詹姆斯和湖人来说，情况肯定不是这样。 从来没有人指望洛杉矶能赢得整个赛季的胜利，事实上，考虑到一些关键伤病的发生时间和严重程度，洛杉矶队已经取得了超额的成绩。 41岁带领湖人队取得系列赛胜利的詹姆斯称他的个人赛季是成功的，尽管最终以第二轮出局告终。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

洛杉矶湖人队总经理罗布·佩林卡面临着一个重要的休赛期。几乎整个阵容都将进入不受限制的自由球员市场，但湖人队拥有充足的薪金空间和三个可交易的首轮选秀权，可以用来改善超级巨星卢卡·东契奇周围的球队。 佩林卡是对新的 CBA 围裙制度严厉处罚最直言不讳的 NBA 决策者之一，这表明他倾向于避免最严格的等​​级。因此，正如佩林卡在季末新闻发布会上所说，培养内部球员变得更加重要。 “我认为在这个工资帽体系中，球员的发展将是最终成功的一个重要因素，”佩林卡说。 “我们已经看到了这一点。我想你可以看看来到这里并发展起来的老球员。我会以鲁伊为例。当我们交易他时，他现在是谁，他是一个不同的球员。这证明了JJ的球员发展，工作人员，我看到博教练坐在这里，他投入了很多。 “所以我认为年轻的老将球员也可以得到发展。我想我们还有阿杜·蒂耶罗（Adou Thiero）作为另一个例子。今年他的健康状况出现了一些问题，但一旦他恢复健康，JJ 就足够信任他，让他进入季后赛系列赛，并得到了一些大篮板并打出了一些精彩的比赛。这些只是例子。 “我们必须继续寻找年轻人才并培养他们。就珍妮和马克为我们提供的资源而言，这是他们真正希望我们发展的一个领域。当然，我们在我们的兄弟姐妹组织道奇队中也看到了这一点。他们在球员发展方面投入了大量资金，而且做得很好。所以这是我和 JJ 将开始进行的对话。除了建设前台基础设施之外，他还需要在教练组上提供额外的资源吗？球员的发展和弧线对我们来说是一个非常重要的领域，让湖人队在这方面表现出色。” 佩林卡是对的，从廉价球员身上获得高价值在 CBA 中比以往任何时候都更加重要。俄克拉荷马城雷霆队拥有阿杰·米切尔、卡森·华莱士、贾里德·麦凯恩、以赛亚·乔等球员，他们已经掌握了这一点。圣安东尼奥马刺队几乎完全由新秀合同的精英球员领导。 湖人队还没有达到同样的价值，无论是由于糟糕的选秀还是糟糕的发展。无论如何，如果湖人队想要在这个至关重要的休赛期获得最大的回报，他们就必须作为一个整体来解决这个问题。 罗布·佩林卡强调改善阵容的选择性 佩林卡讨论了湖人队将如何从头开始有效地围绕卢卡·东契奇建立他们的阵容，并且他们必须对他们可以建立的方式持开放态度。 佩林卡在赛季末新闻发布会上表示：“我认为这真的很好，正确的用词是在这个双围裙 CBA 中的选择性，这几乎是一个有效的硬上限。”

周一晚上，NBA 两支最好的球队俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和圣安东尼奥马刺队在西部决赛中备受期待的第一场比赛。雷霆队在四场比赛中淘汰了洛杉矶湖人队，马刺队在六场比赛中击败了明尼苏达森林狼队。 第一场比赛立即成为经典，超出了人们的预期。比赛进入双加时，超级巨星维克多·温班亚马（Victor Wembanyama）刷新了数据表，雷霆队的进攻均衡，防守出色。最终，马刺队在俄克拉荷马城抢走了第一场比赛的胜利。温巴尼亚马得到41分和24个篮板。 NBA界在观看这场比赛时可能都有同样的想法，那就是这两支球队与联盟其他球队之间的差距是巨大的。湖人队传奇人物“魔术师”约翰逊在赛后肯定有这样的感觉，他向西部其他球队发出了警告： 我不想把这个消息告诉西部联盟的其他球队，但他们可能在未来5-7年内没有机会赢得西部决赛。俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和圣安东尼奥马刺队就是那么棒！他们才华横溢、深度深厚、运动能力强，两支球队都是…… — 埃尔文·魔术师约翰逊 (@MagicJohnson) 2026 年 5 月 19 日 约翰逊这么说，当然也包括他的湖人队。不难理解为什么他会有这种感觉。尽管超级巨星卢卡·东契奇缺席了整个季后赛，湖人队仍打出了十多年来最好的赛季之一，赢得了 53 场比赛并赢得了系列赛。 然而，即使有东契奇，他们也可能没有机会对抗雷霆。他们实在是太有天赋、太深了，湖人队根本无法匹敌。 阵容总是可以改变和提高，但湖人队需要做出一些重大改进才能与这两支球队抗衡。总经理罗布·佩林卡能否整理出这个名单还有待观察。 湖人队与卢卡·东契奇就阵容建设进行沟通 如果湖人队想要打造一支能够对抗雷霆队和马刺队的冠军争夺队，他们将需要他们的超级巨星的帮助。好消息是东契奇和球队在阵容建设和他们想要瞄准的球员类型方面一直保持着沟通。 “我认为关键词是这是一个持续的、协作的过程，”佩林卡在季末新闻发布会上说道。 “这不是，‘嘿，我想要 X、Y 和 Z。’所以我们与他和他的团队保持着持续的沟通。我计划在他起飞回家并与他的女儿们共度一些时间之前见见他。我想周五或周六我们会聚在一起，所以持续的对话。” 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

洛杉矶湖人队的赛季本来可以在 4 月 2 日结束，当时卢卡·东契奇和奥斯汀·里维斯在对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的比赛中都遭遇了 2 级肌肉拉伤。东契奇不会回归，里维斯也将缺席近四个星期。对于大多数球队来说，失去他们的前两名得分选择——包括 MVP 候选人——就意味着在今年剩下的时间里挥舞白旗。 那不是湖人队所做的。他们凭借马库斯·斯马特、八村塁和卢克·肯纳德等角色球员的出色表现，在勒布朗·詹姆斯身后重整旗鼓，赢得了对阵休斯敦火箭队的第一轮系列赛，但最终被俄克拉荷马城雷霆队横扫。当回顾 2025-26 赛季时，这正是里维斯所记得的。 “是的，我的意思是JJ（雷迪克）赛后在更衣室里谈到了这一点，”里维斯在湖人队被淘汰后说道。 “这很有趣，很快乐，也很辛苦。这个赛季很多事情都不如我们所愿，我们有很多退出的机会，而我们更衣室或球队里的人都不是这样的。每个人都团结在一起。 “他谈到，当我们输掉雷霆队的那场比赛时，我受伤了，卢卡（东契奇）也受伤了。我们去了达拉斯，却输了。我进入 NBA 已经五年了。我知道很多球队当时都会放弃，但这支球队却不是这样。每天上班都很开心。是的，我爱这支球队。” 里维斯说得对，大多数 NBA 球队在这种情况下都会放弃。事实上，过去五年几乎所有湖人队都会这样做。但今年球队的文化处于不同的水平，他们团结起来的方式非常引人注目。 里维斯现在几乎肯定会拒绝他的球员选项并成为一名不受限制的自由球员。但这个赛季展示了这个版本的湖人队的联系有多么紧密，这可能是他希望以长期合同返回洛杉矶的一个主要因素。 奥斯汀·里维斯的潜在自由球员追求者不断涌现 里维斯刚刚度过了他职业生涯中最好的一个赛季，并且他在 NBA 的影响力逐年飞速上升。正因为如此，他有可能是 2026 年夏季班中最好的自由球员，并且一些球队已经开始登记报道的兴趣。 芝加哥公牛队、布鲁克林篮网队、亚特兰大老鹰队和犹他爵士队都表现出了某种形式的兴趣。前两支球队都有薪金空间，可以直接支付他的费用，而后两支球队则需要一些帮助才能支付他的费用。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

JJ雷迪克作为洛杉矶湖人队主教练的第二个赛季无疑是成功的，他带领球队度过了重重逆境，赢得了53场比赛，这是球队自2010-11赛季以来赢得的最多胜利。 尽管他的球队有一些明显的缺陷，雷迪克还是做到了。在一年一度的季末新闻发布会上，雷迪克讨论了这些缺陷以及湖人队需要在下赛季的竞争中做得更好的领域。 “我们显然需要在防守上有一个更好的整体赛季，”雷迪克承认。 “我认为我们有过这样的经历。我已经说过很多次了，我认为我们防守上的进步对我们的员工来说是一个很大的功劳。鲍勃和格雷格，以及他们在电影和演练中所做的工作。 “连续打48场比赛，没有休息两天，而且不能训练，这太疯狂了。试图在这之中变得更好是一个真正的挑战。这两个人都做得很好，但我们必须在防守上做得更好。当然可以谈论人员问题，但作为一名员工，我们将评估我们做得好的地方、做得不好的地方，并找出改进的方法。” 除了防守方面的进步，雷迪克在进攻端也觉得这还有成长的空间。 “我认为卢克（肯纳德）是一个很好的例子。雷迪克说：“他是一个能够运球、传球和投篮的人。”“我认为由于伤病，有时我们做得不够。我们必须在运球、传球和射门方面做得更好。我知道这听起来很简单，但这就是现实。” 对于雷迪克来说幸运的是，湖人队有足够的薪金空间和选秀资本来改善他们这个休赛期的阵容。每个人都知道要与俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和圣安东尼奥马刺队等球队竞争需要付出很大的努力，但湖人队有一位正处于巅峰期的超级巨星卢卡·东契奇，这将是他们围绕他建立阵容的第一次真正尝试。 JJ雷迪克知道湖人队需要做出改进 湖人第二轮被淘汰后，雷迪克直言需要进步才能争夺总冠军。 “我确实认为，如果你想赢得冠军，那么这个组织就是。我正在努力赢得冠军。我知道[罗布·佩林卡]正在努力赢得冠军，我知道珍妮[巴斯]正在努力，我知道马克[沃尔特]正在努力。我们正在努力赢得冠军。所以你必须现实一点，评估自己的处境，而我们现在还不够好。”雷迪克说道。 “可能会有一些连续性；可能不会。但这就是接下来两个月的目的。” 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

1970年5月20日，洛杉矶湖人队在与菲尼克斯太阳队的交易中得到了盖尔·古德里奇。这笔交易让古德里奇回到了在 1965 年 NBA 选秀中选中他的球队。 在与湖人队闯入联盟三个赛季后，古德里奇在交易前在太阳队度过了两年。在他 14 年的职业生涯中，这位五次入选全明星的球员有 9 次效力于湖人队，2 次效力于太阳队，3 次效力于犹他爵士队。 他最为人所铭记的是 1972 年带领湖人队取得 33 连胜，并最终赢得 NBA 总冠军，这是球队自 1954 年以来的第一个总冠军，后来被交易换来了魔术师约翰逊的选秀权。 在洛杉矶效力期间，古德里奇场均贡献19分、3.0个篮板、4.2次助攻和1.5次抢断。他超过了冠军赛季的场均25.9分、3.6个篮板和4.5次助攻。 1971-72赛季标志着古德里奇连续四次入选全明星赛的开始，他还在1973-74赛季获得了NBA最佳阵容的荣誉。 盖尔·古德里奇的记录和成就 1996 年 11 月 20 日，湖人队退役了古德里奇的 25 号球衣。他在多个方面均位居历史领先者之列，包括总得分（排名第六，13,044）、助攻（排名第七，2,863）、罚球命中数（排名第七，2,830）和上场次数（排名第九，687）。 古德里奇保持着洛杉矶队连续罚球次数纪录，曾两次连续罚中 40 球。 1996年，古德里奇入选篮球名人堂。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

