Here’s What LeBron James Said and Did in Disbelief After Talen Horton-Tucker’s Performance vs Clippers

Talen Horton-Tucker has caught the attention of us all. The second-year Laker was brilliant in his first two preseason games with the team. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated their city rivals twice, and Talen was the star of the show. He stole the spotlight and the king of basketball took notice of it. Four-time NBA champion LeBron James saw what young Talen did on the basketball court and had nothing but words of praise.

Many would agree that Horton-Tucker is the newest darling in LA. The young man scored 33 points on 11-of-17 shooting from the field on Sunday. LeBron was more than impressed. He couldn’t believe that his younger teammate pulled out anything like this. He even took off his mask and spiked it on the seat. Yes, he was THAT impressed!

Following the brilliant win, LeBron took to his social media to warn other NBA teams about the second-round selection.

LeBron James is impressed with Talen Horton-Tucker

Young Talen showed off pretty much every skill he has in the 131-106 win over Kawhi Leonard’s Clippers. He hit four of his five three-pointers and stacked 10 rebounds. Horton-Tucker also had four assists and four steals. Impressive for a second-year Laker.

In his rookie campaign with the team, Horton-Tucker didn’t see much playing time. However, things changed inside the Orlando bubble and he started showing flashes of his true power.

If you take these numbers into consideration, you’d notice that the Lakers will enter the upcoming season with a deep roster. Guards Dennis Schroder, Alex Caruso and Wesley Matthews will do their thing. Big man Montrezl Harrell and forward Kyle Kuzma are expected to provide great game.

The US is dealing with a deadly pandemic, and the NBA does everything to protect players. LA players are fully locked and ready for another long season. NBA experts predict another deep postseason for the Lakers, and we all know that LeBron and his squad will play their best basketball. Winning back-to-back titles? Why not? LA players can do the impossible with this roster. They look much better than any other team.
