Before the Lakers’ game against the Suns earlier this week, LeBron James let go of his inner dancer. As Jay Rock’s music started playing on the arena speakers during the pregame warm-ups, LeBron started to dance. Before nailing a perfect layup dunk, the Lakers’ all-time great performed some iconic hip gyrations.
Of course, LeBron is a pretty big music fan. He can often be seen dancing and vibing before and after his games. Meanwhile, Diddy recently claimed that LeBron was the best singer in the NBA. “Nah, my brother @KingJames got the best voice in the NBA! LOVE LOVE!! LOVE,” the music icon wrote on social media after LeBron posted a video of himself singing “Pick Up”. However, it’s a pretty bold claim considering that the NBA also includes actual bona fide rapper Damian Lillard, aka Dame D.O.L.L.A.
However, slick dance moves weren’t the only thing that LeBron contributed to the night. LeBron blew past his 30-minute playing time guideline as he put on a masterclass to save the Lakers from a 0-2 start to the season. James played the entire fourth quarter against the Suns, when his minutes limit suggested he should only play about half the frame. In that time, LeBron scored 10 points, helping eliminate a 12-point Suns lead and pushing the Lakers to a 100-95 victory.
“I looked at the time, the score, and the state of the game when he [had coach Darvin Ham] asked if I could go the quarter, and it was a simple option for me. I am aware of the amount of effort I have had to put in to play quarters, or whatever the situation may be. Although I am aware that we have a structure in place, I felt that I needed to think outside the box tonight.”” stated LeBron following the match. Two games into his 21st season, the seasoned player finished with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. After receiving backlash for his performance in the season opener against Denver, Anthony Davis recorded a double-double of 30 points versus Phoenix.