洛杉矶湖人队致力于围绕超级巨星后卫卢卡·东契奇打造自己的阵容，并真正与 NBA 的其他顶级球队竞争。 罗布·佩林卡将带领球队管理层进入一个极其重要的休赛期，因为他们希望能够一跃进入冠军争夺战。这意味着能够与俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和圣安东尼奥马刺队等球队并肩作战，这些球队在大部分情况下都在NBA选秀中经历了多年的低迷并重建了阵容。事实上，很多球队为了获得高选秀权而走坦克路线，但佩林卡明确表示湖人队不会这么做。 “你提到了底特律、马刺、雷霆，在你看来，这些球队在选秀中必须经历什么才能建立起来？多个赛季的失利，”佩林卡在赛季末的新闻发布会上说道。 “这不是我们这里基础设施的一部分。尽管我们中的一些人可能希望如此，但这不是湖人队的方式。我们必须找到持续的卓越，所以它有时确实会创造出一条线索。你必须找到一种方法来每年拥有冠军名单。 “我想说，要达到这一点，最困难的事情就是拥有一名年轻的、具有变革性的球员，他可以带领你在季后赛中一路夺得总冠军。这是最难得到的东西。你可能会连续输掉五年，但得到五个前五顺位的选秀权，然后在没有那个球员的情况下走出困境。这确实很难，但我们在卢卡身上做到了这一点，所以这部分难题已经解决了。我们对此表示感谢。 “现在只需将所有其他部分放在一起即可到达终点。” 佩林卡的观点是正确的，许多球队在选秀中花费了很多年时间，却无法找到一名特许球员。由于湖人队已经拥有处于巅峰期的东契奇，他们不能浪费一两个赛季的时间来希望得到一个可能会成功也可能不会成功的高顺位选秀权。他们必须处于赢球模式，佩林卡明白这一点。 但通过选秀进行构建确实可以让团队获得对团队友好的合同的多个贡献者。雷霆队、马刺队和底特律活塞队不仅得到了特权球员，还得到了重要的角色球员。湖人队有办法通过今年夏天的自由球员、交易和选秀来改善他们的阵容，佩林卡和管理层将面临采取正确行动的压力。 罗布·佩林卡表示球员发展对于湖人队的成功至关重要 湖人队可能不会走坦克路线，但这并不意味着这支球队不重视年轻球员。正如佩林卡在季末新闻发布会上明确表示的那样，球员的发展对于球队前进的成功至关重要。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

圣安东尼奥马刺队球星维克多·温巴尼亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 22 岁就接管了联盟，他似乎与洛杉矶湖人队传奇人物科比·布莱恩特 (Kobe Bryant) 有很多相似之处。 科比也在年轻时崭露头角，在 23 岁时就赢得了三个冠军。他和温班亚马不仅都是 20 岁出头的极具天赋的球员，而且他们都拥有年轻运动员中不常见的成熟和渴望成为伟大的球员。 事实上，ESPN 的雷蒙娜·谢尔本 (Ramona Shelburne) 报道了一件轶事，说温班亚马的经纪人在上个休赛期与科比的前经纪人、现任湖人队总经理罗布·佩林卡 (Rob Pelinka) 会面，询问这位传奇后卫在职业生涯中是如何做一些事情的。 去年四月，他给洛杉矶湖人队总经理兼篮球运营总裁罗布·佩林卡（在职业生涯的大部分时间里代表科比·布莱恩特）打电话，并安排了一次午餐。 原因很简单。 “他们的思维方式不同，”恩迪亚耶告诉 ESPN。 “他们玩耍的方式，他们伸展自己的方式。只是他们的好奇心。他们如何学习和观察事物。他们在解决问题方面都非常有创造力。” 谢尔本接着讲述了科比在球员时期如何研究大白鲨的故事，以此来帮助他防守阿伦·艾弗森和其他球星。他还研究了米开朗基罗等画家，佩林卡向温巴尼亚马的经纪人解释说，这是在不可能的条件下创造非凡作品的一种方式。 这次会面的原因是 Wembanyama 想要了解科比的行事方式： “我想了解科比是如何做事的，”恩迪亚耶告诉 ESPN。 “这样我们就可以向他学习。维克多与其他人不同。我们必须发挥创造力，打造他独有的项目。” 当然，科比以其曼巴精神而闻名，这种心态让他比联盟中的其他人都更出色。 Wembanyama 显然也有同样的心态，这对联盟其他球员来说是危险的，因为这位 7 英尺 5 英寸的大个子拥有连科比都做梦也想不到的身体素质。 虽然温巴尼亚马可能没有计划很快离开马刺队，但佩林卡也许为这位法国球星的经纪人播下了一些种子，因为所有 NBA 的精英大个子都倾向于在职业生涯的某个阶段为湖人队效力。 魔术师约翰逊警告马刺队维克托·温班亚马 另一位湖人传奇人物“魔术师”约翰逊知道他在今年的西部决赛中看到了一些特别的东西，他警告联盟其他球队，在未来的几年里将很难与温巴尼亚马、马刺队以及俄克拉荷马城雷霆队相抗衡。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

自从 2023 年加入洛杉矶湖人队以来，八村塁作为一名球员取得了突飞猛进的成长。毫无疑问，他发展最快的领域是三分射手。 过去三个赛季，八村塁的三分命中率均达到至少 41%，去年创下了 44.3% 的队史纪录。这位前锋最近讨论了他已经走了多远，甚至承认他一开始并不真正喜欢投三分球，但现在已经完全接受了他比赛的这一方面。 “我想当我来到这里，当我在奇才队时，我不知道自己的角色，”八村塁在湖人队赛季结束后说道。 “我们有很多不同的队友、教练，我只是不知道自己是什么样的球员。自从我来到这里，首先要向[菲尔·汉迪]致敬，他告诉我很多事情，告诉我我可以做些什么来留在这个联盟。不仅是这支球队，而且是留在这个联盟，尤其是我如何对这支球队产生影响。 “他谈到的第一件事就是三分球，我认为这对我来说是最重要的，因为说实话，我不太喜欢投三分球。对我来说，这不是我的事。对我来说，我不太喜欢它。但随着球队的变化以及 JJ 的教练方式，他希望我多投三分。这对我来说是一场不同的比赛，但我必须这么做。这是我认为改变的最大的事情。” 八村塁之前曾提到过前助理教练菲尔·汉迪对他作为球员的影响，所以他再次被培养在这里也就不足为奇了。八村塁付出的所有努力都得到了回报，这一点在季后赛中得到了充分体现。 这位前锋在季后赛中场均得到17.5分，高于常规赛的11.5分。此外，在湖人队的季后赛中，他的三分命中率达到了不可思议的 56.9%，并且在连续 13 场季后赛中三分命中率至少达到 50%，创下了纪录。八村塁在加入湖人队时可能并不知道自己的角色，但现在他已经弄清楚了，他已经成为联盟中最擅长这样做的人之一。 八村塁还没有考虑过自由球员市场 他的季后赛之旅无疑来得正是时候，因为八村将在今年夏天成为不受限制的自由球员，并且几乎肯定会在他的新合同上得到更多的钱。但在湖人队的赛季结束后，八村塁表示，他当时甚至没有考虑过成为自由球员。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

今年夏天，勒布朗·詹姆斯的大部分焦点都集中在他是否会重返 NBA 征战第 24 个赛季，如果是的话，他会在洛杉矶湖人队还是其他球队。 但无论如何，詹姆斯这个休赛期将会很忙，因为他宣布将于七月重返纽约狂热节。 7 月 16 日，即音乐节的第一天，詹姆斯将与印第安纳步行者队的特邀嘉宾主持人泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿一起录制他的“Mind The Game”播客的特别现场录音。 在 Instagram 上查看这篇文章 Fanatics (@fanatics) 分享的帖子 詹姆斯也将于 7 月 17 日露面，但他当天会做什么目前还不得而知。 在过去的几个赛季中，“Mind The Game”播客已成为所有体育运动中最受欢迎的播客之一。最初是与现任湖人队主教练 JJ 雷迪克共同主持的，现在詹姆斯与前两届 MVP 史蒂夫·纳什一起主持，史蒂夫·纳什是 NBA 有史以来最优秀的篮球头脑之一。这个以哈利伯顿为主角的特别版延续了一些智商最高的球员与詹姆斯一起深入剖析篮球的主题。 考虑到哈利伯顿在 2025 年 NBA 总决赛第七场比赛中遭遇跟腱撕裂，他被迫在场边观看整个赛季，因此他应该能提供很多帮助。他和詹姆斯详细分析了 NBA 发生的一切，应该会给所有到场的人带来愉快的体验。 当这一切发生时，詹姆斯下赛季的意图应该是从 6 月 30 日开始成为自由球员。詹姆斯在做出最终决定之前总是会花一些时间与家人在一起，但至少，他可能会做出是否继续其历史性职业生涯的决定，即使他的目的地不是。 Fanatics Fest 是世界第一的体育迷节，运动员、联盟、收藏家、品牌和球迷齐聚一堂，于 7 月 16 日至 19 日在纽约市贾维茨中心举行为期多天的体育和文化庆祝活动。 马库斯·斯马特希望再次与勒布朗·詹姆斯一起打球 虽然詹姆斯是今年夏天最大的自由球员之一，但湖人队还有许多其他人必须做出决定，其中之一就是马库斯·斯玛特，他拥有下赛季的球员选项。虽然不知道这个休赛期会发生什么，但斯玛特明确表示，他希望明年继续与詹姆斯并肩作战。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

洛杉矶湖人队主教练雷迪克和前锋范德比尔特之间的对峙虽然短暂，但仍然吸引了许多观看比赛的人的眼球。在湖人队常规赛最后一场对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的比赛中，雷迪克在第二节刚开始 16 秒时就叫了暂停，换下了范德比尔特，这让这位老将感到不舒服。 范德比尔特在暂停时会与雷迪克发生冲突，然后被拉走，尽管主教练立即淡化了这一事件，但仍然有人质疑两人之间的关系是否已经破裂。但范德比尔特明确表示，两人现在关系良好。 “我们最终取得了很好的成绩，”范德比尔特在湖人队赛季结束后说道。 “就像我说的，我们都是竞争对手。我们在最高水平上竞争，所以有时会出现紧张局势，出现分歧。这种情况时有发生。球员与球员、教练与球员、工作人员与球员。当我们都有一个像获胜这样的目标时，有时会发生分歧。就是这样。就像我说的，从那以后我们一直都很好。” 范德比尔特是一个总是充满活力和激情的人，而雷迪克在场边也非常热情和火热。在这种情况下，肯定会出现一些分歧，但重要的是这种分歧不会持续存在，而范德比尔特和雷迪克能够确保这种情况不会发生。 正如这位前锋所指出的，当每个人都有获胜的目标并且每晚都如此努力地竞争时，可能会出现一些分歧，仅此而已。两人都能够继续前进，现在在同一页面上进入夏天。 这充分说明了雷迪克，特别是作为一名刚刚开始职业生涯的年轻教练，他能够妥善处理这种情况。一个愤怒、沮丧的球员可能会在更衣室里造成破坏性的影响，但通过根据需要进行沟通和处理这一事件，没有出现持久的问题，这只是一次短暂的争吵，完全成为过去。 狄龙·布鲁克斯称贾里德·范德比尔特是 NBA 中“愚蠢”的球员之一 范德比尔特的打法有时会导致对方球员在场上不关心他，菲尼克斯太阳队的侧翼狄龙·布鲁克斯就是其中之一。布鲁克斯可以说是当今NBA最大的恶棍，他最近在直播中对范德比尔特进行了攻击，称他为联盟中最愚蠢的球员之一。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

