LeBron James gives fans a new meme during Nuggets game
The older and more experienced, the more LeBron James has become ridiculous. No one is sure if he is on purpose or not with his hilarious gestures or the funny faces he tends to make every night. But one thing is certain: watching James on the court for Los Angeles Lakers put a smile on the face of the fans, one way or another.
On Tuesday night, in the Lakers’ game against the Denver Nuggets on the road, James decided to troll the opposing team’s bench before tip-off. Before the game started, James walked over to the Nuggets bench and curled his fingers like a jack in a box – with the middle finger slightly raised. But before he completely reversed them, James stopped, all the while a huge smile was plastered on his face.
LeBron is having fun there. 🤣💀

At 41, James just might not be farting anymore because of some of the gestures he makes on the court. But he’s having fun there, which is the most important thing. Basketball isn’t easy, as he said in that iconic NBA 2K14 intro, so it’s a good thing the Lakers star is finding ways to make things easy for himself by taking things easy.
Lakers star LeBron James ends his iconic career in the HOF
Now a year older in his 40s, James is showing more signs of basketball mortality than ever. He can still fill the stat sheet, and is increasingly establishing himself as a backup alongside Luka Doncic, but his athletic decline is more evident with each game.
The The Lakers probably won’t give James one last chance in the championship, not with this current roster. But James seems content with where he is as he winds down his illustrious career.
