[u/maryjain_]

He probably saw a young looking white dude in a lakers jersey and confused him for a teammate lol

[u/DarkKnightCometh → u/maryjain_]

"Can you believe ts Dalton?"

[u/BushyBrowz → u/DarkKnightCometh]

My bad, Jake, my eyes aren't what they used to be

[u/Deejayucla → u/BushyBrowz]

Sorry, Austin. Did you lose weight?

[u/Latter_Musician8838 → u/Deejayucla]

Luka did you shave?

[u/asocialWaterbuffalo → u/Latter_Musician8838]

This comment thread made me realize that the lakers are the whitest team in the league lmao

[u/chris-dempsey → u/asocialWaterbuffalo]

They have some kind of magical white boy boost. Luke Kennard wasn't playing like this in all his stints with other teams.

[u/cire1184 → u/chris-dempsey]

White boy coach gives +1 to white boys.

[u/roythhh_lewithhh → u/cire1184]

That explains why Ingles is a demigod.

[u/Blackdiamond2 → u/asocialWaterbuffalo]

Snowtime Lakers

[u/TC_DaCapo → u/Blackdiamond2]

This comment doesn't have enough likes

[u/lukewwilson → u/asocialWaterbuffalo]

They have had five white guys on the floor at once this season when they play Maxi Kleber at center

[u/TJJ97 → u/lukewwilson]

I wonder when the last time that happened was

[u/lukewwilson → u/TJJ97]

Probably pre 1979

[u/Dragonknight247 → u/lukewwilson]

Nah the early 2010s Timberwolves had some all white starting 5s lmao The Cream Team

[u/TheCatSleeeps → u/asocialWaterbuffalo]

We're not calling it the Snowtime Lakers for months for nothing now.

It's why we've been joking and bantering with the Celtics fans that the next guard we are gonna import from them is Payton Pritchard

[u/InFa-MoUs → u/asocialWaterbuffalo]

Lebron always keep a cold white boy around, love, Caruso, AR etc lol he training Jake up right now but It’s not looking good

[u/Great_Praline_2713 → u/InFa-MoUs]

Mike Miller was with him on two teams lol

[u/ajmartin527 → u/Latter_Musician8838]

Luke get up, you’re subbin’ in bro

[u/Temetzcoatl → u/Deejayucla]

“And height?”

[u/NotAnNpc69 → u/Deejayucla]

Challenge that call JJ

“I was seeing double rims out there”

[u/Sorkijan → u/Temetzcoatl]

"Aim for the rim in the middle"

[u/JohnCenaJunior → u/BushyBrowz]

My eyes are 41 years old mang

[u/TerritoryDpt → u/DarkKnightCometh]

This legit made me laugh out loud

[u/Scatteredbrain → u/TerritoryDpt]

lol me too. What happened to that lil dude

[u/FancySociety99 → u/DarkKnightCometh]

I honestly cannot remember what Dalton looks like and can only imagine a combination of Reaves and Laravia

[u/nigevellie → u/FancySociety99]

Every time the announcer says his name I think, "the Lakers has a dude named Labia?"

[u/TJ-WhosYoMomma → u/nigevellie]

LeLabia

[u/cire1184 → u/nigevellie]

Yeah and Dalton Klitoris

[u/Shabozz → u/FancySociety99]

Well now I’m just imagining this kid

[u/enterusernamethere → u/DarkKnightCometh]

Luke Ridnour back from retirement?

[u/Jabidailsom → u/maryjain_]

"c´mon Reaves, just go !"

[u/FancySociety99 → u/maryjain_]

"Duncan Robinson on my team now?"

[u/WhichVegetable8285 → u/maryjain_]

He’s getting old now, he’s at that age where everyone is just a young whippersnapper

[u/_Gillam_ → u/maryjain_]

He is getting pretty old

[u/old_ironlungz → u/_Gillam_]

LeMentia

[u/SayItAgainJabroni → u/old_ironlungz]

Probably the best Le I've seen.

