Knicks are in the NBA Finals. Why are James Dolan + MSG Sports planning to spin off the Knicks & Rangers? Got into it with @yaronweitzman.bsky.social + @brandolightshed.bsky.social YouTube: youtu.be/54cNQUqhL5g?... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7gIa... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

James Dolan is spinning the Knicks into a separate public company. What does that mean, is a sale on the table, & how soon can you start gifting bar mitzvah kids Knicks stock? @mikevorkunov.bsky.social and I spoke with @brandolightshed.bsky.social to find out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=54cN...

With the Knicks in the Finals, it’s worth going back to the beginning of this era. In 2021, I wrote a behind-the-scenes deep dive for @nypostsports.bsky.social on Leon Rose’s vision. Feels like a good time to revisit — and give Rose his due: nypost.com/2021/03/09/h...

What happens when one of the NBA’s most storied teams—long run like a tight-fisted mom-and-pop shop—is taken over by a free-spending ownership group with a track record of building one of sports’ most sophisticated operations? Story, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

A very smart story about one of the more interesting storylines to watch in the NBA

“[Friedman] knows that the Lakers are pretty antiquated. What he really wants to do is layer on the stuff they do with the Dodgers.” On the Dodgers' takeover of the Lakers, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

New story for @yahoosports.bsky.social: I asked Zion Williamson whether, given the Pelicans’ investment in Derik Queen, he feels his time in NO may be winding down. “New Orleans is...where I want to be. But at the end of the day...the NBA is a business." sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

"I have nothing bad to say about none of the teammates, none of the coaches, but it's just hard to find a rhythm playing with really great players and getting little short spurts." Another good look at Jared McCain post-trade, from @jamesherbert.bsky.social www.cbssports.com/nba/news/jar...

Dillon Brooks, now a bucket-getter, says this season is going “exactly the way I wanted it.” I wrote about The Villain reinventing himself www.cbssports.com/nba/news/sup...

ICYMI, wrote about Deni Avdija, for @yahoosports.bsky.social:

Deni Avdija's reaction to the Wizards trading him for two first round picks? “I was like, ‘Wow, that’s a lot. And seeing that, it was like, ‘They really believe in me, they really want me.’” Wrote about Avdija's breakout, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

Deni Avdija is now an All-Star. But just 3 years ago he was unsure about his future in the league. “Do I really belong here?” he’d ask himself. I spoke to Avdija about that journey, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

On its one-year anniversary, here some of my favorite Luka trade related scoops from A HOLLYWOOD ENDING: - Bronny shared the Shams tweet in the Lakers group chat - AD wished the group good luck and then left the chat - LeBron used an emoji to express his anger - The trade was held up by Shabbat

LOVE this story from @conororr.bsky.social on Bob Weir's obsession with flag football www.si.com/nfl/bob-weir...

A Sam Darnold-Patriots Super Bowl would be a real nice blow to the groin for Jets fans.

Seems like a good time to share that if you want to read more about the Jeanie Buss era of the Lakers and the franchise's relationship with LeBron, well, there's a whole book: www.amazon.com/Hollywood-En...

Just incredible reporting and an incredible story here from @baxterholmes.bsky.social , who dove into the question seemingly no one was asking: Why exactly is it that Jeanie Buss decided to sell the Lakers? www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

BIG thanks to Elix Michaelson for having me on @cnn.com last night to talk about A HOLLYWOOD ENDING.

Thank you to @theguardian.com for the very nice write-up on A Hollywood Ending: www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/d...

This @jamesherbert.bsky.social story on the small guards succeeding in the modern NBA was fantastic. So much great stuff in here: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba...

Is there a sporting event besides the NBA Cup where the announcers push the sponsor name this much? I’ve never seen company men like the entire Amazon group, feels like they all get "Emirates" in there every time.

And for the holiday season I'll get this going again: Send me a proof of order for (email: lebronlakersbook at gmail) and I’ll send you this bookmark. It will be like you’re reading alongside LeBron! You’ll also get a bookplate made out to you or anyone (and lmk if there’s a special message)

Holiday season means I’m legally required to plug my book. That being the case, if you’re looking to gift a sports book to a loved one, how about one on the LeBron-era Lakers that was named one of @newyorker.com Best Books of 2025? Link👇👇👇 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

I think Yaron is still the guy writing about pooping in the NBA but The New Yorker says he wrote one of the best books of the year and damn it they are right. Go buy it!

Really would give this my highest recommendation for Lakers fans, great Christmas gift book for dad

So this was pretty cool: @newyorker.com put A HOLLYWOOD ENDING on its Best Books of 2025 list! www.newyorker.com/best-books-2...

Thank you, @wsj.com! Don’t think I’ve ever felt so seen by a review. www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

And, once again, if you're interested in learning more about the context here and the further splintering of the Buss family, well: www.amazon.com/Hollywood-En.... I'll also share this paragraph from the end of the book:

So this was pretty cool: A HOLLYWOOD ENDING made the "briefly noted" section of @newyorker.com! www.newyorker.com/best-books-2...

Had a blast talking about LeBron and the Lakers with the great @bomani-jones.bsky.social on @righttimebomani.bsky.social. YouTube: youtu.be/Dh6OPgBUMxU?... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1uwy... And, if interested, you can buy the book here: www.amazon.com/Hollywood-En...

Jeez @michaelvpina.bsky.social save some awards for the rest of us
