Josh Hart says he’s ‘overshadowed’ by rest of young Lakers core

#JoshHart has been solid for the #Lakers since being drafted 30th overall in the 2017 #NBA Draft, this year especially. With the exception of a few rough outings related to a nagging ankle injury, Hart has been one of the most impactful two-way players on the roster. According to NBA.com, the Lakers have a net rating of +6.5 with Hart on the floor and -2.9 net rating with him off of the floor. However, despite his success in his role, Hart told Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times that he still feels like he doesn't get the same recognition as his teammates that were drafted around the same time as him: “I think I’m still overshadowed,” Hart said this October. “Just because last year we had Zo, BI [Brandon Ingram], Kuz and like the young core … now you …so much, big personalities with the team. So I’m not, I like to have fun on social media and stuff like that but I’m not the crazy big personality that draws a whole bunch of attention.” This isn’t the first tim

Rockets and Lakers brawl in LeBron James' LA debut and one video appears to show Rajon Rondo spitting on Chris Paul

A brawl broke out at the Lakers-Rockets game on Saturday night, with Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, and Brandon Ingram all eventually being thrown out of the game. The Rockets contest that Paul was provoked by Rondo when the Lakers guard spit in his face and have provided the league with video to support their case. Suspensions are likely to be announced soon for all three players. LeBron James first game as a Laker in Los Angeles did not go according to plan. With just four minutes remaining in Saturday night's game between the Lakers and Houston Rockets, a fight broke out as tensions between guards Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo boiled over. Punches were thrown, and James was forced to shift from playmaker to peacemaker, helping to separate and de-escalate the brawl. Paul, Rondo, and Ingram all threw punches and were all ejected after the referees stopped the game to break down how to allocate punishments after the dust had settled. Replays show the inciting incidents between

LeBron, In A Lakers Uniform, Doing LeBron Stuff

The Los Angeles Lakers opened their preseason Sunday in San Diego. Who cares! I don’t care. The NBA should shut up for at least another couple weeks. Did they win? Who were their opponents? Who led them in scoring? Don’t care! On the other hand, LeBron James logged his first (exhibition) game action as a Laker. It didn’t count as a basketball game, but it did count as an opportunity to work on getting used to the sight of LeBron in a Lakers uniform. It still looks  weird . Looks kinda weird! James played 15 minutes in the first half, then sat out the rest. The bounce pass to Ingram is filth; the effortless, laser-accurate outlet to Josh Hart is classic LeBron; the hairline looks pretty dece. For now. By Albert Burneko, deadspin.com

Kevin Love, DeMar DeRozan say money, fame can’t guarantee happiness

The admissions of mental health struggles have changed the way the NBA looks at its star athletes, now more aware that even those who seem to have it all battle internal wars with depression, anxiety, and many other health complications. DeMar DeRozan was the first to open up about his own issues, then enticing Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love to do so a week later through The Players’ Tribune. Recently, Love opened up further to ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan, detailing the extent of his struggles with depression and anxiety. “My girlfriend, Kate, saw me going down a little bit of a destructive path, and she told me, ‘I love you so much. I really think you need to talk to someone,'” Love admitted. “But I kept telling myself, ‘I don’t need any help. I’m successful. I’ve gotten this far. I’ve got the best friends in the world.’ But the truth was, there was still a lot that made me unhappy.” DeRozan had admitted he had been dealing with depression even before breaking i
