LeBron James mingles with Bubba Watson after Lakers’ win
NY Post
LeBron James’ interest in golf has officially reached fever-pitch levels.
Just seconds after the Lakers superstar helped his team beat the Pelicans on Tuesday night, 111-103, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, he raced to Bubba Watson, who had some courtside seats for the big NBA game.
James could be seen embracing the two-time Masters champion and his family before having some conversations about, presumably, the King’s new swing.
While James and Watson have known each other for years, the former just picked up golf this past summer, and he’s been absolutely infatuated with it. In fact, on multiple occasions this season, cameras have caught him practicing his swing while on the hardwood.
Watson has yet to shed light on the details of his postgame talk with James, but he did take to his Instagram page to share his excitement about being in attendance for L.A.’s victory.
Watson posted a smiling pic with his family, as well as a video of James hitting his trademark pregame chalk throw.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
The discourse has gone on for two seasons now. But it doesn’t exactly match reality.
Where were the grownups for Team USA?
The Rangers reconvened after the Olympic stoppage wanting to find some successful combinations that had been largely absent through much of a disappointing last-place season.
SALT LAKE CITY — There was no sugarcoating an ugly first-half performance from the Knicks in the locker room, and the harsh words during the break helped spur a comeback in Wednesday’s 134-117 victory over the Jazz.
Team USA’s fate is out of its hands.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Jasson Domínguez’s first-inning at-bat against Tanner Banks on Tuesday featured a different result and a different swing than “The Martian” had been accustomed to against lefty pitching.
Maxx Crosby isn’t looking in the rearview after a wild 24 hours.

SALT LAKE CITY — Leon Rose tried to address the bench in the summer. It didn’t work. He got a redo at the trade deadline with Jose Alvarado and Jeremy Sochan.
If Isaiah Likely was the most … er … likely former Raven to follow head coach John Harbaugh to the Giants, Patrick Ricard wasn’t far behind.
The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
