After the Lakers’ victory against the 76ers this Friday (101-94), a new photo of LeBron James at (very) high altitude has turned social networks upside down. The attitude of one of his partners on the latter then pushed him to comment on it.

Given the emergency situation they find themselves in in the race for the playoffs, each victory seems essential. As such, hosting a sick team like Philadelphia appeared to be a must-win for the Lakers this Friday. And yet, Darvin Ham’s men had to fight hard until the final moments to achieve the success they were looking for (101-94).

Once is not customary, they can thank LeBron James and his 20 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists accumulated in this meeting. At 39 years old, the King continues to carry his team, but also to smash the circles of the league. Author of several big dunks, he thus found himself in a photo which quickly went around the web, and in which the behavior of D’Angelo Russell made him tick.

Like Dwyane Wade a few years ago, Russell saw fit to jump with his arms outstretched in front of a LeBron in full swing towards the hoop. This, with the added bonus of a homemade grimace as the Purple & Gold only took a 4 point lead. All this obviously amused LBJ a lot, as did Internet users who appreciated these signs of good understanding between the two men:

He loves DLo, like the rest of us

Moments like this show the camaraderie and how much fun there can be in basketball

Even in games that are anything but obvious and with close scores, the Lakers manage to have fun with simple things. LeBron James’ fierce dunk and D’Angelo Russell’s reaction had the merit of satisfying them.
