Crowned winner and MVP of the In-Season Tournament this Saturday, LeBron James made the news almost single-handedly in the world of US sports. Another superstar, however, tried to steal the spotlight… and could now do so in Los Angeles.

As if his collective record was still blank. At almost 39 years old, LeBron James still displays an immense hunger for titles, worthy of that which inhabited him during his younger years. This was once again transcribed in recent hours, while his Lakers played in the final of the In-Season Tournament. A relatively major event for which he was obviously present.

LeBron James now in second place in Los Angeles?

Heroic during the previous round, against the Pelicans, LeBron took a bit of a step back this Saturday, against Indiana. “Simply” author of 24 points and 11 rebounds, he let Anthony Davis shine in the final… while inheriting the tournament MVP trophy. A way for him to put himself back in the spotlight, a few hours after abandoning him in favor of a certain Shohei Ohtani:

Big news regarding MLB free agency: Shohei Ohtani signs with the LA Dodgers.
A true superstar of major league baseball, Ohtani was named MVP twice in his career. But while his contract with the Angels ended at the end of the 2023 season, he has just decided to join… the local rivals of the Dodgers. A news a priori far removed from the NBA and its current affairs, but which Skip Bayless brought closer to James, his favorite target:

Move over LeBron, you are now only the 2nd biggest star in Hollywood in terms of sport.

Headliner of Angeleno sport since his arrival in LA in 2018, LBJ would thus be condemned to lose this status following the arrival of Ohtani. In any case, this is what his most loyal detractor believes… who perhaps forgets that the Japanese had also already been playing in the City of Angels for 6 years.

 

Unless he really focuses on the Hollywood district, to which he refers here in his tweet.

Is LeBron James’ reign over Hollywood sports doomed to end? For Skip Bayless, it won’t be long after the signing of Shohei Ohtani to the Dodgers. Not sure, however, that the Japanese will succeed in crushing the King’s aura.