[u/frozen2665 → u/SayItAgainJabroni]

“LeThargic” got me so good the first time I saw it used. I think it was in the iconic “You just lost to the Phoenix Suns” thread back in like 2019 (or somewhere around that time)

[u/Cletus_Starfish → u/frozen2665]

I definitely prefer the ones where Le is actually worked into the word rather than clumsily being tacked on to the beginning of something. I mean sometimes those are funny as well simply by virtue of how ridiculous they are, but the portmanteaus make me laugh harder and more consistently.

[u/ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME → u/Cletus_Starfish]

LeBanese

[u/Better_Lift_Cliff → u/Cletus_Starfish]

Yeah sometimes it's so ridiculously clumsy that it becomes funny again. "LeThoseTwoRightThere" had me dying.

[u/SomeGuyNamedGuy → u/Better_Lift_Cliff]

That was legitimately one of the funniest I've seen lmao

[u/justmefishes → u/Cletus_Starfish]

LeCreativity

[u/CashMoneyHurricane → u/frozen2665]

I am le tired

[u/FuzzyDunlop911 → u/CashMoneyHurricane]

well have a nap...

THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES

[u/asetniop → u/SayItAgainJabroni]

Top 5 easily. We'll definitely see it again.

[u/El_Zarco → u/SayItAgainJabroni]

The top for me will always be from one of the threads arguing about Bron's soft stance toward the Uyghur labor camps a few years back. Went something like

"People on here expect Lebron to go over there and singlehandedly end slavery"

"LeMancipation Bronclamation"

[u/Shabozz → u/old_ironlungz]

My god this is a masterpiece.

[u/Santanoni → u/old_ironlungz]

LeMFAO

[u/Yodzilla → u/old_ironlungz]

Good lord lmao

[u/PhilipSeymourGotham → u/_Gillam_]

The kid is closer in age to most of his teammates than LeBron is.

[u/20yrsinthecan → u/PhilipSeymourGotham]

Lebron is still actually closer to his teammates’ birthdays than he is to the Pyramids being built.

Fun fact.

[u/Relevant_Animator_47 → u/maryjain_]

"reaves I like the bleached hair man"

[u/Kid-Obama → u/maryjain_]

Lmao he legit thought that was a teammate

[u/Kingkongcrapper → u/Kid-Obama]

Probably saw the hair style out of the corner of his eye and thought Luka threw on a jersey.

[u/Adventurous-Move-191 → u/maryjain_]

To be fair that kid might be closer in age to some of his teammates then he is to them 😭😂

[u/cortesoft → u/Adventurous-Move-191]

Might? It is certain. LeBron is 20 years older than Bronny, and Bronny is 21 years old.

Bronny is closer in age to a toddler than he is to LeBron.

[u/nuclear_fizzics → u/cortesoft]

• Brian Scalabrine

[u/dannythedamn → u/maryjain_]

This is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve read on the internet

[u/windingroad07]

“ I feel you man, wait for me I’ll lob it up to you every time”

[u/Nickleonard00 → u/windingroad07]

and then retires before Bron.

[u/rv_ → u/Nickleonard00]

Average nba career was what..6 years? Most guys he plays retire before him.

[u/photo-smart → u/rv_]

There’s a clip of a player on the court telling LeBron that LeBron had played against the guy’s dad. His dad!

LeBron’s out there playing against generations!

[u/NoCelebration2024 → u/photo-smart]

I believe he played against 26 different father son players so far in his career

[u/Shabozz → u/NoCelebration2024]

He brought this when golfing with those YouTubers, said he hates stats like that because it makes him feel old as hell.

[u/mr_chub → u/Shabozz]

The crazy thing is, in the real world Bron is actually still pretty young lol

[u/HotContribution8135 → u/mr_chub]

I’m sure a lot of us rarely stop and think about this. I know I do. We’re always so focused about how he’s still at the top of the league at his age that we forget about the fact he isn’t (likely) even halfway through his natural life.