即将到来的 2026 年 NBA 选秀预计将成为近年来最有天赋、最有深度的选秀之一，而许多人眼中的头号新秀是杨百翰大学前锋 AJ Dybantsa。这位年轻的新秀已经做好了最好的准备，因为他能够与洛杉矶湖人队巨星勒布朗·詹姆斯一起训练。 能够和篮球史上最伟大的篮球运动员之一一起锻炼并向他学习是大多数人从未经历过的。在与詹姆斯一起训练的过程中，有一件事特别引人注目。 “就是他的耐心，”迪班萨在 NBA 联合选秀大会上告诉记者。 “他非常有耐心，即使在训练时也是如此。如果是在低位，如果他在阅读防守，他就会很有耐心。这可能就是他能打这么长时间的原因。” 对于年轻球员来说，在成长过程中要学习的最重要的事情之一就是放慢比赛速度，不要急于求成。詹姆斯从小就能够做到这一点，而迪班萨在现阶段弄清楚这一点只会让他踏入NBA并能够从第一天起就打出高水平的表现。 但迪班萨并不是唯一一个了解到这一情况的人，他透露自己有一两个举动也给湖人队的超级巨星留下了深刻的印象。 “我做了什么让他感到惊讶的事吗？我的hesi，”迪班萨补充道。 “他说我的黑丝太疯狂了。就像他能看出的那样。他说，‘这就是他的举动。’我记得这一点。” 詹姆斯已经看到了一切，所以这一举动给他留下了深刻的印象，这说明了很多。迪班萨在杨百翰大学度过了一个极其令人印象深刻的赛季，场均贡献 25.5 分、6.8 个篮板和 3.7 次助攻，投篮命中率为 51%，许多人期望他在职业生涯开始后迅速成为 NBA 最好的年轻天才之一。 华盛顿奇才队赢得了 NBA 选秀乐透，大多数人的期望是他们会让迪班萨成为状元秀。如果詹姆斯确实对他们的一起训练印象深刻，那么奇才队很快就会拥有真正的基石来建立他们的球队。 “很多球队”已经就勒布朗·詹姆斯的事情与里奇·保罗进行了接触 当然，还有一个问题是迪班萨能否在NBA与詹姆斯对决，但这只有在这位41岁的球员回归打满24个赛季的情况下才会发生。目前还不清楚这是否会发生，但据报道，由于詹姆斯今年夏天成为一名不受限制的自由球员，许多球队已经在联系他的经纪人里奇·保罗。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

1988 年，洛杉矶湖人队希望重返 NBA 总决赛并卫冕冠军。洛杉矶在这十年间统治了西部联盟，但在这个时期，有许多年轻球队希望将湖人队从这一宝座上赶下来。 其中一支球队是犹他爵士队，由年轻的卡尔·马龙和约翰·斯托克顿二人组领导。另一方面，湖人队则由“魔术师”约翰逊、詹姆斯·沃西和卡里姆·阿卜杜勒-贾巴尔这三名老将领衔。 但他们也开始吸纳拜伦·斯科特和AC·格林等年轻球员。当两人在季后赛第二轮相遇时，这导致了一场激烈的系列赛。 爵士队在洛杉矶抢下第二场比赛并在第三场比赛中保持领先，以2-1领先。湖人队在第四场比赛中夺回主场，并在第五场比赛中取得系列赛领先优势，但爵士队在第六场比赛中占据主导地位，为大西部论坛的决胜局奠定了基础。 1988 年 5 月 21 日，湖人队向爵士队表明，他们还没有准备好迈出下一步，魔术师和斯科特带领湖人队以 109-98 获胜。 斯科特拿下29分、5个篮板和3次抢断，成为湖人队得分王。魔术师拿下23分和16次助攻，而沃西也拿下23分，帮助湖人队击败了斗志旺盛的年轻爵士队。 犹他爵士队状态不佳，马龙拿下31分和15个篮板，斯托克顿拿下29分和20次助攻。最终这还不够。 湖人队将在夺冠之路上打更多第七场比赛 这是湖人队连续三场第七场比赛中的第一场，因为他们距离十年来最后一个 NBA 冠军还有很长的路要走。但最终，尽管爵士队尽了最大努力，洛杉矶队还是在今晚取得了领先，并且这一主题将在季后赛剩余的比赛中继续下去。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

洛杉矶湖人队球星勒布朗·詹姆斯在这个休赛期要做很多重要的决定。众所周知，这位 41 岁的球员的生命即将结束，但他在 2025-26 赛季证明，如果他想继续前进，他仍然可以打出极高的水平。 如果詹姆斯确实复出，开始第 24 个 NBA 赛季，那么他将需要决定在哪里结束自己的职业生涯，是在湖人队还是在其他球队。面对如此多的悬而未决的事情，詹姆斯自然会慢慢地享受休赛期，然后再对自己的未来做出任何决定。 “我仍然处于慢慢来的时刻。我什至没有考虑太多，”詹姆斯在他的“Mind the Game”播客的最新一集中说道。 “显然，我明白我是一名自由球员，我可以控制自己的命运，在可预见的未来留在这支球队，或者去其他地方。但我还没有真正做到这一点。我什至还没有给我的家人度假，这将在阵亡将士纪念日之后发生。这是我脑海中最重要的事情。 “但我认为在六月的某个时候，六月下旬，随着七月的到来，自由球员市场开始启动，随着七月可能进入八月，我们开始有点感觉我的未来会是什么样子。如果继续玩我喜欢的游戏，我知道我仍然可以在游戏中打五分并打出高水平，或者如果不是。 “但我还没有达到那个程度，当我到达那里时，看看未来会发生什么将会很有趣，无论是否像我说的那样，在另一个 NBA 竞技场再呆一年。” 湖人队已经明确表示他们希望詹姆斯下赛季回归，而且这种感觉似乎是相互的。不过，要实现这一目标还有很多事情要做，其中最重要的是詹姆斯愿意为多少钱打球。 虽然湖人队有大量的薪金空间可供使用，但如果詹姆斯想要为接近顶薪打球，那么这些空间可能很快就会枯竭。这将是洛杉矶进入休赛期面临的最大问题，如果这位 22 次入选全明星的球员确实想慢慢来，也许要等到 8 月，那么在建立其余球员名单时，事情可能会变得复杂。 勒布朗·詹姆斯想要争夺总冠军 詹姆斯在休赛期明确表示的一件事是，如果他继续打球，他希望争夺另一个总冠军。 “是的，绝对……没办法。胜利是最重要的，因为你想每天都兴奋地去工作，”詹姆斯补充道。 “就像我之前说的，你想要为赢得胜利而感到兴奋。和一群有同样感觉并且努力不后退的人在一起。我知道这个赛季是一场漫长的马拉松，无论情况如何，但整个赛季过程中的那些基石对于你进入冲刺阶段（现在是季后赛）来说才是最重要的。 “所以是的，我不会去任何地方

洛杉矶湖人队的赛季在第二轮被卫冕冠军俄克拉荷马城雷霆队横扫而结束。尽管没有卢卡·东契奇，湖人队还是与雷霆队展开了一场战斗，勒布朗·詹姆斯领衔，奥斯汀·里维斯伤愈复出，尽其所能。 总的来说，被淘汰出季后赛是结束赛季的艰难方式，而且在大多数情况下，任何没有以总冠军结束的赛季按照湖人队的标准都是令人失望的。但詹姆斯并不这么认为，因为他认为湖人队已经最大化了自己，但只是没有足够的天赋来跟上雷霆队的步伐。 “我理解这一点。你会陷入拳击文化和类似的事物中，”詹姆斯在最新一期的“Mind the Game”播客中说道。 “但归根结底，如果情况确实如此，那么如果总是这样的话，那么他们都是失败者。因为每年只有一个冠军。我每年都会充满激情和钦佩地举起拉里·奥布莱恩奖杯。但我也意识到在那一年我属于哪支特定的球队。 “今年，我们奋力拼搏，发挥了球队的最大能力，但最终，如果我们完全诚实的话，我们的天赋已经被超越了。我们并没有劳累过度。他们的身体素质并没有超过我们。他们没有比我们聪明。我觉得我们的天赋被雷霆击败了。他们只是拥有更多的天赋，是的，他们可能还有更多的回合，其中一些智商可以发挥作用，但这种情况发生在整个比赛过程中，这对两支球队都是如此。 “我觉得有时候我们的智商超过了他们。但最终我们在人才方面失败了。雷霆队的人才比我们多得多。你可以明显地向他们致敬并理解这一点。但是，是的，你不能陷入其中，尤其是当你知道自己肯定人手不足的时候。” 即使东契奇健康，想要击败雷霆队也是一项非常艰巨的任务。但如果没有他，这基本上是不可能的。值得赞扬的是，湖人队从未放弃，每场比赛都坚持战斗，在过去三场比赛的下半场都保持领先。他们甚至在系列赛的前三场比赛中，每场都将背靠背 MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 的得分控制在 22 分或更少。 但詹姆斯是对的，洛杉矶没有足够的人才来跟上。阿杰·米切尔、贾里德·麦凯恩和卡森·华莱士等球员在雷霆队取得领先的过程中发挥了巨大作用，尽管湖人队竭尽全力战斗，但有时这还不够。 勒布朗·詹姆斯讨论进入自由球员市场的思维过程和时间表 现在詹姆斯的赛季已经结束，每个人都想知道他是否会继续他的职业生涯，如果是的话，他会为谁效力，因为他是一名不受限制的自由球员。湖人队的超级巨星最近讨论了他进入休赛期以及艰难时期的思维过程

今年夏天对于洛杉矶湖人队来说将是极其重要的一个夏天，但不仅仅是场上的进步和阵容的建设。随着新老板马克·沃尔特进入收购球队后的第一个休赛期，湖人队的整个管理层也准备进行重建。 该团队预计将在许多不同部门扩大人员规模，但最重要的补充可能是两名助理总经理，他们将与罗布·佩林卡一起工作。这方面的搜寻工作已经开始，据雅虎体育的亚伦·韦茨曼称，洛杉矶道奇队高管安德鲁·弗里德曼和法尔汉·扎伊迪已经参与了面试过程： 佩林卡最近告诉记者，球队将聘请两名总经理助理；一个关注人员，另一个关注战略和分析。 “我们已经开始广泛搜索并开始采访，”他说。这一过程由佩林卡和湖人队长期高管科特·兰比斯领导。但是，据联盟消息人士透露，弗里德曼和扎伊迪也参与了这一过程，其中至少有一个人通常会参加采访。 当沃尔特正式接任湖人队老板时，人们预计他会依靠道奇队内部的一些人，他们帮助他将球队打造为今天的样子。众所周知，两人都与佩林卡就不同的话题进行了多次对话，以帮助他做出与湖人队的决定，因此他们在这些采访中参加这些采访并不令人意外。 让不同的人参与这个过程将使他们所有人从不同的角度看待事物，并最终在他们加入的人身上做出正确的决定。确定这些助理总经理的招聘极其重要，因为在大楼里找到合适的员工将使他们能够正确地建立名册。湖人队内部的每个人都必须从上到下保持一致，弗里德曼和扎伊迪的参与增加了确保一切按照球队需要的方式排列的可能性。 罗伯·佩林卡：坦克不是湖人队的基础设施 如今，在 NBA 中，许多球队都会通过摆烂来给自己最好的机会获得状元秀，从而获得一名特权球员。然而，湖人队从来都不是走这条路的球队，佩林卡最近重申，坦克根本不是他们基础设施的一部分。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

