Darryn Peterson to Swish Cultures post Vegas summer league debut: “I’m back having fun. I wasn't really experiencing it that much at Kansas. I was off [the ball] a ton. … I feel like myself again. Being on the ball, that's what comes with it - being double teamed”

“If he doesn’t slow down, we got to make him slow down” - Amen Thompson on going up against the 41-year-old LeBron James coming off of 45 minutes in Game 3

The Lakers’ practice setup at a resort ballroom in Vegas. The team is testing out a new court design for the summer session.

“It’s called old. … You just wake up with s— that you didn’t have the night before.” — LeBron James on his left foot injury management designation that kept him out of Sunday’s game.

Luka Doncic said he’s already learned how other teams tend to get up to play the Lakers and give them their best shot. “I didn’t believe it before, but they say if somebody is out a long time, then they play against the Lakers … So I think that’s normal [now].”

“You guys seen the meme after Game 1. I can look at him and he can know what the hell I’m talking about” - LeBron James reveals Marcus Smart was who he was making nonverbal communication with in the series opener 👀

Reporter: Is that accurate, two 4-point plays [tonight] is the first time in your career? Austin Reaves: “I wouldn’t [know]. I couldn’t tell you. I don’t know.” Reporter: JJ [Redick] told us he’s done it four times. Reaves: “Yeah, well, nobody cares.”

After generally side stepping questions about Dillon Brooks’ comments, LeBron James cut off his media availability with a simple message.

Adou Thiero on all 5 starters LAL opened up the playoffs with being gone from the team: “It’s going to be different but that’s not what I’m really focused on right now. This is the team I’m with right now, so I’m focused on getting better, getting better with this group of guys”

LeBron James says he will play the second leg of the back-to-back tomorrow and added, “I plan on playing every game”

LeBron James on the Lakers front office drafting Dalton Knecht: “They didn’t find DK … the other 16 teams f—-ed it up”

**Listen for Austin Reaves in the back**

Haliburton: “Before we leave, is there a decision yet? I’m kidding. I’m kidding. No decision”

“It was a great atmosphere. … That little kid on the jumbotron was definitely - I looked up there - I think he’s the reason why we won tonight.” - LeBron James

"It sells papers a lot easier -- and clippings and podcasts -- if you say, 'LeBron, the team is better off without him.' A lot of people will try to like view it. So, I get it. ... They're absolutely wrong." - LeBron after 49 pts on 21-for-26 FGs and going 2-0 in last 24 hours

“How about Bronny James starting in the NBA, and LeBron’s assigned to the G League? That’s fun. That’s awesome.” - Austin Reaves

AR ends on a make.

“This is a business trip. This isn’t something where I’m here to be like, ‘Man, I’m so excited to be home.’ I did that already. And we lost.” - Westchester County, NY native Donovan Mitchell on the Cavs’ second playoff series versus his hometown Knicks in the last four years

The Lakers were blasting New Edition’s “Can You Stand the Rain” in the locker room after their win Sunday

Found this telling. Before the Lakers won 12 of their last 13 games, LAL had a three-game skid, with the 2nd loss coming on a botched final play between Luka and LeBron vs. ORL. When asked about that game, LeBron only cited a defensive mistake he made, absolving Luka completely.

“He’s won series, won Finals, I think we just need to have our mind open and ears open and listen to whatever he says because he knows the most. He’s only saying that because he wants to win … We just got to listen to him.” - Bronny James on LeBron’s playoff leadership

LeBron gives his most elaborate answer about his free agency decision making process to a young fan.

As LeBron James rattles off what he will value in his next team, he used the phrase “trust the process” and the crowd was sent into a tizzy, thinking he was giving a clue about the Philadelphia 76ers.

Austin Reaves on LeBron James leaving the Lakers: “I don’t know if I’ve honestly processed it yet. … Starting a season without him on the team is going to be different for me. That’s kind of all I’ve ever known … Got nothing but love and respect for him”

Austin Reaves on Luka Doncic: “He’s one of my best friends on this planet. I talk to him almost every single day. He sends me videos of his golf swing and asks me what he can do to get better and I tell him I’m not a coach”

LeBron James says this is not the first time he’s dealt with sciatica. He also had it during the offseason two years ago. “If you ain’t never had it … I pray you never get it”

LeBron James: “We suck right now.” He also framed LAL’s in-season tournament as “only two games,” suggesting that championship should be given the proper weight

Jaxson Hayes went through the legs for in-game fastbreak dunk tonight. Which stirred some debate. Jake LaRavia: “He didn’t get that high … The only player that does it in the league is Obi Toppin.” Luka Doncic (off camera): “I did it when I was a teen … I have a video!”

Bronny James on the speculation about what team LeBron James will play for next season: “There’s a lot of stuff going around that I don’t really pay attention to”

“Thank you, Toronto. Thank you, RJ Barrett. I appreciate it. Haven’t seen a shot in Toronto like that since Kawhi. There’s something about those rims” - LeBron James on Game 1 vs OKC being Tuesday instead of Sunday because TOR forced Game 7 vs CLE

LeBron James discusses the family aspect of his decision with Rich Kleiman: “I have a 22-year-old son who is now a former teammate of mine … which is hilarious”

LeBron James, back like he never left.

“I would never disrespect the Basketball Gods when it comes to playing this game. So I put the time and the effort and the commitment in … as Jay-Z would say, if you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack, and maybe you'll love me when I fade to black.”

Deandre Ayton admitted he might be a “confusing”pick-and-roll target after Austin Reaves blamed some of his five turnovers for making the “wrong pass at the right time” in the two-man game with the new Lakers center

LeBron James when asked what is still great about the NBA today: “LeBron and Steph” Austin Reaves, off camera: “Great f—ing answer”

LeBron James elaborated on his endorsement of Kamala Harris for president tonight.

JJ Redick says he would make 88 or 89 catch-and-shoot 3s out of a hundred in practice. How many would Luke Kennard make? “90 … I’d probably be just right above him”

Austin Reaves got deep when asked about the 9-game win streak: “At a young age, I never won anything. With my brother being two years older than me … Basketball, baseball, tennis, ping-pong, he never let me win anything. So I grew a hatred to losing … Winning is -- it fixes everything”

LeBron on Anthony Edwards’ statement at All-Star that he isn’t striving to become the face of the NBA: “Channing Frye said it … ‘Why do you want to be the face of the league when all the people that cover our game and talk about our game on a day-to-day basis s— on everybody?’”

LeBron James, when asked about the Lakers making the Luka Doncic trade with an eye on the future, replied, “What’s wrong with that? If I had any concerns I would have waived my no trade clause and got up out of here”
