LeBron James has faced an injury-plagued start to this season which saw him spend some time on the bench. A few games ago, he was seen taking up the role of a pseudo head coach. Since we saw him discussing tactics and giving suggestions to execute plays during the game breaks. He wore a grey outfit in that game.
In tonight’s game against the Rockets, we saw a fan dressed up similar to LeBron’s outfit that day. The fan’s beard and build was enough to have other fans confuse him as LeBron James. Here’s how social media responded to spotting LeBron’s clone in the crowd.

Did LeBron clone himself so he can last longer in the NBA and break all of Jordan’s records in an attempt to get a leg up in the GOAT argument?

What does this mean for the Lakers and LeBron?
They listed LeBron James as questionable on the injury list for tonight. Yet, he has still played in tonight’s game and had an impressive performance so far. After the game against Cleveland, the media was told that LeBron might not play against the Rockets. So we did not expect LeBron James to be on his 100% fitness tonight.

Nevertheless, LeBron came out on the floor and ensured that he leads the Lakers to a victory tonight. As the team has a dominant display over the Houston Rockets, the Lakers will look to close out this victory in the last quarter.
We’ll have to wait to see if we get any response from LeBron on the fans spotting a clone in the crowd. Spotting such a fan in the crowd is a confidence booster for any player if he actually inspired his outfit from LeBron.

The turnovers and hesitation to shoot from beyond the arc really hampered the Rockets’ game tonight. They need to work on being more decisive with their passes and their confidence in shooting.
For the Lakers, this performance comes as a tremendous relief after a series of close games that went down to the wire. Carmelo Anthony had an impressive performance, he will look to continue his performance if he aims to move up the all-time scoring list.
