LeBron James Reminded Zion Williamson Who Is The King Of The Throne

Lakers superstar LeBron James is the greatest player to ever play the game, and Zion Williamson knows it best. There’s no decline in LeBron’s performance, and he is ready to help the Los Angeles Lakers win a title. LeBron is the most storied basketball player, and Williamson is probably the greatest rookie sensation to enter the league since the 2003 draft. NBA experts knew that their first game would be awesome. And it was.

The 19-year-old Pelicans player confronted the king of basketball on Tuesday night at the Staples Center. Some suggest that Williamson should have taken notes. Yes, Williamson had an excellent game, but LeBron was in the spotlight. This was his game, and he showed everyone that he is the king. He sits on the throne. LeBron scored a season high-40 points in the Lakers’ 118-109 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

LeBron took control over the game in the third quarter. He went on a personal 11-0 scoring run to open the second half of the game. The king was on fire from three-point range and was shooting 5-of-11 from deep. Going to the basket was his thing, too.

Zion Williamson got the best lesson from LeBron James

Williamson was great, too. The young player finished the game with 29 points on 8-of-18 shooting. This was his ninth straight game with at least 20 points. It was also only the second time in his career Williamson has shot under 50 percent from the field.

Los Angeles forced Williamson into their rim protectors in the paint. It was a great way of taking over the control on the court.

According to LeBron, Williamson was “special.” Well, greatness recognizes greatness, and LeBron had words of praise for the young player.

However, former Lakers player Brandon Ingram was better than Williamson. He scored 34 points on 12-of-20 shooting in the loss to his former team.

Williamson was star of the show for the Pelicans. He has an impact on the game, and plays like one of the 25-30 best players in the sport. The Pelicans are 13.1 points per 100 possessions better when he’s on the floor. He has only played 14 games after missing the first half of the season due to a knee surgery.
