LeBron James continues to astound fans and critics alike with his skills and humor both on and off the court. The 2023 season has seen LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers start with a record of 8 wins and 6 losses, showing their determination to bounce back after last year’s disappointing finish.
Amidst this quest for revenge, LeBron James recently had some lighthearted moments during a game against the Houston Rockets, as he shared a playful moment with the Los Angeles Lakers forward Christian Wood.
LeBron James adds humor to Lakers vs Rockets clash
LeBron James, known for his impressive basketball skills and off-court charisma, has managed to capture the attention of fans once again with his latest antics. During a recent game, LeBron unveiled a new and intriguing handshake with teammate Christian Wood that instantly went viral.
Over the years, LeBron has earned a reputation for having secret handshakes with almost everyone within the Lakers organization. From coaches to players, and even the team photographer, no one is exempt from his personalized greeting. This time, however, LeBron took it up a notch by incorporating an unexpected element into his routine – the pretend passing of a blunt.
The playful gesture brought laughter to both Bron and Wood, highlighting the camaraderie and fun-loving spirit in the Lakers’ locker room. The video of the moment quickly spread like wildfire across social media platforms, with fans and basketball enthusiasts alike chuckling at the light-hearted interaction between the two players.
Despite the playful antics, LeBron James and the Lakers remained focused on their game, securing a 105-104 victory. LeBron’s stellar performance included an impressive 37 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds, further solidifying his status as one of the league’s top athletes.
Lakers seek redemption against Rockets
The Los Angeles Lakers are set for a highly anticipated rematch against the Houston Rockets, seeking redemption after their blowout loss last week. The Lakers were stunned by the Rockets’ dominant performance, succumbing to a 129-94 defeat. However, this time around, the Lakers will have the return of Anthony Davis, who missed the previous game due to a hip injury. Although not in full health, Davis’s defensive prowess is unmatched and will undoubtedly make a significant impact.
LeBron James, who recently recovered from a calf contusion, is also expected to be in top form after an impressive showing against the Portland Trail Blazers. His stellar performance, along with the Lakers’ determination, could prove vital in securing victory against a surprisingly strong Rockets team this season.
The Lakers are aware that starting strong is crucial, considering the Rockets’ quick start in their previous encounter. With Darvin Ham making changes to the starting lineup, and bringing in Cam Reddish for Austin Reaves, the Lakers hope to find more success and capitalize on the adjustments made.
As the Lakers gear up for their showdown with the Rockets, it is essential to note the impressive stats they have showcased so far in the 2023 season. LeBron James has been a standout player, averaging 25.5 points per game with a remarkable field goal percentage of 57.2% with D’Angelo Russell also being instrumental, contributing 6.5 assists per game and averaging 18.4 points.
With these statistics, the Lakers are hopeful that they can build upon their already impressive performances and secure a much-needed win against the Rockets to solidify their redemption campaign.
