Los Angeles – Some of the greatest and even most successful sports teams in the world are based in Los Angeles. Several of the world’s top athletes are also happy to call it home.
One of the greatest sites to watch a game is the City of Angels, which is home to SoFi Stadium, the Crypto.com Arena, the Rose Bowl, BMO Stadium, and more. For lovers of LA sports, a dull moment never occurs. Here are some of LA’s
most significant sports stories for 2023, listed in no particular order.In Hollywood, it’s officially Sho-Time. After signing a historic $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and leaving the Los Angeles Angels, superstar Shohei Ohtani announced his move up the 5 Motorway. Whatever your opinion of LeBron James, you cannot deny his excellence on the court. The 19-time All-Star and four-time champion solidified his status even more when he overtook the great Laker Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the league’s all-time top scorer. A few games in the 2023-24 season, Los Angeles native James Harden finally got his wish and was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the LA Clippers, joining fellow Southern California natives Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Russell Westbrook and Norman Powell.
Harden had an eyebrow-raising introductory press conference, and his sound bite of “I’m not a system player, I’m a system,” dominated the headlines. Harden’s start with the Clippers was a disaster marked by a six-game losing streak. However, after some growing pains, chemistry-building and roster adjustments, the Clippers then shocked the league by winning nine games in a row. After some grueling holiday losses, the Clippers remain determined to win the franchise’s first championship.
