LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, had an exuberant reaction upon learning that he had become the oldest player in the NBA at the age of 38. This milestone was achieved following the retirement of Miami Heat power forward/center Udonis Haslem at the age of 43.
Within the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo, California, a championship-or-bust mentality is taking shape, with key players for the 2023 season, including Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Anthony Davis, and Christian Wood, all contributing to this mindset.
LeBron James, a true Lakers legend, has recently been involved in various activities, including teasing his role in recruiting league MVP Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia 76ers. Additionally, he shared his reaction to an impressive compilation video featuring his signature celebration move, known as the ‘Silencer.’
A video capturing LeBron James’ lively response to the news of being the ‘oldest player’ in the NBA was posted on Thursday evening and quickly garnered over 1.5 million views on X. While many fans shared in his excitement, there were also some who took playful jabs at his age.
Despite the enthusiastic reaction, some fans couldn’t resist poking fun at LeBron James, suggesting that “LeGrandpa” should consider retiring soon. Others even playfully trolled him about their predictions for the upcoming season in light of this proclamation.
