Video Of LeBron James Arriving To Lakers Game Against Suns Is Going Viral

The Los Angeles Lakers lost the game to the Phoenix Suns but this los wasn’t the biggest topic of the night. A video of Lakers superstar LeBron James went viral and many would say he stole the show. He always does. The four-time NBA champion attracted everyone’s attention during his arrival at Crypto.com Arena.

The king of basketball walked into his home stadium with a cigar in his left hand.

The crew of NBA on TNT was shocked. Impressed. Shocked.

“That’s a cigar, bro,” Kenny “The Jet” Smith said. “That guy is walking into the arena with a cigar. Yo, that’s disrespectful. If we lose that game and a dude came in with a cigar… I ain’t a fighter, but I’d fight everybody in the locker room.”

LeBron was wearing a face mask, so he wasn’t able to take a puff until he takes it off of his face. What can we say… This was a gangsta move from the king.

LeBron James, Lakers players to go viral again

King James was spectacular during the game. However, his brilliance wasn’t enough as LeBron didn’t get much help from his teammates.

LeBron will turn 37 later this month and he finished the night with 34 points. The Lakers were without Anthony Davis. Dwight Howard didn’t suit up for the team right after clearing the NBA’s health and safety protocols. DeAndre Jordan wasn’t brilliant too.

Lakers players had hard time containing Chris Paul and Devin Booker. What does that mean? LeBron singlehandedly kept the Lakers in the first half of the game. He had 19 points at halftime and heavy load. LeBron had to initiate offensive attacks and also contain DeAndre Ayton on the defensive end.

Both the Lakers and the Suns finished under 50% from the field and under 30% from the three-point line.

Russell Westbrook had decent performance and finished the night with 20 points on 10-20 shooting. Trevor Ariza saw some action during the game and offered 12 points. That’s all. Nobody else hit double digit during the game. Seven Suns players had double figures.
