“Ridiculous”: Jayson Tatum and Bronny James in Disbelief as 38yr Old LeBron Turns Back Time with Unreal Athleticism

With James Harden on the bench, the Los Angeles Lakers battled an intense overtime against the Los Angeles Clippers. Clippers held a 61-48 lead at the half, suggesting a continued dominance over the Lakers. For the last 11 encounters between the two LA teams, the Clippers had reigned supreme over the purple and gold. However, LeBron James and the squad things changed quickly. The game, while not reaching the scoring heights of the recent Boston Celtics’ 151-point explosion, displayed high exchanges.

For the Lakers, LeBron James led with 35 points. Furthermore, Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell chimed in 27 points each to the mix. On the Clippers’ side, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook collectively racked up 38, 35, and 24 points.

LeBron James serves a vintage highlight

LeBron James, in a thrilling overtime victory, left fans in awe with a dazzling performance. James wrapped up the game with an impressive 35 points. In doing so, he became the first player of his age to achieve such a feat. Furthermore, he treated fans to a classic highlight reminiscent of his early days.

The moment of magic appeared after a critical defensive stop. Austin Reaves and James orchestrated a fastbreak masterpiece. As they closed in on the basket, Reaves lobbed the ball over Russell Westbrook, only for LeBron to snatch it mid-air and stuff it home with his off-hand.

The crowd and James’ teammates erupted with excitement as this electrifying moment unfolded, even leaving his own son, Bronny James, utterly captivated.

Even a rival team’s superstar, Jayson Tatum, couldn’t resist expressing his awe at LeBron James’ astonishing sight. He took to social media, writing, “The sh** Bron is doing is ridiculous lol”
