The Los Angeles Lakers are in a tightly contested battle against the other LA team, the Clippers. And LeBron James is already off like a bullet. The man seems to have got his dominating self from 21 years back on the court tonight. In what was an epic chase-down block, the King made short work of Amir Coffey’s hard work.

And the fans just can’t get enough of James and his incredible athleticism. The Lakers fans are going wild on X (formerly Twitter) with exclamations of joy and excitement. One user commented, “This guy isn’t aging one bit”.

It would be hard to disagree with the James fan, especially given the care LeBron takes in keeping his body fit and healthy. Another LeBron fan seems to be still in shock as he speaks for practically everyone when he says, “Man the amount of times I forget… that LeBron James is 39 years old.”

Another fan has added emojis for fear that his emotions might not be conveyed by words alone. And of course, no comment is complete without bringing attention to Bron’s age!

This next user can’t make head or tail of how James is doing what he is doing. And at an elite level with crazy athleticism.

And finally, this lovely fan has a simple compliment for the GOAT.

Both the Lakers and Clippers are fresh off a loss against Suns and Kings, respectively. So, there is no doubt that they will be looking to get a win. The Clippers particularly will be looking forward to getting back to their winning ways.

The Purple & Gold, though they have improved considerably after a disappointing slew of games post the IST championship, are still the 10th seed in the Western Conference. They have to work extra hard to make it to the playoffs this season.

The LA Clippers will be looking to make their mark this season

The Clippers, for their part, have managed to regroup after a sudden addition in the form of James Harden and have remained largely healthy throughout the season. With Kawhi Leonard also turning into a scoring machine, LA has reaped the benefits greatly.

But most importantly, the Los Angeles Clippers have come together as a team to reach the ultimate goal. Given that the Clippers now boast a Big 4 in Leonard, Harden, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook, it’s only natural that fans and the NBA world would expect only excellent results.