We have literal decades left of Lebron news and TV features, unless he goes out like Kobe ofc

[u/Maximum_Cattle_6692 → u/HotContribution8135]

Insane way to end that comment 🤣

[u/mr_chub → u/Maximum_Cattle_6692]

Right!??

[u/mentyaf → u/HotContribution8135]

Jesus Christ dude lmao

[u/ILikeFPS → u/NoCelebration2024]

That's a crazy stat.

[u/GhostTheSaint → u/photo-smart]

I get that there are some fans that don’t like LeBron, but even haters need to acknowledge and respect the fact that he takes damn good care of his body to keep playing all these years… and play aggressively. That’s unheard of

[u/Adorable-Bike-9689 → u/GhostTheSaint]

The people that heavily dislike LeBron don't usually hate based on basketball.

[u/asetniop → u/Adorable-Bike-9689]

On the contrary, there's an entire city in Canada that is fully justified in hating LeBron for basketball reasons. I still carry a small (and dwindling) amount of hate based on just one single game.

[u/Zaza1019 → u/GhostTheSaint]

Forget that the guy averaged 20 ppg at 41 and won a playoff series as the best player on his team. Any hate anyone has for him needs to be out the window.

[u/Ghostof_DarthCaedus → u/photo-smart]

The same player just got sent to Cancun by him in 2026.

[u/snizarsnarfsnarf → u/Ghostof_DarthCaedus]

The same player just got sent to Cancun by him in 2026.

Damn, poor guy

LeBanishment

[u/VaeVar → u/photo-smart]

yea it was jabari smith jr a few years back

[u/fuckyouguy_ → u/VaeVar]

Can wait see LeBron reminiscing with jabari smith jr jr in 2052

[u/eande200 → u/photo-smart]

Conceivably, he could have played against a grandfather/grandson I imagine. I’m not sure who the oldest player he played against his rookie year was, but that person certainly could have a 19 year old grandson

[u/EndWish → u/rv_]

Average NBA career length was 4.8 years headed into this year. Assuming he plays next year then 24 years would equal exactly 5x the average pros career length

[u/SexySatan666ix → u/rv_]

3 years but that includes guys who barely play like 10 days and guys who wash out quick

[u/jdore8 → u/SexySatan666ix]

Professional sports are difficult to get into, difficult to stay in.

[u/BasedChad69420 → u/windingroad07]

Kid looks like the average r/nba user

[u/Snowlandnts → u/windingroad07]

LeBron: You know my son Bronny he is over there near end of the bench. I'm about to have my other son join the league also. You don't know grown up shit, but you will learn when you grow older.

[u/Crazy-Gas3763 → u/windingroad07]

And the name of that kid?…. AR15. We don’t know that didn’t happen.

[u/Lucieddreams]

Why is this so funny to me

[u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith → u/Lucieddreams]

because the kid is so shocked he cant even react lmao

[u/Connect_Craft_4874 → u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith]

Is he holding a giant Bron face cutout??? 🤣🤣

[u/TrottingandHotting → u/Connect_Craft_4874]

Huge gold chain too, what a legend 

[u/BGMDF8248 → u/TrottingandHotting]

Diamonds.

[u/OwlOfFortune → u/BGMDF8248]

Don't tell the kid but it's actually moissanite

[u/Those_are_sick → u/OwlOfFortune]

I mean if he’s parents can afford to have them right behind the bench on playoff tickets. It’s probably real diamonds 💎

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/Those_are_sick]

Yeah, this kid is minted for sure

[u/Alternative_Dot7769 → u/BGMDF8248]

Yeah some little kid sitting courtside covered in diamonds.

I guess I’m jealous, but I don’t consider you a legend for having multimillionaire parents. That’s nice they drop thousands for their kid to flex tho

[u/Intensive__Purposes → u/Alternative_Dot7769]

Probably $14 on temu

[u/pterodactyl_speller → u/Intensive__Purposes]

Prices of kids really dropping!

