On a rare NBA off day, superstars take a breather, and among them is LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers sensation. Just hours after dazzling the NBA world with his 360-degree spin lay-up, LeBron returned to share his love for the NFL.
LeBron James is undeniably fixated on the NFL, a passion evident in various instances where he enthusiastically shared his thoughts about the game and its stars on his social media platforms. After his appearance in an NFL game between the Rams and Browns, LeBron shares a unique reminder to his fans.
LeBron James flexes his NBA record
After the Thanksgiving break, NBA players are enjoying another breather before the knockout stage of the In-season Tournament. This break is one of the two planned off days for players to adapt to the new format within the season.
The second holiday is set for December 10, a day after the In-season Championship game. The Lakers, having qualified for the Knockout stage, are gearing up to face the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
As teams prepare for the new format, LeBron James took a moment to relax, watching the NFL. Cameras caught James chilling at SoFi Stadium in California ahead of his quarter-final game against the Suns. The Lakers’ superstar was spotted stretching his legs while supporting his favorite team, the Cleveland Browns.
Additionally, the official X handle of the Los Angeles Rams shared a video clip featuring James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the stadium. However, the King himself also shared a post in his X handle after the game, “Facts!!! A WHOLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEE LOTTA [Buckets],” accompanied with a bucket emoji.
Despite a challenging start to the season, the Lakers have found their rhythm, and LeBron James, in his 21st season, shows little sign of decline. The next challenge for Los Angeles is a home game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday as part of the NBA’s In-Season Tournament.
LeBron has a chance to secure $100,000 against the Suns
With the NBA’s upcoming inauguration of the first-ever in-season tournament, many questions arise, one of them being how much the players earn in case they win. The winning team of the NBA Cup and the players are set to win $500,000 each.
The players on the winning team will each receive $500,000, and the second-place winners will get $200,000. In contrast, the teams losing in the semifinals will be awarded $100,000, and the players on the losing side in the quarterfinals will each get $50,000.
LeBron James and the Lakers have made it to the knockout stages in the ongoing in-season tournament, and are in full focus to face the Phoenix Suns in one of the knockout matches. Going by the stipulated earnings attached to teams and players that made it to this stage of the competition, LeBron and the Lakers, who will be facing Kevin Durant’s Suns, have a chance to earn up to $100,000 if they advance to the semi-finals.
However, LeBron and the players on the Lakers roster might earn a lesser amount if they stumble at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday against the Suns, making $50,000 inevitable for the players.
