LeBron James continues to defy Father Time and shock the world with his inhuman skills at age 38. King James pulled out a new trick from his hat in the last game against the Houston Rockets. In the closing minutes of the second quarter, LeBron posted up against Rockets forward Tari Eason. The 38-year-old then put Eason in a spin cycle and finished with an acrobatic 360 layup, bringing fans to their feet.

Eason was on the receiving end of a lot of slander after he got cooked by the oldest player in the league. Tari Eason’s mother went ballistic on LeBron James’ 1.6 million fans in response to her son’s criticism.

LeBron James surprised himself with the insane 360 layup he pulled off against the Houston Rockets. He posted a video of the circus shot on Instagram, which got nearly 1.6 million likes from his fans. The NBA world also trolled 22-year-old Rockets forward Tari Eason, who was guarding LeBron on that play. Teroya Eason, was not happy with King James’ fans criticizing her son for getting ‘cooked’ by the Lakers superstar. She responded to the criticism on X, “’ He clowning your son’ This isn’t my son getting cooked by a mf at a park. It’s my son getting cooked by his childhood idol Lebron James. While he’s playing DEFENSE on him. Posted by the mf. Liked by his 1.6 million fans. So no I’m not mad; I wanna send him a bottle of wine.”

The Houston Rockets picked Tari Eason 17th in the 2022 NBA draft and he is currently in his sophomore season. Even though the 22-year-old got spun on defense by King James in the last game, he has shown great promise as a young Power Forward. Eason is a gritty two-way player, averaging 6.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. Unfortunately, Eason was on the receiving end of a LeBron James highlight. But that does not mean he is a bad player.
