Watch: “You played against my dad your first NBA game ever”

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?”
