On social media, a photo of LeBron James performing an absurdly high-flying leap went viral for all the wrong reasons. James offered his thoughts in response to the image.
On Thursday night, when the Cleveland Cavaliers were playing the Phoenix Suns, LeBron James had a phenomenal fourth quarter. Toward the end of the game, he made a really impressive leap to deflect an inbounds ball that was intended for Kevin Durant. The image of James flying through the air went viral, and he shared his thoughts on the matter as well.
That struck me as extremely strange at that very moment. To tell you the truth, I find it hard to imagine that a man who is 38 years old and in his 21st season can still jump so high in the air, especially toward the end of a game in which he has already played for 35 minutes. It is a clear indication of how well LeBron takes care of his body on a day-to-day basis.
As for the other events that went place on the court, LeBron James took control of the game in the fourth quarter by scoring 10 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a victory after they had fallen behind. They entered the fourth quarter in a 12-point hole, but James led them to a comeback victory, scoring 21 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, dishing out 9 assists, stealing 2 balls, and blocking 2 shots.
The Awe That LeBron James Elicited From NBA Fans
That is something that is going to leave an impression on you regardless of whether or not you are a fan of James. As they reacted to the picture that went viral, NBA fans were filled with admiration for him.
It was hard to think that the player with the most experience in the league would do anything like this, “Sheesh. “How is it that he is the oldest player on the court and yet still one of the most athletic?”
One of LeBron James’s fans predicted that he will still be playing basketball in ten years, saying, “Got 10 more years left in the tank.”
Someone made a joke about the NBA doing a drug test on LeBron James, “They finna drug test him.”
A supporter speculates that LeBron James might not be human, saying, “Bron’s gotta be a cyborg there’s no way.”
Someone said they believed this photograph to be a hoax, “I was thinking it was photoshopped gang.”
Because something like this shouldn’t be conceivable for someone who is getting close to their 40s, I can’t say that I would blame someone for suspecting that it was photoshopped. Then again, LeBron James has made a career out of making the impossible possible, so in a way, it perhaps isn’t that unexpected because of what he’s accomplished in the past.
