The Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James finally made his return to the hardwood from injury on Sunday. The superstar missed four games in a row after he injured his ankle during the game against the Mavericks. Despite the severity of the injury, James found his way back to the court earlier than expected. Moreover, he also opened up about his decision regarding a potential season-ending surgery with a witty response, which didn’t seem to sit well with fans, as they swarmed social media with their hilarious opinions. 

The Lakers had a bumpy start to their campaign this season struggling with injuries and performance issues. However, in the absence of James, Anthony Davis led the team to a decent position after the All-Star weekend. The team are currently the 9th seed of the Western Conference, keeping their hopes alive for a playoff berth. Moreover, the 4x NBA Champion’s return is a huge moral boost to the team.

The LeBron James of Feet?

After a disappointing defeat against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, LeBron James addressed the press. One of the reporters asked James if the doctors had suggested surgery for his ankle injury. He immediately responded, “Yeah, two doctors.”

The reporter further asked James why he decided against it. The superstar’s response to it left the reporters giggling in confusion. He said, “Because I went to LeBron James of feet, he told me I shouldn’t.”

The video clip of James’ response surfaced on Twitter, garnering a lot of hilarious responses from NBA fans. One user said, “The doctor flopped and complained about surgery when he walked in.”

James’ teammate Austin Reaves managed to fill the huge shoes of the King in his absence in the last four games. The team also put up a convincing performance and Reaves even dropped his career-high score of 35 points in the process. Moreover, Reaves’s brilliant performance even questioned the superstar’s place in the line-up. However, King James has shut off the conversation with his return on Sunday, prompting the trolls to get back to work.
