LeBron James Has Surreal Moment in Lakers Return

LeBron James has had a surreal moment in the Lakers during his return. The Lakers have been somewhat struggling so far this season and it is making fans a bit nervous. Many thought that this team would be nearly unstoppable. Sadly, that is not the case, after failed to win a game in the preseason, many wrote it off as nothing to worry about. Now, the struggles have transferred to the regular season and it has been ugly at times.

One cool thing did happened recently for the Lakers though. LeBron James played against one of his son’s oppenents during a recent game. Evan Mobley was playing against his son just a few years ago and now he is playing against LeBron himself. James had some high praise for Mobley after the game.

“He’s going to be a damn good basketball player in this league,” James said. “It’s so crazy because he was just playing against my son a couple years ago. It’s weird. It’s getting more weird by the day. He was playing against my son in the playoffs two years ago and obviously we saw what he did in the tournament — just electrifying. Cleveland has a good one. They’ve done a good job over the years in the draft, I’ll say.”

“He’s probably the same size I was coming into the league. Pretty skinny. Elite shot-blocker. Lob threat. Kind of has some of the same things I had when I was coming into the league. But probably shot it a little bit better than me,” assessed Davis.

“His game is going to progress. He’s going to keep getting better and better. You see the potential to be a three-level scorer, watching film on him a little before the game. I seen him shoot the 3. He hit one tonight. I seen him hit the midrange and floaters. He’d go to the post a lot in the game I’ve watched. He has the potential to be very good. It takes time. But I don’t really compare myself to anybody.”

This is pretty good praise from LeBron and must be a confidence builder for a young player like Mobley.