马克·沃尔特接任球队老板后，洛杉矶湖人队致力于组建整个管理层。众所周知，湖人队在组织的不同部门方面都相当简单，包括球探和医疗等。 但这种情况不会持续太久，因为该组织已经在努力寻找前台的潜在员工。事实上，根据雅虎体育的亚伦·韦茨曼的说法，球队实际上向明尼苏达森林狼队助理总经理史蒂夫·西尼尔提供了篮球运营执行副总裁的职位，但他拒绝了这个职位并继续留在明尼苏达： 2 月份左右，扎伊迪开始打电话给代表前台和医务人员的代理人，询问他们的客户的情况。大约三个月后，湖人队向明尼苏达森林狼队的总经理助理史蒂夫·西尼尔提供篮球运营执行副总裁的职位。据多位联盟消息人士透露，高级拒绝发表评论，但决定留在森林狼队。 确切地知道为什么高级选择留在森林狼队会很有趣，因为加入湖人队担任执行副总裁将是他目前职位的晋升，而且肯定还会带来不错的加薪。 尽管如此，很高兴看到湖人队几个月来一直在尽职调查，试图找到合适的人选加入管理层。罗布·佩林卡 (Rob Pelinka) 是篮球运营总裁，同时也是总经理，因此这个角色很可能是第二把手，并与佩林卡密切合作，帮助建立这个阵容。 有趣的是，法尔汉·扎伊迪是给不同人员打电话的人，因为他更多地担任沃尔特的顾问，除了过去几个月与佩林卡的咨询之外，他不一定在湖人队担任正式职务。但他显然是湖人高层非常信任的人，随着球队继续寻找合适的人选，他的声音将很重要。 法尔汉·扎伊迪和安德鲁·弗里德曼参加湖人队助理总经理的采访 湖人队今年夏天计划聘请的两名助理总经理是在佩林卡手下工作的两名助理总经理，而扎伊迪和安德鲁·弗里德曼也都参加了这次招聘的面试。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

The NBA announced that Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has been named the 2025-26 Social Justice Champion, a trophy named after Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In addition to giving Adebayo the away, the NBA also will be making a $100,000 donation to his organization, Bam, Books & Brotherhood Foundation. That is the cool part about this award as they make a charitable donation selected by the award winner on their behalf. “Bam Adebayo has followed in the path of Kareem and other humanitarian leaders from throughout the league’s history by using his platform to create sustained impact for young people and families across South Florida and North Carolina,” said NBA Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer Mark Tatum in a statement. “From investing in educational access and youth mentorship to addressing food insecurity and creating spaces where young people can thrive, Bam has demonstrated a deep commitment to advancing opportunity and equity for others. We are proud to recognize him as the 2025-26 NBA Social Justice Champion.” Abdul-Jabbar’s life mission is to engage, empower and drive equality for communities that have been disadvantaged and under-resourced. This is what made the Lakers legend a one-of-one kind of person as he used his platform to pay back it to those who need more resources to succeed in life. To name a few of Adebayo’s actions, he provided mattresses, uniforms and school supplies for students at the SEED School of Miami, provided funding transportation for more than 19,000 students to attend the Miami Book Fair and hosting mentorship and enrichment opportunities for students to explore career pathways. There are more charitable actions that the Heat star has done and he certainly deserved Abdul Jabbar’s award. He was selected from a group of finalists that included Harrison Barnes (San Antonio Spurs), Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics), Tobias Harris (Detroit Pistons) and Larry Nance Jr. (Cleveland Cavaliers). Despite not winning awards, plenty of NBA players have taken advantage of their successes and paid it forward. They do not do it for notoriety, but they do it so communities have an equal opportunity to strive for success in life. All-time winners of Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s NBA Social Justice award The 2020-21 season was the inauguration of the NBA Social Justice award with former Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony winning it. Followed by Reggie Bullock (Dallas Mavericks), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves), Jrue Holiday (Boston Celtics) and now Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat) in 2026.

One of the most interesting pieces of the Los Angeles Lakers’ season was center Deandre Ayton. The former first overall pick came to L.A. looking to revitalize his career under the brightest lights and while there were some positive times, there were some rough stretches as well. But one thing that never changed was head coach JJ Redick’s belief in the big man and Ayton appreciated the support he received from Redick and the Lakers’ coaching staff. “He’s really proud of the group,” Ayton said of Redick after the Lakers were eliminated. “How much faith he had, this being his 17th season with an NBA team, he’s just really proud of each and every one of us. He really gave me some burdens off my shoulder. He showed in the media that he had my back as well. He’s a really good coach and I was just really honored to be coached by him and his staff.” Redick never hesitated to call Ayton out on certain areas if he was struggling, but even when doing that he always spoke highly of the center and expressed belief that he would help the team win when it came down to it. Having that level of belief from the head coach can do wonders for a player’s confidence. Ayton’s numbers certainly didn’t stand out compared to previous seasons, and of course there was the mid-season rant about his desired role within the team. But he deserves credit for eventually embracing his role as a rim-runner, rebounder and defender and Redick and the Lakers’ staff surely played a big role in him accepting that. Without his defensive effort in the first round of the playoffs against Houston Rockets All-Star Alperen Sengun, that series could have turned out much differently. Things didn’t go nearly as well for Ayton against the Oklahoma City Thunder as he struggled mightily, but it doesn’t change the fact that there were some successes along the way as well. With Ayton holding a player option for next season, it is unclear whether he will be returning to Lakers. But with how highly he speaks of Redick, that could play a role in his decision this offseason. Deandre Ayton calls Lakers season a ‘humbling’ experience Ayton also took some time to break down how his first season with the Lakers went in his eyes, calling it a humbling experience while being proud of himself for accepting the sacrifices he needed to make and embracing the role he needed to play.

For LeBron James to still be playing at such a high level in his 23rd NBA season at 41 years is truly unbelievable. But the work that James has to put in on his body to step on the court for the Los Angeles Lakers should not go unnoticed. James has put more miles on his body than anyone in NBA history and it is starting to catch up. James has had some lingering injuries and other physical issues that force him to spend much of his offseason in rehab and recovery mode. But that isn’t the case this year and James is very happy with that. “Just been chilling, man,” James said when asked how his offseason is going on the latest episode of his “Mind the Game” podcast. “Just taking the whole season in and getting the opportunity to recover. I had a couple bumps and bruises to end the season, but I think we both can agree that an offseason without rehab is a success after a long season, so I’ll take it.” Of course, James sat out the season opener for the first time in his NBA career this season, ultimately missing the first 14 games of the regular season. But once he did take the court, he missed just eight more the rest of the year and continued to be one of the driving forces of this Lakers team. James even seen diving on the floor for loose balls this season, literally putting his body on the line. James thrived once he embraced a third option role, but then stepped up as the primary creator once injuries took out Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, leading the Lakers to a playoff series victory over the Houston Rockets. Once athletes get older, it isn’t necessarily the games themselves that are most difficult, but often it is the recovery aspect as it just takes longer for the body to get to the level it needs to be. For James to put his body through all that he did this season, and just be able to relax instead of rehab now that the season is over, is truly an accomplishment. LeBron James discusses mindset, timeline going into free agency Whether James will return for a 24th NBA season remains unclear and he will be an unrestricted free agent this summer should he choose to continue his career. And he recently broke down his mindset going into the offseason as well as giving a rough timeline on when he could make his decision.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant has impacted numerous athletes across all sports, and one of them is Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain. McCain, who grew up in California and went to high school in Corona, spoke about his earliest basketball memories involving Bryant after he helped lead the Thunder to a Game 3 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals “The earliest (memory) of watching playoff basketball, I think I wanna say 2011 when I was seven,” McCain said after the Thunder’s Game 3 win. “I remember walking into my parents room and seeing, was that Lakers? Were the Lakers in there? Probably. I remember walking in there and seeing my brother and my dad watching it and I’m kind of lost at that age, I was lost. “But I remember watching and seeing Kobe. Kobe’s been my favorite player since I started playing basketball so I gravitated towards him and his mentality. So I think that was my earliest memory.” McCain was surprisingly traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Thunder at the deadline, and he has fit in perfectly off the bench for the defending-champs. While Oklahoma City already boasted incredible depth on their roster, adding McCain put them on a different level. After the Thunder fell down 15-0 on the road to the Spurs in Game 3, they went to their bench, where McCain, Alex Caruso and others completely flipped the game around. McCain wound up playing 27 minutes in the comeback victory and finished with 24 points and four rebounds on 10-of-21 shooting off the bench. For a 22-year-old to play without fear in a hostile environment like that is pretty impressive, and will again draw comparisons to Bryant as he had similar performances early in his career to help lead the Lakers to three straight titles from 2000-02. NBA Draft prospects likes to study Kobe Bryant It’s cool to see that young athletes still look up to Bryant and everything he accomplished as top NBA Draft prospect Caleb Wilson recently revealed the Lakers legend is one of the players he studies regularly. “Probably a lot of Kobe, a whole bunch of Kobe. That was my dad’s favorite player and mine too,” Wilson recently said. “Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace too, the Bad Boy Pistons. I mean, I watch a lot of Mike [Michael Jordan] too. I mean, lately I’ve been watching Giannis a lot. I feel like closer and closer I get to the NBA, my athleticism and my size translates me to his skillset. So, I watch a lot of him, but that’s pretty much it.” If you love our reporting, choose LakersNation.com as a preferred source on Google.

By the time Patrick Ewing entered the NBA as the top overall pick of the New York Knicks in 1985, Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was in the latter stages of his career. But even in those final few years, Abdul-Jabbar was still capable of some big nights, especially with his patented skyhook. Ewing experienced this first-hand as well, telling a story about trying to warn then-Knicks coach Rick Pitino that Abdul-Jabbar was still someone who needed extra attention defensively. “So Rick Pitino was our coach at this time, and we are getting ready to face the Lakers,” Ewing said during an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show. “And Rick was like ‘No we’re not gonna double Kareem, he’s getting older’ and I’m like, ‘Rick, he may be getting older but he is still good.’ So Kareem got heated, he got hot. And I don’t care what I did I could push him to the 3-point line he still was rolling that skyhook and I said ‘Rick what did I tell you? We need to double him.’” The skyhook is a shot that only Abdul-Jabbar was able to master and it led him to be the NBA’s greatest scorer, until LeBron James came along of course. But despite all of his accomplishments, both individually and team, Abdul-Jabbar doesn’t always get mentioned in those conversations about the greatest players of all-time, which Ewing doesn’t understand. “When they talk about greatest of all-time, they very rarely put him (Kareem) in there, and what he did was special,” Ewing added. “He was 7’2 and he developed a shot that was virtually unstoppable. I remember when Pat Riley came to the Knicks he tried to get me to develop a skyhook I’m like ‘Coach, that is not my game. The Captain was special, that’s his thing. I’m a jump shooter’… I just didn’t get the feel of a skyhook, I was more of a jump hook guy. I used the jump hook as one of the pieces to my game.” Ewing was far from alone in not being able to master that skyhook, but Abdul-Jabbar used it to the greatest success possible and the Lakers legend still stands high on the list of all-time greats because of it. Lakers not expected to have best trade offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to be on the move this offseason and the Lakers have been known to have interest in acquiring him. And while they have some trade assets, the Lakers are not expected to be able to compete with some of the best offers that can be made for Antetokounmpo this summer.

