LeBron James often hailed as ‘King James’, recently garnered laughter and attention on social media by using an old viral video to celebrate his unique achievements.
King James’s exceptional 40-point game for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Oklahoma City Thunder was humorously likened to a line from viral plane lady Tiffany Gomas, stating it’s “not real.”
LeBron’s outstanding performance against the Thunder marked a historic moment. Just shy of his 39th birthday, he became the oldest NBA player to score 40 points in a game without missing a three-pointer. His incredible form in his 21st season continues to defy expectations, with LeBron now holding 14 of the 15 highest-scoring games for a player of his tenure.
LeBron’s use of the viral video was met with joy and laughter from fans and fellow athletes. In an Instagram post, he humorously captioned, “Somebody come to get her ASAP! She trying to blow my damn cover!” alongside the plane lady clip, where he is edited in as the person Gomas describes as “not real.”
The post elicited reactions from celebrities like WNBA champion A’ja Wilson, NBA great Gilbert Arenas, and Odell Beckham Jr. Fans expressed their amusement in the comments, with one stating, “Lebron really sh*tposting on his account,” applauding his sense of humour.
LeBron’s playful interaction with fans shows his ability to challenge what’s possible in an NBA career, both on and off the court.
