LeBron James’ Wild Photo From Lakers Win Over Suns Goes Viral
The Los Angeles Lakers earned a hard-fought victory over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.
There is a fair case to be made that they probably shouldn’t have had to try so hard against a squad that was missing both Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, but Kevin Durant exploding for 39 points is never easy to deal with.
While the win itself was nice, one thing fans at home couldn’t stop talking about after the fact was LeBron James. The fact that he, at age 38, is playing at such a high level is incredible.
One photo in particular really encapsulates what a physical marvel James is.

NBA fans never shy away from offering their two cents on various things.
This proved to be no exception.

Also interesting about this outing was the fact that, after expressing his annoyance with his minutes restriction one game earlier, James wound up playing 35 minutes against Phoenix.
He addressed that after the outing.
“[Coach] asked me if I could go the [whole] quarter, and I looked at the time and the score and what was going on in the game, and it was an easy answer for myself,” James said.
“I know how much work I’ve put in to be able to play quarters or whatever the case may be. And I understand that we definitely have a system put in place, but tonight called for me to go outside the box.”

This 2023-24 NBA season has certainly gotten off to an interesting start for James and the Lakers.
Where will it ultimately go from here? Time will tell.
