LeBron James scored his eighth game-winning basket of his career, including the playoffs, tonight against the Pacers, per the Lakers.
He joins Michael Jordan (9), Kobe Bryant (8) and Joe Johnson (8) as the only players in NBA history to record eight or more buzzer-beaters. – 11:25 PM

Kevin Durant ties Kobe Bryant for second-most player of the week honors ever (33) after being named Western Conference player of the week for March 17-23.

More on this storyline
Kendrick Perkins: “A lot of times we talk about LeBron James and his lack of relationships, and we look at both parties. But we don’t look at one party—LeBron.” “You came into the league wearing number 23, proclaiming yourself to be the GOAT. Eventually it was to be the GOAT.” “Just ask Hollywood about the negotiations for Space Jam and some of the stipulations he insisted on. I won’t go there because we’re being nice this morning.” “Look at Kobe Bryant. Their relationship wasn’t much until they were Olympic teammates. How much of a relationship did they have after that?” -via YouTube / March 27, 2025
Keerthika Uthayakumar: Most game-winning buzzer-beaters in NBA history: Michael Jordan had 9 LeBron James with his 8th Joe Johnson had 8 Kobe Bryant had 8 Paul Pierce had 7 LeBron made his first game-winning buzzer-beater on Jan 23, 2009. Only 12 other players from 2008-09 are still in the league. -via Bluesky / March 27, 2025
“When you’re done, do you think you two will be the only ones who could really have that conversation?” LeBron James: “I hope so. You know, the funny thing is — me and Kobe — besides, you know, the late, great Kobe… Me and Kobe never had a real relationship either until we were on the Olympic team. We had a great relationship there — Olympic Team ’08, Olympic Team ’12. But it was always competitive between us. I was on the East Coast, he was on the West Coast. And even though we never beat Orlando — I think it was ‘09 — and didn’t get the opportunity to play him in the Finals…” -via YouTube / March 26, 2025

More elite players are playing until they have 15-plus years in the league. Just look at some of the names who qualify for the 15-plus-year-in-the-NBA club right now: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Harden, as well as DeMar DeRozan, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook and Jrue Holiday. -via HoopsHype / March 22, 2025
Then there’s Amen Thompson. Obviously, he’s going to be a star. But the big question is—can he be that offensive engine? Somebody in the organization asked me, ‘Tell me what peak Russell Westbrook could do that this kid doesn’t have a chance to do.’ -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
