Shohei Ohtani, the designated hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball, recently amazed MLB fans and fans of other sports with his remarkable performance in the Angels’ 20-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night. His outstanding display earned praise from athletes across different sports, including Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
James, who is widely regarded as the greatest player of all time in NBA history, was often seen reacting to the clutch performances of athletes in different sports. The 39-year-old, who was recently trolled by NBA fans, was stunned by Ohtani’s performances. In his recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), James wrote, “THIS GUY IS UNREAL!!!! WOWZERS” to praise the Dodgers star.

He made MLB history by becoming the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season.