进入今年的季后赛，布朗尼·詹姆斯出人意料地成为洛杉矶湖人队的轮换球员。鉴于卢卡·东契奇和奥斯汀·里维斯的受伤，主教练J·J·雷迪克需要一名替补后卫来站出来。 詹姆斯只打了上场时间，但在对阵休斯敦火箭队的第三场比赛中，他取得了季后赛的首个得分。对于一名年轻球员来说，参加季后赛可以极大地鼓舞士气，他讨论了自己从中学到的东西。 “我可以打出更高水平的比赛，”詹姆斯在湖人队被淘汰后说道。 “这就是我过去几年想要证明的事情，今年我比去年更有能力做到这一点。这对我来说是美好的一年，我对此感觉很好。” 此外，他的父亲勒布朗·詹姆斯在攻防转换中给了他一个空中接力，而那是在湖人队的比赛中。在又一个历史性的父子时刻之后，这一次是在季后赛，布朗尼谈到了他是多么享受与勒布朗分享那一刻。 “这太棒了，”前南加州大学特洛伊人说。 “总的来说，季后赛经验，我在大学时无法参加三月份的比赛，所以这比这提前了一步，并且能够在这样做的同时做出贡献和产出对我来说是令人惊奇的。这是我一直想要的。” 当布朗尼为自己的第三个赛季做准备时，这将是布朗尼年轻职业生涯的关键时刻，因为他的第四年是球队选择。不幸的是，湖人队最近一直在努力寻找富有成效的选秀权，道尔顿·克内希特就是最近的一个例子。 这位 21 岁的球员作为控球手和三分射手仍有需要改进的地方。如果雷迪克下赛季要让他上场更长时间，那么这些部门就需要显着增长。 通过参加季后赛，他体验到了在这个级别的比赛中需要什么，这可能会激励他进步。像选秀权这样的成本控制资产在当今的 CBA 中非常有价值，如果布朗尼以 220 万美元成为轮换球员，没有人会抱怨。 布朗尼·詹姆斯对勒布朗·詹姆斯的未来“一无所知” 湖人队即将迎来一个重要的休赛期，其中一个决定就是勒布朗成为一名不受限制的自由球员。在他职业生涯的最后阶段，勒布朗喜欢花大量时间思考他的篮球未来。 与家人的对话起着至关重要的作用，布朗尼直言不讳地表示，他“不知道”他的父亲会做什么，无论他是继续留在湖人队、在其他地方打球还是退役。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

本赛季，洛杉矶湖人队只有一名球员参加了每场常规赛比赛，那就是前锋杰克·拉拉维亚。无论是首发还是替补，拉拉维亚全年都是轮换阵容中值得信赖的成员，尽管他的一些缺点在季后赛中才真正开始显现出来。 本赛季是拉拉维亚首次进入季后赛，他的挣扎，尤其是投篮方面的挣扎，变得更加严重。最终，侧翼队退出了轮换阵容，在球队对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的最后两场比赛中没有上场。但拉拉维亚并没有消极地看待它，而是将其作为进入休赛期的一个跳跃点。 “每个赛季都有高潮和低谷，”拉拉维亚在第四场比赛失利后说道。 “显然，我本赛季打满了82场比赛，实现了几个目标。这正是我在联盟头几年出于健康原因需要看到的东西。我认为我在某些领域度过了一个不错的赛季，我认为在其他领域我可以做很多事情。 “显然现在看到季后赛的情况以及类似的事情，在过去两场比赛中失去了轮换阵容，这让我很兴奋。并不是消极地看待它，但我很高兴进入这个休赛期并做我需要做的事情。显然，今年我没有以我想要的任何方式投篮，连续几个月投篮命中率低于 30% 是不可能的，我知道我是一个比这更好的投手。因此，进入这个休赛期就要做一些具体的事情，以便能够将其带到明年。” 虽然拉拉维亚在防守和能量方面给球队带来了很多积极的影响，但他的三分球命中率为职业生涯最低的 32.1%，而到了季后赛，这个数字下降到了 28.6%。季后赛中的轮换总是会受到限制，不幸的是拉拉维亚并没有做出足够的努力来弥补他进攻输出的不足。 但这种心态值得鼓励，今年夏天他无疑会投入大量工作来改进这些需要的领域。拉拉维亚是湖人队为数不多的下赛季合同球员之一，如果他能够在自己所表现出的积极的基础上再接再厉，并在需要的地方变得更好，他将能够在明年为这支球队带来影响。 湖人队的奥斯汀·里维斯在道奇队医务人员的帮助下康复了斜伤 这个休赛期整个湖人队的组织将充满变化，包括他们的设施。医疗设施将得到升级，但与此同时，一些球员将不得不与道奇体育场的工作人员一起工作，这显然是奥斯汀·里夫斯在从二级斜拉伤中恢复过来时所做的。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

当洛杉矶湖人队总经理罗布·佩林卡决定聘请 J·J·雷迪克作为球队的下一任主教练时，它也带来了一些风险。雷迪克第一次获得担任主教练的机会，此前他没有任何 NBA 执教经验，但他的篮球知识绝对脱颖而出。 在新秀赛季，雷迪克赢得了 50 场比赛，然后在第二年取得了 53 场胜利。今年伤病发挥了作用，雷迪克让球队保持团结确实令人印象深刻。这位拥有 15 年经验的前老将克服了许多障碍，详细介绍了他在担任主教练的两年里的成长之路。 “我认为我在很多方面都成长了，”雷迪克在赛季末的新闻发布会上说道。 “但我认为谈论这个对我来说是不公平的。你可能会得到更好的答案，圣让、J-罗布、博、罗布，以及我去年在这里的球员。 “我想说的是，信心水平，尤其是在游戏中，能够保持清晰，我认为这是今年真正的增长领域。不管你信不信——尽管每次都会被剪掉——我认为我的情绪控制得更好了。我不认为我整个赛季都对你们说过任何尖刻的评论。也许有一个？说实话，这就是我喜欢教练的原因。总是有成长的空间。我很兴奋。 “我希望休赛期能在 6 月 21 日结束，或者总决赛结束的任何日期，但我很高兴能有另一个机会在这个休赛期成长，并再次为作为教练的又一年的成长做好准备。” 湖人队一直缺少文化和身份，导致前几年成绩平平。拥有一位受人尊敬的人物来领导球队是至关重要的，尽管情况不断波动，雷迪克仍然得到了所有轮换球员的支持。 虽然每年都有望获得冠军，但洛杉矶正在再次迈向争夺冠军的步伐。卢卡·东契奇因整个季后赛的缺席而受伤，但现在他们意识到需要做些什么来进一步改善他们的阵容。 雷迪克在第二次季后赛中从战术角度表现出了巨大的进步，现在只需要更适合的双向球员来执行这些比赛计划。希望通过阵容的重组，湖人队能够在雷迪克的第三年取得更大的进步。 JJ雷迪克概述了湖人队需要改进的防守和进攻领域 当湖人队在第二轮对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队时，湖人队明显处于人才劣势。当他们与卫冕冠军竞争时，双方都需要改进。 雷迪克讨论了进攻和防守方面需要改进的地方，他希望球队能够在今年夏天解决这个问题。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

没有人确切知道 1991 年的洛杉矶湖人队会发生什么。卡里姆·阿卜杜尔·贾巴尔退役，留下“魔术师”约翰逊和詹姆斯·沃西成为老将领袖。 此外，波特兰开拓者队和圣安东尼奥马刺队等球队在洛杉矶占据整个 20 世纪 80 年代的统治地位后，也希望接管西部联盟。然而，湖人队并没有就此沉寂，他们重返西部决​​赛。 他们将与头号种子开拓者队对决，开拓者队由未来的名人堂成员克莱德·德雷克斯勒带领。洛杉矶队立即发出了一条消息，在客场拿下了系列赛的第一场比赛，然后放弃了第二场比赛。 这导致了大西部论坛上最重要的第三场比赛，魔术队和沃西队在 1991 年 5 月 24 日取得了巨大的胜利。 沃西拿下湖人队25分和7个篮板，约翰逊拿下14分和19次助攻，湖人队以106-92击败开拓者队，系列赛2-1领先。 尽管老将们一路领先，但湖人队今晚的表现却很均衡，五名先发球员的得分都上双。萨姆·帕金斯得到18分和9个篮板，弗拉德·迪瓦茨得到16分、7个篮板和3次盖帽，拜伦·斯科特得到14分。 开拓者队今晚的表现还不够，德雷克斯勒拿下 18 分、8 个篮板和 6 次助攻。杰罗姆·科尔西拿下开拓者队最高的19分，特里·波特则全能拿下16分、7次助攻和4次抢断。 湖人队将晋级NBA总决赛 当然，湖人队随后在六场比赛中击败了开拓者队，在 11 年内第八次晋级 NBA 总决赛，这是一项真正杰出的成就，很少有人能够匹敌。 您订阅了我们的 YouTube 频道吗？这是观看球员采访、赛事独家报道、参加现场表演等的最佳方式！

这是马克·沃尔特作为洛杉矶湖人队大股东的第一个休赛期，他正在努力扩大球队的运营。从管理层开始，总经理罗布·佩林卡透露，他们正在面试希望增加两名助理总经理的候选人。 到目前为止，尚未做出任何决定，但沃尔特和他的公司似乎正在进行广泛的搜索。困难在于试图吸引这些候选人摆脱目前的处境，因此他们通过 HoopsHype 的 Michael Scotto 表达了对来自不同团队的一些名字的兴趣： 联盟消息人士告诉 HoopsHype，“洛杉矶湖人队已经对管理层空缺的几位候选人表示了兴趣，包括森林狼队助理总经理史蒂夫·西尼尔、76人队助理总经理普洛斯珀·卡朗瓦、热火队球员人事副总裁埃里克·阿姆斯勒、爵士队球员人事副总裁巴特·泰勒等。” 距离NBA选秀还有一个月的时间，湖人队可能会迫切需要填补管理层的空缺。球队喜欢在选秀前填补空缺职位，这样每个人都能达成共识并立即投入工作。 一个值得注意的名字是史蒂夫·西尼尔（Steve Senior），因为他是明尼苏达州建立双向球员名单的一员。这是洛杉矶目前所缺乏的，因为他们需要引进更多的双向人才，并试图远离单向球员。 此外，这是一个重要的休赛期，洛杉矶可能有多达八名自由球员，其中奥斯汀·里维斯和勒布朗·詹姆斯位居榜首。该组织有很多迫在眉睫的决定，因此希望在草案出台时基础设施已经到位。 森林狼队助理总经理拒绝了湖人队管理层的职位 如前所述，很难试图将某人从目前的职位上撬开。对于湖人队来说幸运的是，他们拥有一个标志性的品牌，而洛杉矶对于所有职业运动来说都是一个巨大的市场。 因此，洛杉矶需要拿出强有力的宣传来完善其管理层。道奇队的法尔汉·扎伊迪（Farhan Zaidi）的任务是寻找潜在候选人，而高级似乎是一个关键名字。 然而，在五月的某个时候，湖人队向高级球员提供了篮球运营执行副总裁的职位，他最终决定留在明尼苏达。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

