LeBron James and the Lakers’ 2023-24 season ended on a sour note after the game 5 defeat to the Nuggets. While LBJ tried his best to force a game 6, the Denver franchise ended all hopes of any further meeting between the two teams this season with a 108-106 win.
LeBron led the Lakers scoring with 30 points on the night, but one of his actions without the ball went viral on social media. In a video shared on social media, LeBron was seen heading toward the courtside, where a fan was mocking James for complaining. Taking notice, the Lakers forward feigned to confront the fan, which resulted in the women getting a jump scare. LeBron was seen joining the action shortly after that while mocking the fan and supposedly calling her “Scary a**”.
It all started in the third quarter of the game when a foul was called against the 39-year-old while he was jostling for possession with Nikola Jokic. Frustrated with the call, the 20-time NBA All-Star was seemingly complaining to the commentary desk, and from there on, the fan in question came into the act.
It is safe to say now that the fan featured in the video got the last laugh, as the Denver side sent the Lakers packing with a lot to think about in the future, especially for LeBron James.
LeBron James Breaks Silence Over His Future With Lakers
Before entering the playoff tournament, LeBron James mentioned that his time in the league is numbered. Following their early exit, the obvious question is the 39-year-old’s future in the Los Angeles franchise.
When LeBron was asked about his plans in the post-game press conference, he stated that going back to his family is his prime concern. Emphasizing the responsibilities and commitments he has towards his family, the 20-time All-Star added, “Obviously, I got my son, one of my boys, trying to decide if he’s going to enter the draft or go back to school. I got another kid that’s playing AU ball. Right now, my daughter’s playing volleyball and my wife’s doing so many great things. It’s about my family right now.”

LeBron further mentioned that he has to join Team USA in Las Vegas after a few months for the training camp, so his body needs rest from this season’s constant hardship. Refusing to answer whether it was his final game in the Purple and Gold, LeBron said, “I’m not going to answer that,” and stormed off the press room.
Considering his performances this year, one can claim that LeBron James still has some pages to fill in the NBA history book.
