LeBron James Trash Talked 6ft 8″ Nuggets Forward
The Los Angeles Lakers are on a five-game win streak! Since LeBron James turned 38, the Lakers haven’t lost a single game. During this five-game span, LBJ has suited up four times, averaging 38 points in the time frame.

The King has been absolutely incredible, and the Lakers are feeding off of his energy.
Recently, an article by The Athletic claimed that LBJ is tired of the Lakers and wants a change. However, Bron took it to his Twitter to dispute the same and call out the reporter for his work. LeBron and the team have been putting in the work, and they’re playing the best basketball of their season. Even if LBJ wanted a change, he is way too smart to put it out there like this.
Along with his front-office capabilities, Bron is also known for his trash-talking skills.
LeBron James trash-talked Aaron Gordon
The Lakers and the Nuggets have matched up three times this season already. Tomorrow, they face each other for the fourth and final meeting of the season. So far, the Lakers lead the season series 2-1 over 2x MVP Nikola Jokic and co.
In one of their matchups this season, a fan recorded a conversation between LeBron James and Aaron Gordon. Austin Reaves was on the free throw line, and LBJ was seen talking to the 2016 Slam Dunk contest runner-up.
“That sh** might work on the other forwards in the NBA, but not on me. You ain’t the only **** that lifts. You ain’t the only **** that’s strong.”

The 6ft 8″ Nuggets forward was trying to push Bron around to close him out, but clearly, that didn’t work out. The Lakers superstar spends over $1.5 million a year, just to keep himself in the best shape possible.
Can LeBron beat Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record and lead the Lakers to the playoffs?
Of the two questions above, one is guaranteed to happen, and the other is a long shot. LeBron James trails Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by 422 points. It isn’t a lot, and with the way the King has been performing, it should take him 15-17 games at the max.
On the other hand, the Lakers have a 19-21 record, good for the 11th seed in the West. They’re 7.5 games behind the #1 seed, and just one game behind the 6th-seeded Warriors. The Lakers are playing brilliantly right now, but can they sustain their current hot streak? They may book a playoff berth if they can, but that’s a big IF.
