A former NBA champion believes that the Oklahoma City Thunder could face a greater threat from a different Western Conference team, rather than LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers. The Oklahoma City Thunder have undeniably been the best team in the NBA during the 2024-25 regular season.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green discussed the possibility of facing off against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2025 NBA playoffs. "Anytime we face LeBron, it's always cinematic," Green said during an appearance on NBA Today. "It's always an incredible challenge, so that's always fun."

LeBron James, Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers are healthy for a huge showdown with Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

LeBron James is very happy for his former Lakers teammate, Anthony Davis, as he starts to find success with the Mavericks.

Steph Curry and the Warriors end their six-game road trip with a game against LeBron James in Los Angeles as two new stars join the California rivalry.

James was already sharing the floor with a marquee star in Anthony Davis, so teaming Dončić wasn't a dramatic change in that regard. Granted, Luka is one of the most ball-dominant players in the league, which is a distinction that doesn't apply to Davis.
