"LeBron James Stay Capping!": NBA Twitter Doesn't Hold Back After 'The King' Claims He Already Knew What Dirk Nowitzki's Statue Would Be

The Los Angeles Lakers made their way to Texas as they took on the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas. LeBron James and his Lakers entered the American Airlines center hoping to break their three-game losing streak. Instead, ‘cowboy’ Luka Doncic handed them their fourth loss in a row.

The Lakers had a 14-point first-half lead, but a huge 51-point 3rd quarter put the Mavs back up on top. The Mavs won the contest 124-115.

It was a big win for the Mavs. Not only did they secure a Christmas win for the fans, but they also made sure they did not lose on the day they unveiled Dirk Nowitzki’s statue. LeBron recorded his sixth straight 30+ point game as he scored 38 points to lead all scorers. However, that wasn’t enough to stop the Mavs.

LeBron James claimed he knew what Dirk Nowitzki’s statue would be

On October 14th, before the season started, the Mavs announced that they’d unveil a statue for Dirk in “All Four One” ceremony. There were various ideas floated about what the statue would look like, but the most common one was his one-legged fadeaway jumper.

As always, LeBron James took it a little too far. He called Dirk the greatest international player and then proceeded to claim that he knew what Dirk’s statue was going to look like.