在第二轮输给谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大和俄克拉荷马城雷霆队之后，洛杉矶湖人队球星勒布朗·詹姆斯回顾了这四场系列赛。 主教练 JJ 雷迪克制定了一个出色的比赛计划来遏制这位背靠背 MVP，但俄克拉荷马城有着明显的天赋优势。詹姆斯离开时认为吉尔杰斯-亚历山大应该像密尔沃基雄鹿队两届 MVP 和冠军扬尼斯·阿德托昆博一样受到防守的尊重。 “如果你没有像对待扬尼斯那样尊重他……当扬尼斯拿到篮板时，每个人都会谈论回来给扬尼斯传球。回来后，做好防守和传球，因为如果没有的话，他会立即冲破空档，并且马上就到了篮筐上。从身体的角度来看，你不会那样看谢伊，因为你看着他，你会想，好吧，他不是 6 尺 11 的身高”，他不是詹姆斯在他的“Mind the Game”播客的最新一集中说道：“他像字母哥一样体格强壮，但他的身体素质并不像字母哥下坡时那么强。” “但是，当你在场上时，你就会意识到他绝对是这样的。他用大肩膀，他用手臂，当他让你后退时，他用你的速度来对付你，现在他用你的速度来对付你。所以，如果你没有带着两个人、三个人一起上篮，让谢伊带球上篮，他就会填补这些空缺。他会冲向篮筐，然后他会完成得分，或者他会走上罚球线，因为现在你失去了平衡。 “所以，你必须在空场上以扬尼斯级别的尊重对待他，这只是第一部分。然后你也必须在半场比赛中考虑到他。但是，你必须在他开始之前就这样做，因为他实在是太棒了。” 这就是吉尔吉斯-亚历山大凭借操纵防守的能力成为NBA高层天才的原因。如果对手不遵守纪律，不亮牌，他就会利用这些缺点来对付他们，无论是否有良好的观看体验。 洛杉矶队做得很好，让雷霆队的 MVP 看到了多个身体，挤满了他的空间，但这也让切特·霍姆格伦、前湖人队亚历克斯·卡鲁索和阿贾伊·米切尔等其他球员能够继续前进。当然，对手球队可以阻止吉尔吉斯-亚历山大得到25分或30分，但当雷霆队的角色球员上场时，他们如何遏制他们是一个尚未解决的难题。 勒布朗·詹姆斯很高兴无需康复即可进入休赛期 詹姆斯在评估自己所有的选择时，他的篮球未来悬而未决，但最重要的是，他从艰难的第 23 个赛季中解脱出来。虽然詹姆斯因坐骨神经痛缺席了今年的前 14 场比赛，但他在这一年结束时并没有出现任何迫在眉睫的健康问题。 对于 41 岁的他来说，这是一项巨大的壮举，他本人也很高兴能够享受休赛期而无需进行康复治疗。 如果您喜欢我们的报道，请选择 LakesNation.com 作为 Google 上的首选来源。

Luka Doncic’s first full season with the Los Angeles Lakers was an exceptional one, and he is now being recognized for it. The league has announced the 2025-26 All-NBA teams, and Doncic made First Time along with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama and Cade Cunningham: A global media panel of 100 voters selected the 2025-26 Kia All-NBA Team. The complete voting results pic.twitter.com/7NbX05bwr2 — NBA Communications (@NBAPR) May 24, 2026 The first four spots were pretty straight forward as Doncic, Gilgeous-Alexander, Jokic and Wembanyama all had MVP-caliber seasons. The Lakers star wound up finishing fourth with Gilgeous-Alexander winning it for the second straight year. That left one spot available, and it was claimed by Cunningham over the likes of Jaylen Brown, Kawhi Leonard and other deserving candidates. For Doncic, this is his sixth First Team All-NBA nod in just eight total seasons after being drafted third overall in 2018. That puts him in the top 20 in league history despite being just 27 years of age. LeBron James, of course, has the most in NBA history with 13, followed by Kobe Bryant with 11. Doncic almost was not eligible for All-NBA this season as he fell one game short of reaching the 65-game minimum when he hurt his left hamstring near the end of the regular season. He filed an Extraordinary Circumstances appeal though after missing a pair of games for the birth of his daughter, and that was accepted to make him eligible. Doncic’s 64 games definitely making him worthy of First Team All-NBA as he led the league in scoring with 33.5 points per game while shooting 47.6% from the field and 36.6% from 3-point range. He also added 7.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game. During the season, Doncic was the only player in the West with multiple Player of the Month honors, including March when he led the Lakers to an impressive 15-2 record. L.A. wound up winning 53 games to earn the fourth seed in the West despite numerous players missing significant time due to injury. While Doncic wasn’t healthy to end the year, he is already back on his diet and workout plan to get ready for next season, where he and the Lakers can hopefully take the next step towards contention. 2025-26 All-NBA Teams First Team Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons Luka Doncic, Los Angeles Lakers Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs Second Team Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks Kevin Durant, Houston Rockets Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers Third Team Jalen Duren, Detroit Pistons Chet Holmgren, Oklahoma City Thunder Jalen Johnson, Atlanta Hawks Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers Jamal Murray, Denver Nuggets If you love our reporting, choose LakersNation.com as a preferred source on Google.

Since Mark Walter took over as majority owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, the organization has expanded in different areas. One thing Rob Pelinka made clear after the team was eliminated from the playoffs was that the Lakers would continue to add to their front office, particularly adding two assistant general managers to work under him. And it appears they have found their first one as they are hiring Rohan Ramadas away from the New Orleans Pelicans organization, per Shams Charania of ESPN: The Los Angeles Lakers are hiring former New Orleans Pelicans vice president of strategy and operations Rohan Ramadas as an assistant general manager under president Rob Pelinka, sources tell me and @mcten. The Lakers have interviewed candidates to bolster their front office. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) May 25, 2026 Ramadas began working full-time with the Pelicans in 2024, first under the title of senior director of analytics and innovation before switching to vice president of basketball operations and strategy in 2025. Before working with the Pelicans, Ramadas spent 12 years working for the Aerospace Corporation in the engineering space. While he didn’t start full-time with New Orleans until 2024, he was with them for seven years prior as an analytics consultant and also was a draft analyst with the Miami Heat in 2016-17. With the Aerospace Corporation, Ramadas worked with U.S. Space Force and NASA as a rocket guidance, navigation, control, and mission design engineer. He is a native of Cupertino, CA and holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in astronautical engineering from the University of Southern California. Rob Pelinka explains what he wants in Lakers assistant GMs Prior to making this hire, Pelinka explained exactly what he was looking for in the Lakers’ two assistant general managers and how they will differ from each other. “The two biggest positions that I mentioned is we will hire two assistant general managers, that’s the plan. One of those general managers would be sort of over player, draft and evaluation processes. That’s pro scouting, draft scouting, player development. The other assistant GM will be more on the strategy side, with the cap, analytics and data,” Pelinka said. “Again, not that we’ve had holes in these places, we’ve got a great team of people that work incredibly hard. It’s just we want to add more to that for both those assistant GM positions. We have started a wide search and have begun interviews but haven’t hired out either of those.” Considering Ramadas is on the strategy and analytics side, the other assistant general manager will be more involved with player and draft evaluations.

Luka Doncic was piecing together an MVP-caliber season for the Los Angeles Lakers when he unfortunately suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain at the end of the regular season. There was cautious optimism that maybe if the Lakers made it far enough, he could return, but it did not materialize. While the Oklahoma City Thunder probably would have defeated the Lakers even with Doncic, him missing that series is certainly a swing factor. Seeing how L.A. played in March, who knows what would have happened, as the Lakers star thought they could contend for a championship. “Honestly, I think this season obviously didn’t end how we wanted, but I feel like the last push we made at the end of the regular season, we thought we could compete for a championship,” Doncic said after the Lakers were eliminated by the Thunder. “I thought we had a great team, we had great chemistry. Playing with AR and ‘Bron was an unbelievable experience. They’re two great players and it was really fun to share a court with them.” Following a 15-2 record in the month of March, the vibes clearly shifting and everyone believed in the way they were playing. Doncic reminisced and spoke to how amazing of a run it was for the Lakers. “It was pretty amazing,” he continued. “I think the feeling in the locker room was very good. Every time we stepped on the court, everybody was fighting. And most importantly, everybody was having fun. I think the run we made was pretty special. Obviously for me and AR, got injured at the worst moment. That was a little bit of bad luck.” The Slovenian guard was a huge reason behind that winning month, averaging 37.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 2.3 steals on 49.2% from the field and 39.2% from 3-point range. It felt like he was heating up at the right time before the playoffs and unfortunately suffered his hamstring injury. As the Lakers look to make tweaks for next season, hopefully it is a more balanced roster to alleviate a bit of the offensive responsibility for Doncic. While his stats are nothing short of remarkable, preserving his production and health for the postseason should be the most important thing. There is a blueprint to winning with Doncic, which was shown in the 2023-24 season when he made it to the NBA Finals with the Dallas Mavericks. Hopefully, general manager Rob Pelinka can piece together a roster to better suit his franchise star and prevent workload injuries. Luka Doncic finished fourth in 2025-26 NBA MVP voting The Lakers pushed a social media campaign for Doncic to win MVP, but it was a tall mountain to climb, especially once he got injured. While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won the award, it felt like voters were not sold on Doncic’s season, resulting in him finishing fourth in MVP voting.

There are a lot of names that are brought up when discussing the greatest rivals of Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant. But one who isn’t mentioned nearly enough is former All-Star guard Richard Hamilton, who spent the majority of his 14-year NBA career with the Detroit Pistons. Bryant and Hamilton were actually part of the same high school basketball class and grew up together just outside of Philadelphia. And during those years, the two developed a long-term friendship that lasted all the way up until Kobe’s untimely passing. Hamilton recently opened up about his friendship with Bryant, noting that the two had many conversations growing up and how the Pistons’ victory over the Lakers in the 2004 NBA Finals was a sweet bit of revenge from losing to Kobe in high school, via NBC Sports Philadelphia: “Being two kids from small towns outside of Philadelphia, we still had to go to Philadelphia to get our respect. Respect wasn’t given to us and that happens especially when you’re not city kids. So we had a lot of internal conversations about how to make it and how we gotta be even tougher because going into the city, kids just thought that we wasn’t one of them. So we gotta come out and be that much better and we gotta compete at a high level. So for him to have success at Lower Merion, they beat us in the district championship which I was very upset about and I wish I could have that moment back, but aye, it is what it is. But to be roommates during AAU events, to have them conversations on what it’s gonna be like if we both make it to the pros. Playing in the McDonald’s All-American Game together and competing against all the great talent. Him going straight from high school and me going to college for three years. And my first phone call was to Kobe about what are the expectations that I’m gonna have when coming to the NBA. So them conversations are conversations that I hold close to my heart. And to your point, to be able to play in the NBA Championship against each other, and get my get back at that game, that’s something that is super special for myself. But that’s my brother, I love him to death. But to be able to share them type of moments, from a 16-year old kid all the way to both of us being NBA Champions, that don’t happen. It just doesn’t happen and it’s something special that I keep close to my heart.” It is always the things behind the scenes, that most fans don’t see, that really forge these types of friendships. As Hamilton said both he and Bryant were kids with basketball dreams who had to earn their respect in Philly and that bonded them together for many years. Even though they went through many battles on the court, that connection off of it lasted a lifetime and those memories Hamilton has of the Lakers legend will never go away. Lakers star LeBron James opens up about his motivation growing up LeBron James was still a young kid when Kobe Bryant and Richard Hamilton were dominating the Philadelphia high school basketball s

On May 25, 1984, the Los Angeles Lakers traveled to Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum for a potential elimination game against the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals. The Lakers held a 3-2 lead and looked to finish off their rival on the road. It was a tightly-contested first quarter of play, as both teams nearly matched each other shot-for-shot. Nevertheless, the Lakers carried a one-point lead into the second quarter. Phoenix mounted a run, however, and got the best of Los Angeles’ bench corps. The Suns outscored the Lakers by eight and entered halftime with a seven-point advantage. Facing adversity, the Lakers quickly answered back in the third and managed to cut the deficit to one with just 12 minutes left of regulation. While Phoenix put forth their best effort, it was Los Angeles to come out on top by a final score of 99-97 — and subsequently advancing to the NBA Finals for the third consecutive year. Magic Johnson contributed one of his best performances of the season in the form of a triple-double. In 43 minutes, he tallied 16 points on 7-of-13 shooting with 13 assists and 11 rebounds. James Worthy led the Lakers with 22 points while Michael Cooper, despite shooting only 2-of-11 from the field, filled up the stat sheet with 10 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in 32 minutes of action. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar just missed a double-double with 13 points and nine boards while Byron Scott added scoring depth off the bench with 13 points as well. For the Suns, Larry Nance saw the most time on the court with 42 minutes. He contributed 11 points with 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks to boot. Walter Davis (26) and Maurice Lucas (21) both exceeded the 20-point threshold, with the latter collecting a game-high 13 boards, but it was to no avail as the Lakers’ top-10 defensive unit prevailed.

