LeBron James and the Lakers pulled off one of the biggest upsets in NBA Playoffs history in the first round, defeating the Houston Rockets despite missing the services of MVP candidate Luka Doncic. But for King James' record 23rd NBA season to continue, he'd have to pull off a miracle by dethroning the reigning champs, the Oklahoma City Thunder. And that's a miracle that probably won't come true if you watched Game 1 on Tuesday night.
Despite a great game by LeBron, the Lakers lost by 18 points, signifying this could be a quick series. But on the bright side for the four-time NBA MVP, he's got something to look forward to when his team gets eliminated.

According to J.R. Smith, who appeared on FanDuel's "Run It Back" on Tuesday, the 2016 championship Cleveland Cavaliers squad has a 10-year reunion trip planned. And not just any trip, but a big-time golf trip now that James has caught the golf bug bad.
Smith, one of the best celebrity golfers around, was asked about LeBron's new love of the game. And he revealed the following:
"Scotland, Northern Ireland . . . a golf trip," Smith says in the clip. "These boys want to play 36 holes a day . . . I don't know how many they'll finish."
Nice little jab by J.R. there, but you can tell he's thrilled that LeBron has become a golfer.
"They're locked in," Smith says with a smile. "I'm like, OK, now we talking. Now we talking."
Sounds amazing, J.R. And if you guys need any help planning—or anyone to round out your group, please let us know.
