LeBron James is taking the NBA hype to the next level. Amidst rumors surrounding his retirement, James has been looking in some fine form. Both on and off the field.

However, when asked about the best thing in the NBA on Christmas day, King James came up with a savage reply.
After the game, a reporter asked the NBA legend, “What’s so great about the NBA today?” Surprising everyone, James stated, “LeBron and Steph.” Such an answer was quite interesting as the two were the biggest names in the league at the moment. Garnering the attention of his teammates immediately, the 4x NBA champion got a response from Austin Reaves. Reaves expressed his appreciation and said, “Great f*cking answer.”
