The NCAA match between Lindenwood and IUPUI on Saturday was marred by an unusual incident involving a fan of LeBron James. As the game began, a supporter sitting courtside in a full James Heat jersey tried to log in. But it was not permitted by the officials, and he was led away from the arena.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The odd occurrence piqued the interest of both the participants and spectators present.

Victor Wembanyama lauded by LeBron James, who describes him as a “special talent”

The first ever matchup between LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama took place. To end an 18-game losing streak, the San Antonio Spurs rallied and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 115-129 on Friday night.

The 17-time NBA champion Lakers won Game 1 of the series on Wednesday (122-119), while the Spurs and Lakers split the victories in the second game.

Following the match, James spoke highly of Wembanyama, describing him as a “special talent.”James told Spectrum Sportsnet, via Lakers Nation, that his past statements regarding him remain unchanged. They have a special skill on their hands. Given his wingspan and ability to block shots outside of his comfort zone, I simply attempted to bring his hands down a bit. So I just shot a little higher, attempted to make a little more space, and managed to knock it down.

With 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 14 assists on 7 for 17 shooting, the all-time leading scorer wrapped up the game. Wembanyama, meanwhile, shot 5/13 from the field and finished with 13 points, 15 boards, and 5 assists. It was entertaining to see the top picks from 2003 and 2023 go at it.

In the meanwhile, the Lakers have dropped two of their past three games, meaning they blew a chance to stay in the West’s playoff Һunt. With 15 victories and 11 losses, they are currently in seventh place in the standings.

After the loss, James informed NBA.com, “Our team is not built to have three starters out. However, you can give credit where credit is due.” I paraphrased. The Spurs were fantastic in tonight’s game. They were masters of the shoot.

On Monday, the Lakers will play the 14-11 New York Knicks in an effort to get back on track. After that, they’ll head on a three-game road trip to face the Minnesota Timberwolves (19-5), the Chicago Bulls (10-17), and also the Oklahoma City Thunder (16-8). The Boston Celtics (19-5) will be their Christmas Day opponent before this.
