It’s no secret that LeBron James and President Donald Trump don’t see eye-to-eye, and that seems to have upset one of the two parties. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t James. The Los Angeles Lakers star was interviewed by CNN’s Don Lemon on Friday night, and it looks like the president took some time off from watching his favorite channel in order to watch King James hold court. As we’ve become accustomed to, Trump fired off a tweet insulting both Lemon and James before adding that he is, in fact, a Michael Jordan guy. Cool story, Don. We could run through the laundry list of ways James has bettered his community through his char... NESN.com

Cassius Marsh Doubles Down On Anti-Patriots Comments, Takes Dig At Fans
If you thought Cassius Marsh might back down from his recent comments about the New England Patriots, you were wrong.

James responded to Ingraham’s wild... NESN.com
Marcus Smart Takes Blame For Celtics’ Recent Woes, Says Team Lacks ‘Effort’
Marcus Smart can’t help the Boston Celtics on the court right now, but he’s doing his best to remain accountable off it. The Celtics guard, who’s been sidelined since Jan. 24 after injuring his hand in a losing battle with a picture frame, took part of the blame for Boston’s recent rough patch in his second public comments since the incident. “I’ve been on myself pretty bad,” Smart told The Boston Herald’s Steve Bulpett on Wednesday night, “especially when I have to just sit back there and watch those guys struggle, and there’s nothing I can do. But we’ve got the break coming up. We’ve got to come back and be ready.”
