Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers are ecstatic following their team’s resounding 123-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets, but the main topic of discussion isn’t the victory itself, but rather LeBron James’ seemingly eternal peak.
The NBA highlighted James and Luka Doncic’s developing chemistry on Instagram with separate post-game interviews.
James remarked, “It fits perfectly because I’m a natural wide receiver and he’s a natural quarterback.
Videos highlighting their tandem plays were included with the post, which excited fans about what was to come.
Fans swiftly commented on James’ longevity and ongoing domination in the social media post.
“LeBron throwin’ it down tn has me thinking he’s got 5+ years left,” a fan wrote. “Imagine if LeBron pulls a Tom Brady and wins multiple rings in his 40s,” another commented.
There were even rumors of a career change, with one fan jokingly saying, “LeBron is still young, maybe he should try out for the Rams.
Per ESPN, James finished the game with 25 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Doncic, meanwhile, delivered his best performance yet as a Laker, dropping 32 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.
Their connection was on full display, with Doncic orchestrating the offense and James capitalizing on full-court passes.
The excitement surrounding James and Doncic’s growing chemistry is only fueling more speculation about how much longer LeBron James will continue playing at an elite level.
