After the game, the NBA superstar put a timeline on his potential retirement. “I’m not going to play that much longer, to be completely honest,” James told reporters Wednesday. Last month, James and his oldest son, Bronny, became the first father-son duo to appear together in an NBA game. Beyond playing with his oldest son, he previously intimated that he would still like to play in the NBA should his other son, Bryce, a high school senior, have a chance to play in the league. “I don’t know,” James told cleveland.com.

Savannah James was extremely nervous to start a podcast, but this year, alongside her close friend, April McDaniel, she did just that. For the majority of her life in the public eye, people saw James as the quiet wife of basketball star, LeBron James, and mom to their three children. On the "Everybody's Crazy" podcast, James and McDaniel take calls from people who are looking for advice on how to handle complicated situations. Starting the podcast was also a very big leap for McDaniel, who founded her own marketing agency, Crown + Conquer. I think the one thing people don't realize about me and Savannah is we don't care what other people think."

“It’s incredible,” Payton II told NBC News. One might be Payton II, the son of longtime Seattle SuperSonics star Gary Payton, a member of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team. Golden State faced Los Angeles twice in the preseason, and Payton II made sure to go over to the younger James pregame to offer a few words of advice. Rarely do players with those statistics get drafted by an NBA team, but the Lakers took Bronny in the second round with the 55th overall pick. That idea of feeling undeserving is something Payton II experienced growing up.

Welcome to the NBA, Bronny James. With the age-defying act of LeBron James now reaching a 22nd season, tying the league record for longest career with Vince Carter, James has played for so long that in June the Lakers drafted his oldest son, Bronny, 20. Though Lakers coach J.J. Redick told reporters Monday that a plan to play LeBron and Bronny together had not been finalized and Bronny James said he did not know whether he would actually play against Minnesota, there is clearly an expectation of history surrounding the season opener. “So, that’s what’s going to be cool about it.”“Only two families to do it,” Bronny James told reporters Monday when he was asked about the Griffeys. “I feel like my confidence, I feel like that’s the biggest thing for me right now,” he told reporters after the preseason finale in San Francisco.

CNN —As Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and son Bronny seek to make history Tuesday night by becoming the first father-son duo to play together in a regular season NBA game, they’ll be joined in Crypto.com Arena by some baseball royalty. In August of that year, as members of the Seattle Mariners, Griffey Sr. and Griffey Jr. became the first father and son to play in the same MLB game. “First father and son to play baseball, now first father and son to play basketball. So it’s a big deal for my dad and I to be there,” Griffey told host Jon Paul Morosi. But Bronny can be forgiven for his oversight, as the Howes’ incredible feat happened several years before even his dad LeBron was born.

For some, the pressure and expectations might forge diamonds – and Paris 2024 has no shortage of this type of athlete. Lithuanian discus thrower Mykolas Alekna is poised to carry on the legacy of his father, Virgilijus, who holds an Olympic record in the same discipline. His 69.89-meter throw in Athens 2004 guaranteed the then-32-year-old a second Olympic gold medal, having also won in Sydney 2000. It was a record the elder Alekna was chasing his entire career and got close only once: a personal record of 73.88 meters thrown just before the Sydney Games. “If you don’t change anything, you’ll be just like your father: without the world record,” Virgilijus said to Lithuanian news outlet Lrytas when asked what he said to his son a month prior to his record-breaking effort.

Lithuanian discus thrower Mykolas Alekna is poised to carry on the legacy of his father, Virgilijus, who holds an Olympic record in the same discipline. His 69.89-meter throw in Athens 2004 guaranteed the then-32-year-old a second Olympic gold medal, having also won in Sydney 2000. The world record followed in April 2024, when all his six throws – alongside his new all-time mark – were over the elite 70-meter mark. Deep-rooted traditionAlekna’s success in the discus throw is testament to Lithuania’s deep-rooted tradition in this field event – the Baltic state has been hugely successful with the discus in hand. Virgilijus Alekna’s victories on the global stage helped to popularize the sport, and now, finals of discus throw are among the most-watched Olympic events in Lithuania.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is no stranger to controversy, and he found himself in the thick of another public-relations pickle before he strode to the stage at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night. But in accepting the Pat Tillman Award for Service at ESPN’s annual made-for-TV gala, Harry graciously acknowledged his critics — including Mr. Tillman’s mother, Mary — while citing the work that his organization, the Invictus Games, had done since its inception in 2014. “The truth is, I stand here not as Prince Harry, Pat Tillman Award recipient,” Harry said during his speech, “but rather a voice on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel from over 20 nations who have made the Invictus Games a reality. This award belongs to them, not to me.”The awards show, which had its broadcast delayed by President Biden’s news conference, featured stars from the sports world and beyond in their formal best. There were emotional moments, like a speech from the former Alabama football coach Nick Saban, who won the Icon Award; powerful ones, like Dawn Staley, the women’s basketball coach at South Carolina, highlighting the pay gap in men’s and women’s sports; and some laugh-out-loud moments when presenters took swipes at people like Harrison Butker and Bronny James.
