This season has been a fruitful one for the Los Angeles Lakers. They currently sit atop the Western Conference standings with a formidable record of 29-7. Every single night, they appear as though they are having the most fun in the league and on Sunday, their passion was on full display. The team squeaked out a win against the Detroit Pistons while improving their winning streak to five games. The whole team got involved when it came to scoring and internet sensation Alex Caruso was no different. 

Perhaps the best highlight of the game came in the fourth quarter when Kyle Kuzma recorded a steal and immediately passed the ball to Caruso who was in all alone. Caruso came through with a monster dunk as LeBron James chased him down and even pretended to block him. The went nuts and the whole scene was just another example of how much chemistry this team has. 

Nike has already retro’d several all-time classic Nike LeBron 7s, including the recently released “China Moon” colorway, and there are even more on the way. According to sneaker source @HouseofHeat, the blue and orange “Hardwood Classic Alternate” Nike LeBron 7 is among those headed back to retailers later this year.

The blue suede “Hardwood Classic Alternate” Nike LeBron 7 was first introduced in 2010 to match up with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ throwback uniforms but the special edition sneakers were never made available to the public. 

In addition to the suede construction, the kicks come equipped with orange and white accents, as well as speckled detailing on the Nike swoosh and full length Air Max unit. A release date has not yet been announced but you can expect the kicks to carry a $200 price tag when they do finally make their retail debut.

This season has been immensely successful for the Los Angeles Lakers thus far. The team currently sits in first place in the Western Conference with a record of 27-7. After going on a four-game losing skid, the team has bounced back with a three-game winning streak in which they have played their signature brand of high-octane basketball. On any given night, the Lakers are the most fun team in basketball and fans have taken notice.

The entire squad appears to have great chemistry and seem to be having more fun than the fans. LeBron James is a huge part of that although Dwight Howard has been his goofy self as well. Howard's personality was on full display Wednesday night after LeBron showed off some impressive handles. As you can see in the video below, Howard hops off the bench and begins to mimic James' moves.

The NBA has today revealed the first returns in the All Star fan voting, revealing that the Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic currently leads the league with a total of 1,073,957 nominations. In 29 games this season, his second in the NBA, Doncic is averaging 29 points, 9.5 rebounds and 8.9 assists.

Not far off, Milwaukee Bucks' forward Giannis Antetokounmpo leads all Eastern Conference players with a total of 1,073,358 votes. The reigning NBA MVP and All Star captain is averaging career-highs in points (30.4) and rebounds (13) to go along with 5.6 assists per game.

The only other player in the league with 1M+ votes thus far is none other than LeBron James. 

Former NBA commissioner David Stern passed away on Wednesday at the age of 77, weeks after suffering a brain hemorrhage. To honor Stern's monumental contributions to the game of basketball during his 30-year run as commissioner from 1984 to 2014, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James hopes that the league will name an award, or a day, after Stern in the near future.

“He definitely should have something named after him,” James said following the Lakers’ 117-107 win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. “Either if it’s an award, or, I don’t know, a day? During the course of an NBA season, there’s a ‘David Stern Day.’ I don’t know. We can figure it out.” 

Fans of the Nike LeBron 7 will be happy to know that Nike has plans to continue the retros in 2020, following recent releases of classic colorways such as the "Red Carpet" and "Christmas" edition. Up next for the LeBron 7 is the beloved "China Moon" colorway, which will be available  Nike SNKRS today, January 2nd, at 10am ET for the retail price of $200.

LeBron James may be the most athletic basketball player of the last two decades, but it appears that he was snubbed as an 8th grader. As reported by ESPN, a photo of James' eighth-grade yearbook resurfaced on Twitter and went viral. In the photo, Virgil Robinson was named as the most athletic kid in the class. To make matters worse, James' first name was misspelled and placed under the wrong photo. The yearbook had to publish an apology.
