LeBron James, star of the Los Angeles Lakers, has given his adoring fans many laughs throughout the course of his nearly twenty-year professional career.
This tendency resumed on Friday night in a preseason game for LA, when he did something completely out of character.
This mаy be his funniest mоment tо dаte, whаt with dоnning spоrts gоggles, shооting deаth glаres аt the cаmerаs, аnd dаncing оn the sidelines.
After scoring 12 points in 18 minutes of action, the four-time MVP decided to call it a night.
James then changed into his street clothes, snacked on some fruit, and sat on the bench to watch the rest of the game like a regular fan.
Even with their most famous fan sitting on the bench with them, the Lakers still lost 129-125 to the Warriors.
Jonathan Kuminga, a reserve for the Warriors, came off the bench and scored 26 points to finish with the game’s highest total.
Stephen Curry was outstanding as usual, contributing 18 points in just 21 minutes of play.
Taurean Prince ended up being the Lakers’ leading scorer with 17, and Austin Reaves was not far behind with 16.
The Purple and Gold would have appreciated it if James had played the entire game, but he is wisely not pushing himself too hard at this late stage of his career.
James, who will soon turn 40, needs all the energy he can get these days, and he finds that eating fruit during games helps.
We’ll let him off the hook for this weird but humorous moment, one of many he’s had throughout the years, because he’s been so dominant for so long.
