LeBron James and his eldest son, Bronny James, made NBA history on Sunday by playing together for the Los Angeles Lakers during a preseason game against the Phoenix Suns, which the Lakers lost 118-114. They took the court together at the start of the second quarter, marking a significant moment for the family. LeBron scored 19 points in over 16 minutes, while Bronny struggled with zero points in slightly more than 13 minutes.
After the game, LeBron reflected on the emotional significance of playing alongside Bronny on his son’s 20th birthday, emphasizing the importance of being a positive influence in his life. Lakers coach J.J. Redick praised the duo’s performance, noting it highlights both LeBron’s longevity and Bronny’s hard work.
LeBron stated that playing with Bronny has revitalized his career as he enters his 22nd season. While Bronny is expected to spend most of his rookie season in the G-League, the Lakers will begin their regular season against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 22.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
