LeBron James Reveals the Nike LeBron 23
LeBron Jamesis in his 40s and remains one of the NBA's most potent talents. The King is gearing up for his 23rd season in the league, one that will see a reignited (and in excellent shape) Luka Dončić and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers aim for a championship alongside James. In preparation for this, he has shared a workout video, highlighting not only his age-defying athleticism, but a new performance shoe as well.
TheNike LeBron 23has been spotted for the first time on none other than James' feet himself. An all-black weartest sample is worn by the superstar throughout his latest Instagram post, offering a rough idea of what to expect from the new design. Our limited first look at the low-top sees it sport new tooling that features an extended midsole in the shape of James' crown logo at the lateral. No branding is visible, however, the retail version of the model is likely to feature nods to the Swoosh.
At the time of writing, neither LeBron James nor Nike Basketball have indicated when the LeBron 23 will be making its debut. Based on previous years, you can expect the new silhouette to be unveiled around the start of the NBA season in October, with a global launch taking place shortly thereafter. Stay tuned for updates, including a complete visual breakdown of the new shoe, and check it out in action via the Instagram post embedded below.

Video: Toddler Taking Golden Retriever Out for Walk Is Truly Wholesome
Mornings hit different when they start with a peaceful and refreshing walk with your furbaby. Popular opinion also suggests that it can be a simple yet effective way to bond with your pets. Since that's the case, a toddler took her Golden Retriever out for a walk while her parents captured the wholesome experience in a video that has since gone viral on Instagram. The clip might just be too-cute-to-handle as it shared the conversations she had with her dog during the walk. Toddler has a full-fledged conversation with Golden Retriever on walk in video When you're both a parent and a pet owner, watching your little one bond with your furbaby is nothing short of heartwarming. The best way to nurture a connection is by letting them make the most of their playtime together or going on adventurous strolls across the neighborhood. A mom documented her toddler going on a wholesome walk with their Golden Retriever and having a full-fledged conversation on their journey together. 'I put a mic on our 2-year-old to hear her conversation with our dogs,' the in-video text explained. The little girl, Lily, who appeared to be speaking Japanese throughout, seemed ecstatic about the walk with their pups. However, she exercised caution and proper safety measures throughout. The clips showed her asking their dog, Lady, to be careful while marching side by side. She even warned her about an incoming car and told her how it was 'dangerous.' The video further showed the toddler alerting the Golden Retriever about more dangers during their walk. She advised the fluffball to look out for spider webs and roses because 'it goes poke poke.' The duo even picked out a dandelion, tried to blow it together, and crossed the road under strict safety measures. They later went after butterflies, talked some more, and Lily also helped clean up Lady's 'poo poo.' After returning home, the little girl helped clean her furry sibling's paws, proving that her attention to detail is truly remarkable. She even praised the pup for being a 'good girl' while showing her extreme levels of care. The post Video: Toddler Taking Golden Retriever Out for Walk Is Truly Wholesome appeared first on DogTime.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga gets $45 million contract update with sticking point
Still, no Jonathan Kuminga contract. Man, this is getting brutal. The Golden State Warriors and their restricted free agent forward can't come to an agreement, and it's hard to see what might change to reach a compromise. NBA insider Marc Stein has said that a two-year, $45 million deal is on the table from the Warriors, but Kuminga isn't biting on the contract that would include a team option in the second year. Kuminga is being asked to waive the right to veto trades in the first year of that deal, Stein writes, something that prevents the player from losing their free agency Bird rights. The Warriors want that from Kuminga, but he doesn't want to waive that. Stein adds that Jaxson Hayes, Taurean Prince and Jeff Green are three players who have waived such a provision already this offseason. MORE: Mavs paying Anthony Davis more than the Lakers are paying Luka Doncic Kuminga has been said to be seeking closer to $30 million per year, but it doesn't seem forthcoming. As an RFA, he doesn't have a ton of negotiating power. He showed his importance to Golden State in the playoffs when Jimmy Butler and then Stephen Curry were injured. In their absences, Kuminga scored a bunch of points in short order to try and keep the Warriors alive. Golden State wants to keep him, given that they've made him a competitive offer, but it doesn't seem they want to go up to Kuminga's price point. He doesn't have a lot of negotiating power given that no other team has made an offer sheet for him as a restricted free agent, basically leaving the power in Golden State's corner. This could drag on for a while, unless the Warriors or Kuminga are willing to meet closer to the middle on some aspect of this negotiation.

Lakers jersey history No. 2 — Derek Fisher
Through the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a total of 506 players suit up for them, going back to their days in Minneapolis. Some were forgettable, some were serviceable, some were good and a select few were flat-out legendary. As the Lakers approach their 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years. It is time to take a look back at one of the more popular Lakers players of all time — Derek Fisher. Fisher came to the Lakers as a late first-round draft pick in 1996 after a modest four-year stint at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He didn't play much as a rookie, but afterward, he started to develop a reputation as a trustworthy role-playing point guard. He lacked footspeed and stood just 6-foot-1, had trouble converting layups in traffic and wasn't an outstanding passer or defender. But he got the job done as a solid floor general who served as a glue guy and hit key shots, especially in big games. Throughout the 2000s, he was a fixture on the Lakers during the Kobe Bryant era under coach Phil Jackson. Fisher helped them win three straight NBA championships to start the decade, mostly as a bench player. During the 2001 Western Conference finals, he went crazy by going 15-of-20 from 3-point range to help the team achieve a four-game sweep en route to a then-record 15-1 postseason mark. Overall, he made 51.5% of his 3-point attempts during that magical run through the 2001 NBA Playoffs. In Game 5 of the second round of the 2004 playoffs, the guard hit a buzzer-beating game-winning shot against the San Antonio Spurs with four-tenths of a second remaining when he received the inbound pass on the play. Fisher left the Lakers in the summer of 2004, but after two seasons with the Golden State Warriors and one with the Utah Jazz, he returned in 2007. He regained his old role as L.A. went to the NBA Finals three straight times from 2008 to 2010 while capturing back-to-back world championships in 2009 and 2010. His clutch heroics allowed the Lakers to claim Game 4 of the 2009 finals, and he helped steady the ship as they overcame a 13-point second-half deficit in Game 7 of the 2010 championship series against the Boston Celtics. Fisher was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2011-12 season, and he retired as a player in 2014. He ended his playing career with averages of 8.3 points and 3.0 assists a game. He quickly reunited with Jackson on the New York Knicks. Jackson had just become the Knicks' president, and he hired Fisher to be their coach. Fisher was fired after one season and change, and during that time, he had a record of 40-96. He would go on to serve three and a half seasons as the coach of the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks before becoming the coach at Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, Calif.
