LeBron James and the LA Lakers host Jabari Smith Jr. and the Houston Rockets tonight. It was the first game between the four-time MVP and the rookie from Auburn.
The no. 3 pick of the 2022 NBA Draft had a surprise for “King James” just a few seconds after the game had started:
“Hey, you played against my dad in your first NBA game ever. Sacramento
James almost couldn’t believe what he had just heard:
“Really? Why do you do that to me?
Smith Jr. just wanted to emphasize a point:
“You feel old, don’t you?”
