The NBA and National Basketball Players Association today jointly announced that the Los Angeles Lakers’ Luka Dončić and the Lakers franchise secured the top spots on the NBA’s Most Popular Jersey and Team Merchandise lists.
James had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists to help the Lakers move 6 1/2 games ahead of the Clippers in the West with seven games remaining.
Since the season was suspended in March, NBA resumed for the first time because of the lockdowns triggered by coronavirus pandemic. The return was characterized by positive tweets as well as highlights with Lebron James of Los Angeles Lakers stealing the spotlight in the absence of viewers, with a game-winner against Clippers.
The men were seen sporting ‘Black Lives Matter’ T-shirts as they took a knee while singing the American national anthem. For the first games for 140 days, referees and game officials joined stars from Utah Jazz, New Orleans Pelicans as well as Lakers and Clippers in taking a knee to condemn racial inequality and police brutality.

Black Lives Matter was also written on the courts at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, where the NBA plans to finish its season with 22 teams inside a bio-secure bubble.
James followed his own miss and made the winning shot with 12.8 seconds left as the first-place Lakers beat Clippers 103-101. Finishing with 16 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists, James struggled on 6-of-19 shooting.
“The NBA game was still bigger than just the ball, the wall, ten on the floor men and referees,” James said after the match. “It’s a chance to use this forum to spread lots of happiness and positivity around the world.”
Speaking on racism ‘s hot subject, James said, “We want to place our foot on the ignition. We ‘re living with a lot of inequality, a lot of racial disparity, and a lot of police brutality, not only in my neighborhood and not only with black people but with other people of color.
Anthony Davis scored 34 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Lakers and Kyle Kuzma added 16 points for the Lakers (50-14), who increased their lead to 6 1/2 games over the second-place Clippers (44-21) in the Western Conference standings.
The Clippers wiped out a two-point halftime deficit with a 14-1 surge to open the third quarter for a 66-55 advantage. However, consecutive 3-pointers by Davis put the Lakers up 72-71 with 1:41 remaining the period. The Clippers took a 77-76 lead heading in the fourth quarter.
The Clippers committed 22 turnovers compared to 16 for the Lakers. The Lakers prevailed despite shooting 39 percent from the floor to 43.2 percent for the Clippers.