One position the Los Angeles Lakers will presumably be targeting this offseason is the center spot. In particular, the team will be looking to add a rim-running big man that fits well next to Luka Doncic, who has thrived with those types of centers in the past. And with free agency approaching soon one name that has reportedly emerged as a real target for the Lakers is Robert Williams III, who has spent the last three years with the Portland Trail Blazers: “The one name that basically picked up the most buzz, a lot of teams in Chicago last week, was Robert Williams. That’s the name,” ESPN’s Bobby Marks recently reported. “You have to be cautious with that because of the games and availability, minutes. That’s the one guy who, I don’t want to say neutralized Victor (Wembanyama), but he guarded him probably one of the best in the playoffs in the first round. That would be the guy. “He’s probably one of the top center unrestricted free agents out there and I think he gives you that shot blocker, rim protector, that guy that can be a lob threat for Luka. Now the question is what’s the cost? Is it $12-13 million? I think that’s kind of where his range is, but there will be other teams that also see that.” Williams certainly fits the mold of being a lob threat on offense and rim protector on defense. When he has been healthy he has proven to be an effective player and he has plenty of postseason experience as well after spending the first five years of his career with the Boston Celtics. But health and availability has been the issue for Williams throughout his career. He has played in just 85 games over the last three seasons in Portland and has never played more than 61 games in one year. Williams has had multiple knee surgeries throughout his career and lower body injuries are always even more of a concern for bigs. That being said, Williams is coming off his best and healthiest season in years and if he can be brought in on a reasonable deal, he is exactly the type of big man that would be perfect playing next to Doncic. Lakers reportedly hire Rohan Ramadas as assistant general manager The Lakers are focused on building out their front office staff this offseason including hiring two assistant general managers and the franchise has reportedly found their first one in Rohan Ramadas, formerly of the New Orleans Pelicans, whose focus will be on the strategy, data and analytics side of things.

One of the main focuses for the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason is building out their front office staff. Rob Pelinka said the team planned on hiring two assistant general managers this offseason and the franchise has already landed on one, reportedly hiring former New Orleans Pelicans vice president of strategy and operations Rohan Ramadas. Ramadas’ focus will be in that same area for the Lakers in terms of strategy, salary cap, and analytics and he is certainly qualified for the role with one person calling him a literal rocket scientist, via Shams Charania and Dave McMenamin of ESPN: “He’s a literal rocket scientist,” a Pelicans source told ESPN. While working for the Pelicans, Ramadas implemented AI and coded models to aid the front office, the source told ESPN. This isn’t just hyperbole coming from the source as, after graduating from the Univeristy of Southern California, Ramadas spent more than a decade working with the Aerospace Corporation before joining the Pelicans. Now, he comes to the Lakers where he will play a similar role as he did in New Orleans, helping the front office and opening their eyes to different things via his different models that he will implement. It is well known that the Lakers had a bit of a bare bones front office staff, especially when it came to the analytics department. And that is one of the areas where Mark Walter taking over as owner will benefit this franchise as they will now be able to build full departments in different areas throughout the organization that will greatly benefit everyone from the players to the coaching staff and beyond. The Lakers will still be hiring one more assistant general manager who will be focused more on the scouting and development side of things and with that in place the Lakers front office will be completely equipped to utilize the resources available to them under the ownership of Walter. And that will only make this franchise that much better from top to bottom. Luka Doncic believes Lakers were championship contenders before injuries Once all of the pieces in the front office come together it will allow for them to properly build a roster around superstar Luka Doncic that can compete for a championship. And Doncic himself doesn’t believe they were far off as he felt this season’s squad were championship contenders during their late-season stretch before being hit with injuries that marred the end of the year.

The center position is one of need for the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason and when it comes to free agency, the top name available is Jalen Duren of the Detroit Pistons. At just 22 years old, Duren is one of the best young bigs in the league, and now he could be in line for an even bigger payday this summer. Duren was named to the All-NBA Third Team and with that accomplishment, he is now eligible for an even larger contract in free agency worth up to 30% of the salary cap, via Alex Schiffer of Front Office Sports: A few minutes ago, Jalen Duren landed on the All-NBA third team making him eligible for an additional $37 million on his next contract this summer, adding some intrigue to his pending free agency: https://t.co/2sfwJrwIcw — Alex Schiffer (@Alex__Schiffer) May 24, 2026 Duren is a restricted free agent, so the Pistons can match any contract he receives from another team, but they can also offer him more than anyone else. With that All-NBA selection, Duren can now receive a five-year deal from the Pistons for $287 million, starting at $49.5 million next year. The most the Lakers or anyone else could offer the big man is a four-year deal worth $177.4 million, which would start at $42.25 million next season. The question now is whether Duren will command that much after an extremely disappointing playoff run for the Pistons. He was more than deserving of his All-NBA selection after averaging 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds while shooting 65% from the field during the regular season. But those numbers plummeted to just 10.2 points and 8.5 rebounds on 51.4% from the field in the postseason and he often saw himself on the bench in the final minutes of games. The Lakers are one of the few teams who have the salary cap space to offer Duren such a contract, and he is the type of big man that would fit well next to Luka Doncic. But the front office will need to decide whether he is worth that kind of money and even still, the Pistons could match the deal. Regardless, Duren’s potential price tag has gone up and that could affect whether the Lakers really target him this summer. Robert Williams III viewed as potential Lakers free agency target Another big man who has begun to emerge as a potential target for the Lakers in free agency is Robert Williams III, who is an unrestricted free agent and is coming off his best, and healthiest, season in years with the Portland Trail Blazers.

在西部决赛第一场比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队以 2 加时赛 122-115 苦战战胜俄克拉荷马城雷霆队。凭借维克多·温班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的精彩表现，可以肯定地说，马刺队的超级巨星在季后赛对阵切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 的比赛中占据了主导地位。 说切特·霍姆格伦在第一场比赛中被击败是轻描淡写的。与维克托·文巴尼亚马的41分、24个篮板和3次盖帽相比，霍姆格伦的8分、8个篮板和2次盖帽令人失望。就此而言，ESPN 的肯德里克·帕金斯在《体育中心》上猛烈抨击霍姆格伦没有亲自看待这场比赛。 “他能尝试吗？这是第一件事。他能尝试吗？” 帕金斯批评道。 “因为今晚我看到他在躲避烟雾。我看到他在外线防守其他人。我没有看到太多他在一对一防守温比的动作，而且他知道牛肉从高中时代就已经存在了。” 在本节早些时候，帕金斯谈到了温班亚马在对阵雷霆队时的表现，就好像他对他们怀有怨恨一样。尽管他淡化了与切特·霍姆格伦的竞争，这种竞争可以追溯到国际篮联 U-19 时代，但显然温班亚马认为这是针对他个人的。 “为了让他有机会，切特·霍姆格伦必须亲自面对这件事，尤其是在篮球的防守方面，”帕金斯继续说道。 “他必须证明为什么他能成为 DPOY 跑者中最顶尖的球员之一。今晚，他将很难入睡。” “他必须认真对待这件事，因为温比不会停止，”他补充道。 “我要再说一遍。切特，如果你正在看这个，如果他的家人正在看这个，维克多·温班亚马不喜欢你。你需要对他有同样的感觉。” 考虑到比赛的结果，很难反驳肯德里克·帕金斯的说法。考虑到切特·霍姆格伦在攻防两端的表现，这位雷霆大个子本赛季在对阵维克托·温班亚马时经常表现不佳。 在常规赛四次面对温班亚马的比赛中，霍姆格伦未能每次都得分超过他，尽管他在最近两次比赛中成功地在篮板球上超过了马刺队的大个子。总的来说，本赛季对阵马刺队的比赛中，霍姆格伦场均贡献10.5分、8.0个篮板和1.5个盖帽，霍姆格伦在对阵马刺队的比赛中的挣扎是显而易见的。 尽管切特·霍姆格伦在比赛的大部分时间里都表现不佳，但他还是在常规赛结束时对温巴尼亚马做出了关键的拦网，迫使马刺队加时赛(108-108)。尽管如此，考虑到周一晚上他们的表现的巨大差异，霍姆格伦的影响力并不是很大。 不用说，这种表现对霍姆格伦来说很糟糕，特别是考虑到雷霆队作为一个整体在进攻端努力维护自己的地位。他场均贡献 18.6 分、9.1 个篮板、1.8 个盖帽和 1.4 个抢断，内线投篮命中率为 60.0%

维克多·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 今晚打出了他整个 NBA 职业生涯中最好的一场比赛，在 2026 年 NBA 西部决赛第一场对阵雷霆队的比赛中，他投篮 25 投 14 中（投篮命中率 56.0%），三分线外投篮 1 胜 2 负（投篮命中率 50.0%），砍下 41 分、24 个篮板、3 次助攻和 3 次盖帽。 马刺队的全明星球员在整场比赛中统治了比赛，在关键时刻接管了比赛，并投中了可以说是比赛中最重要的三分球，将比赛拖入了两个加时赛，整个 NBA 世界都感到难以置信。 就连前 NBA 球员也对他们所目睹的一切感到震惊。魔术师约翰逊和其他几位NBA传奇人物在社交媒体上表达了他们对维克多·温班亚马的看法。 “精彩的比赛！精彩的比赛！精彩的表现！精彩的表现！圣安东尼奥马刺队的维克托·温班亚马今晚上演了一场令人难以置信的表演，拿下 41 分和 24 个篮板。” “温巴尼亚马的表现非常特别，因为他在篮球场上的各个位置都投篮，包括在最后时刻投进斯蒂芬·库里式的三分球。女士们先生们，这只是西部决赛的第一场比赛！”湖人队传奇人物“魔术师”约翰逊在 X 上写道。 “我不想把这个消息告诉西部联盟的其他球队，但他们可能在接下来的5-7年里没有机会赢得西部决赛。俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和圣安东尼奥马刺队就是那么好！他们有天赋，有深度，运动能力强，而且两支球队都训练有素，”这位湖人传奇人物进一步补充道。 温班亚马以 40 分和 20 个篮板超越约翰逊的队友、湖人队传奇人物卡里姆·阿卜杜勒·贾巴尔，成为季后赛最年轻的球员。阿卜杜尔·贾巴尔在季后赛中首次取得 40 胜 20 负的成绩时，他已经 22 岁零 352 天了。截至今天，Wembanyama 已经 22 岁零 134 天，比他年轻了 218 天。 德怀特·霍华德、马努·吉诺比利和凯文·加内特等传奇人物也对温班亚马的怪兽表现做出了反应。 “温比说，我是MVP！”霍华德在 X 上写道。 “真是一场比赛！这两支球队都令人难以置信。观看比赛既有趣又累人！1-0 马刺！这孩子真是超凡脱俗！#GoSpursGo，”吉诺比利也在 X 上兴奋地写道。 “在今年年初，这将是温比的跳投！成长！！”本赛季早些时候曾与温班亚马一起训练的加内特在回应他关键的三分球时写道。   温比，哇！ 将比赛打成 108 平的绝佳机会。pic.twitter.com/HELQUpxww7 - NBA (@NBA) 2026 年 5 月 19 日 就连 WNBA 传奇人物坎迪斯·帕克也在网上对马刺队与雷霆队的比赛做出了反应。 “你不高兴吗！！！”她写道。 其他几位前NBA球员也对今晚的比赛做出了反应。前马刺队球员理查德·杰弗森和鲁迪·盖伊也在社交媒体上做出了回应。 “雷霆队与马刺队的系列赛将会非常精彩，”杰弗森在 X 上写道。 “这场 SA/OKC 的比赛将是最伟大的比赛之一，”鲁迪·盖伊 (Rudy Gay) 一直大力支持温班亚马 (Wembanyama)，

