Being one of the best players to ever grace an NBA court, you are prone to having a ton of critics along the way.
In a recent media appearance for Nesiaukite Live in his native Lithuania, New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas was playing a game of charades when he decided to mock the Los Angeles Lakers superstar.
Valanciunas started wiping his eyes like he was crying and pretending to be hit in the head by a basketball. The show’s host guessed who it was in under 30 seconds.
Valanciunas is somewhat underrated, as he averaged 17.8 points and 11.4 rebounds a game this past season.
His contract extension kicks in next season. He’s looking forward to seeing the Pelicans build upon their epic turnaround, calling the Smoothie King Center’s late-season atmosphere among the best he’s experienced in the NBA.
“It was great,” he said. “Probably one of the loudest arenas I’ve played in for my entire career. I’m happy to see fans come in, being loud, cheering for us. I don’t want to disappoint them. Next year we need them.”

When LeBron comes to town, he just might have to pay for mocking The King.
