That one time LeBron said he’d participate in the dunk contest

“He has the most efficient playoff games – that’s 20 (pts) when you shoot 50% or more – he has 14 of those. He’s ahead of Lillard, he’s ahead of Holiday… in a very (early) part of his career.”
We got into Brunson, Bridges, LeBron & more on The Putback:

The NBA relies on its stars more than any other sport & has leaned upon LeBron, KD & Steph for nearly a decade, still waiting for the next crop of American stars to replace them. “If they can figure it out, good luck. You got to remove them off the throne” wapo.st/3OKV29J – 10:31 AM

Zach Lowe: Anyone who thinks LeBron is sitting there chasing that ghost every night ruminating on “Kobe has got five, Michael’s got six, I’ve got four.” That’s not apparently LeBron’s mindset. That’s what I’ve heard privately for for a long time. -via Spotify / February 17, 2024
The lure of Los Angeles tested Bryant that summer as a free agent, but he re-signed with the Lakers and stayed there for the remainder of his career. Starting with the arrival of Magic Johnson in 1979, the Lakers have only gone without a front-facing superstar for seven years total — five following Johnson’s abrupt 1991 retirement and the two years between Bryant’s 2016 retirement and James’ 2018 arrival. “LeBron is not going nowhere. L.A. is his city right now, his town,” Payton said. “Kobe is really … it’s Kobe’s city. But LeBron is taking over now.” -via Yahoo! Sports / February 17, 2024
It was quickly rebuffed by the Los Angeles Lakers, who went to James’ agent, Rich Paul, to gauge his interest. But Hall of Famer Gary Payton, an Oakland native and former Laker, doesn’t believe James should leave his kingdom in Los Angeles. “LeBron did what he wanted — [what] he was supposed to. He said, ‘I’m staying where I’m at,’” Payton told Yahoo Sports right before All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis. Payton is slated to be one of the judges for the AT&T; Slam Dunk Competition on Saturday night. “He’s been traveling too many times, been to Cleveland, you know. He been to Miami, went back to Cleveland. This is his last stop, man.” -via Yahoo! Sports / February 17, 2024