底特律活塞队在常规赛取得惊人表现（60胜22负）后，成为夺冠热门之一进入季后赛。然而，在第二轮系列赛第七场对阵克利夫兰骑士队的比赛中，活塞队以 125-94 惨败，他们将带着许多问题进入休赛期。 头号种子活塞队展示了在常规赛中与 NBA 最好的球队正面交锋的潜力，但关键轮换球员在季后赛中的一些平淡表现表明他们需要升级。虽然休赛期的举措对于每支球队的进步都是必要的，但底特律自由报的奥马里·桑科法二世指出了活塞队可以瞄准的一些有趣的目标。他写道： “他们可能会与联盟中的大牌球员联系在一起，比如犹他爵士队前锋劳里·马尔卡宁（尽管犹他爵士刚刚交易来小贾伦·杰克逊与马尔卡宁搭档），以及洛杉矶快船队超级巨星科怀·伦纳德，后者将进入合同的最后一年，并将在 35 岁时在 2026-27 赛季赚取 5030 万美元。” 提到劳里·马尔卡宁并不令人意外。考虑到他上个休赛期在交易市场上受到的关注，预计这位芬兰前锋今年也会有同样的要求。考虑到活塞队也被视为潜在的登陆点，我们有充分的理由相信，如果他们也追求他，他们也可能成为领跑者。 虽然对马尔卡宁的兴趣是可以理解的，但活塞队对科怀·伦纳德的兴趣却相当耐人寻味。正如桑科法提到的，伦纳德将以 5030 万美元的到期合同进入 2026-27 赛季。然而，由于快船队愿意搬走他们的超级巨星并进行重建，这一举动可能并非不可能。 为此，桑科法纳入了可以帮助底特律促进此类交易的资产，并补充道： “活塞队拥有所有的首轮选秀权，包括 2026 年 NBA 选秀的第 21 顺位选秀权，以及大量可以纳入交易的第二轮选秀权。”  鉴于活塞队是一支年轻的球队，他们成功地从头开始建设，同时保留了大部分资产。在这个关键时刻，当他们希望从季后赛竞争者转变为冠军争夺者时，这些资产将在进行必要的补充方面证明是有价值的。   活塞队能否获得另一位超级巨星？ 目前，围绕活塞队的大部分交易传闻都将他们与明星级人才联系在一起，这可能是支持凯德·坎宁安的一种手段。但活塞如何才能获得这样的人才呢？ 与上述名称一致，底特律已经拥有可以纳入潜在交易的宝贵资产。 从财务角度来看，活塞队可能会考虑打包邓肯·罗宾逊、卡里斯·勒韦尔、以赛亚·斯图尔特和草案补偿金，这可能足以减轻科怀·伦纳德即将到来的 5030 万美元工资帽的压力。或者，通过提出签下并交易托比亚斯·哈里斯，底特律可以

早在迈克尔·乔丹在芝加哥公牛队任职期间成为全球偶像之前，他就曾是北卡罗来纳州威尔明顿埃姆斯利·A·莱尼高中的一颗冉冉升起的新星。乔丹仍然对所有在他的旅程中以任何方式帮助过他的人怀有很大的爱，这一点最近就得到了体现。 埃塔女士曾是莱尼医院的交通协调员，目前在威尔明顿的 Lower Cape Fear LifeCare 接受临终关怀护理。当她回忆起自己的记忆和学校最喜欢的学生时，她经常提到最后一次拥抱乔丹的愿望。工作人员最初试图进入名人堂的努力失败了，但随后其中一人受到了一生中的震惊。 LifeCare 社会工作者 Wendy 接到一个未知号码打来的电话，被问到：“这是 Etta 女士吗？”打电话的人是乔丹，她从家里赶到埃塔女士家，以便老师和学生可以通过 FaceTime 进行联系。 “他们欢笑、回忆、互相挑剔，分享了一个让房间里的每个人都流泪的时刻。她的家人将永远铭记这一记忆。”   在 Instagram 上查看这篇文章   Lower Cape Fear LifeCare (@lcflifecare) 分享的帖子 那真是太美了。埃塔女士的家人永远不会忘记这个举动。 乔丹早在 1981 年就从莱尼学院毕业了。虽然他在大二时就被排除在校队之外，但他尽了自己的一份力量来帮助他的高中。 据 WECT 报道，2019 年，乔丹向莱尼捐赠了 110 万美元。其中一半用于体育部门，另一半可用于学校选择的项目。 2015 年，Jordan Brand 还出资翻新了 Laney 的体育馆。当然，正是在那个体育馆里，他迈出了走向伟大的第一步。 乔丹在高三时入选校队，并在高四时场均贡献 26.8 分、11.6 个篮板和 10.1 次助攻。 1981 年，他入选麦当劳全美最佳阵容，随后前往北卡罗来纳大学就读。 1982 年，乔丹穿着焦油高跟鞋赢得了全国冠军，当他进入 NBA 时，他赢得了很多胜利。公牛队在 1984 年 NBA 选秀中以第三顺位选中了乔丹，当他离开比赛时，他被认为是有史以来最伟大的球员。 在 15 个赛季中，乔丹赢得了 6 个总冠军、6 个总决赛 MVP、5 个 MVP、1 个 DPOY 和 10 个得分王。事实证明，他在场外也很成功，并于 2014 年成为亿万富翁。 你总是希望当有人达到这样的高度时，他们会努力回馈社区，而在威尔明顿长大的乔丹就是这么做的。 2025 年，他在北卡罗来纳州为没有保险的患者开设了第四家健康诊所。此前，这位 63 岁的老人在 2018 年飓风“佛罗伦萨”摧毁该地区后，曾捐赠 200 万美元来帮助该地区的居民。

维克多·文巴尼亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和马刺队在西部决赛中一举成名，他们在双加时赛中以 122-115 惊心动魄地击败了卫冕冠军雷霆队，抢走了第一场比赛的胜利。 这位法国球星在 MVP 争夺中名列第三，落后于谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大和尼古拉·约基奇，这似乎对他来说不太好。就在宣布这一消息的第二天，他在第一场比赛中爆发，最终拿下 41 分、24 个篮板、3 次助攻和 3 次盖帽，投篮命中率 14 胜 25 负（投篮命中率 56.0%），三分线外投篮命中率 1 胜 2 负（3P% 50.0）。 比赛结束后，一名记者坦率地问他，像他这样的竞争对手是否认为谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大超越他赢得了 MVP，这是否为他今晚对雷霆队的猛烈进攻增添了动力。 “是的，当然，你刚才所说的一切，”温班亚马承认，然后深入探讨了他对吉尔杰斯-亚历山大获得 MVP 奖项的感受。 “感觉我还有很多东西需要学习，我希望在我的职业生涯中多次获得这个奖杯，”温班亚马在对自己的职业生涯做出大胆预测之前试图保持谦虚。 另一位记者随后问这位法国全明星，今晚之后他是否觉得自己是目前篮球界最好的球员。 “我现在有这种感觉吗？我感觉很累。但这不是我现在想知道的问题。但我们会看到，世界有八十亿人口，所以这意味着有八十亿不同的意见。” 与此同时，卫冕 MVP 今晚很难找到自己的进攻立足点，但在其他方面也做出了贡献。吉尔吉斯-亚历山大全场比赛得到24分、12次助攻、5次抢断和3个篮板，投篮命中率23投7中（投篮命中率30.4%），三分球命中率7投2中（3P%）28.5。 就连马刺队的主教练也谈到了有关维克多·温巴尼亚马在今晚获胜前后错过 MVP 奖项的争论。 “百分百......如果你是一名竞争对手，并且你看到另一个竞争对手得到了你想要的奖励......这就是动力，”赛后被问及今晚 41 分的爆发是否是由于在 MVP 争夺中获得第三名而推动的时，约翰逊说道。 “我认为维克托在他的年龄中进入前三名是很了不起的。我也认为非常合适。这是当之无愧的。他所做的一切足以从选民那里赢得这一荣誉。我认为谢伊度过了非凡的一年，非凡的表现，一直延续到今年，我认为选民反映了这一点，”约翰逊在赛前谈到温班亚马时说道。 这位22岁的球员在他的第一次季后赛经历中就已经打出了标志性的表现，并带领球队打进了西部决赛。 专家们已经认为，维克托·温巴尼亚马和马刺队是唯一一支能够真正阻止卫冕冠军背靠背获胜的球队。但愤怒的温班亚马对于吉尔杰斯-亚历山大和雷霆队来说可能是一场噩梦。

俄克拉荷马城雷霆队有多次机会抢走第一场比赛的胜利，但圣安东尼奥马刺队在维克托·温班亚马的历史杰作背后拥有太多的火力。尽管在主场作战，雷霆队还是以122-115输给马刺队，以0-1落后。 尽管亚历克斯·卡鲁索打出了令人难以置信的职业生涯之夜，两届 MVP 谢伊·吉尔杰斯·亚历山大也打出了不错的全能表现，但俄克拉荷马城队仍难以遏制马刺队的内线，最终在篮板球上被摧毁，以 61-40 输掉了篮板球大战。马刺队在整个晚上的大部分时间里都控制着比赛节奏，而雷霆队主要先发球员的低效投篮最终在系列赛首场惨败中付出了惨重的代价。   亚历克斯·卡鲁索：A+ 比赛统计：31 分、2 分、1 AST、2 STL、2 BLK、2 TOV、11-19 投篮、8-14 3 分投篮、1-3 罚球、32 分钟 卡鲁索在季后赛中打出了职业生涯最好的进攻表现，几乎凭借一己之力保住了俄克拉荷马城的生机。他整晚都投出了大量的三分球，打出了精英级的防守，并在攻防两端带来了不间断的强度。不幸的是，对于雷霆队来说，他的历史性表现被浪费了，因为球队的其他球员无法始终如一地与他的能量相匹配。   杰伦·威廉姆斯：B+ 比赛统计：26 分、7 分、3 AST、1 STL、1 BLK、2 TOV、11-25 投篮、1-3 3 分投篮、3-3 罚球、37 分钟 贾伦·威廉姆斯是雷霆队中为数不多的能够始终自信地攻击防守的先发球员之一。他在三分线内得分高效，整个晚上都充满侵略性。不幸的是，考虑到几位队友的进攻表现不佳，俄克拉荷马城需要他提供更多帮助。   谢伊·吉尔吉斯·亚历山大：B 比赛统计：24 分、12 AST、5 STL、1 BLK、4 TOV、7-23 投篮、2-7 3 分投篮、8-9 罚球、51 分钟 尽管今晚的投篮效率很低，但谢伊还是以多种方式影响了比赛。他的组织能力让俄克拉荷马城能够长期维持下去，而且在防守上他也表现出色，有 5 次抢断。然而，马刺队迫使他整场比赛都进行高难度的跳投，而他无法持续有效地得分成为了后期的一个主要问题。   卡森·华莱士：B- 比赛统计：8 PTS、6 REB、2 STL、1 TOV、3-6 FG、2-5 3-PT FG、28 分钟 华莱士在替补席上悄悄地在攻防两端表现出色。他防守积极，篮板球相对他的身材来说很好，并投进了几次重要的外线投篮。他的整体影响力比几位雷霆首发球员都要好。   切特·霍姆格伦：C 比赛统计：8 分、8 分、1 分、2 黑球、1 TOV、2-7 投篮、2-4 3 分投篮、2-2 罚球、41 分钟 切特·霍姆格伦经历了他年轻职业生涯中最艰难的季后赛之一。整个晚上，温班亚马在身体和精神上都完全超越了他，统治了油漆区和玻璃，而霍姆格伦则在努力完成控球。他的防守闪光不足以抵消他进攻的不稳定和内线缺乏的表现。   阿杰·米切尔：C 比赛统计：4 分、4 分、5 AST、2 STL、2-5 投篮、34 分钟 米切尔贡献了扎实的组织能力和激烈的比赛，但俄克拉荷马城需要他更多的得分力量
