LeBron James Compares Himself to Legendary Singer after Filthy Move on Christmas Day
The Los Angeles Lakers had a dominant game against the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day, and LeBron James used this filthy move to compare himself to Michael Jackson. The four-time NBA champion converted a nice fadeaway over Mavericks star Luka Doncic. His shot made headlines and LeBron took to his Instagram to draw a comparison. Los Angeles finished the night with a 138-115 win over Dallas. Most NBA analysts would agree that the best has yet to come.
The big game revolved around LeBron and Doncic. King James had 22 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds in his 31 minutes on the floor. His younger opponent had team-high 27 points and seven assists.
