Episode Details

LeBron James still reigns supreme in the NBA’s scheduling game — the league’s opening week and Christmas Day lineups are built around his legacy, not Boston’s Jaylen Brown return. Philly gets the spotlight with high-profile matchups against LeBron’s former team, the Lakers, while Boston’s marquee game is against the Knicks — a big one, but secondary to LeBron’s narrative. The Sixers open against Cleveland, LeBron’s hometown, and on Christmas, they face the Lakers again — a Finals rematch shoved into an earlier slot. The NBA’s message? LeBron’s story is king, and everyone else has to wait their turn.