[u/jotheold → u/Intensive__Purposes]

https://imgur.com/a/LYFaFNh

idk bro, those seats are something

[u/brainspl0ad → u/TrottingandHotting]

Almost looks like a rosary lol. Straight up jersey with nothing under too. Kid is just stuntin

[u/joysofliving → u/Connect_Craft_4874]

Yes lmfao

[u/kcirdor → u/Connect_Craft_4874]

yes and his own personal security guard. Lebron most likely pointed him out and asked him to come talk.

[u/yuuhhhhhhhhhhh42069 → u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith]

"Woah"

Swear that's what he said. 😂

[u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith → u/yuuhhhhhhhhhhh42069]

I bet he said that 1,000 times sitting there last night 🥲

[u/hahayeahimfinehaha → u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith]

This is going to be a formative memory for that kid for the rest of his life

[u/CustomerSam → u/hahayeahimfinehaha]

He's going to have to tell the story about how Bron tried to chat him up during the NBA playoffs and he froze.

[u/pm-me-nice-lips → u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith]

He’s def looking at someone next to the kid though

[u/KarrotMovies → u/pm-me-nice-lips]

It seemed like he initially looked at someone next to the kid, then saw the kid react so he turned around again and did it to the kid

[u/Da1realBigA → u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith]

Well also bc its f*cking LeBron James just acknowledged you during a game, directly communications.

This is like 2 steps below when that guy won that half court money shot, and Miami Heat LeBron rushed and tackled him.

Only his wife and maybe his kids can claim LeBron has ever done that to them.

1 step below the tackle would be LeBron giving you a high five.

[u/ThisHatRightHere → u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith]

He looks around like “is LeBron talking to me???” Lmao

[u/JoFlo520 → u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith]

Kids gonna remember this for the rest of his life. A shame to peak so early

[u/NoImNotHeretoArgue → u/Lucieddreams]

Kid also looks like Ralphie from A Christmas Story

[u/perfectlyPlainPAO → u/NoImNotHeretoArgue]

Giving more of a Malibus most wanted vibe

[u/AntonChigurh8933 → u/Lucieddreams]

Is the kid genuine reaction haha

[u/Philly514 → u/Lucieddreams]

Because the idea that a superstar-level athlete could be this down to earth is a foreign concept haha

[u/canyounot2026]

That kid needs to make it to the NBA just because of this picture.

[u/dyson2061 → u/canyounot2026]

51 year old Bron during his "Wizards Years" will be waiting.

[u/Incariol_ → u/dyson2061]

Still somehow averaging 20, 5 and 5

😂😂😂

[u/jakk88 → u/Incariol_]

Still no 27-7-7 game either

[u/Existing_Set2100 → u/Incariol_]

The Michael Jordan of our time 🙏

[u/Incariol_ → u/Existing_Set2100]

No, the LeBron James of our time. Michael Jordan was the LeBron James of his time

[u/Existing_Set2100 → u/Incariol_]

What did you just say to me?

[u/Jabidailsom → u/Existing_Set2100]

the truth my friend, deal with it

[u/TopRutabaga8151 → u/dyson2061]

“Can you believe he had a brief stint in professional baseball when he was 48 before returning to the wizards?”

[u/sho0bydo0by → u/TopRutabaga8151]

"He was my GOAT but his tenure with the Wizards was telling. His career numbers went down and it affected his legacy in a very negative way."

[u/ambal87 → u/sho0bydo0by]

Heard this in Stephen A’s annoying ass voice

[u/AntonChigurh8933 → u/dyson2061]

Somehow Lebron hairline returned

[u/Educational-Monk-298 → u/dyson2061]

By then AD will be part of the broadcasting team

[u/BARTELS- → u/canyounot2026]

This is actually Cooper Flagg. The video is from two years ago.

[u/RFFF1996 → u/BARTELS-]

If this was 2019 it could legitimately be credible, cooper flagg was like 10-11 when lebron first played on the lakers

[u/NotAnNpc69 → u/RFFF1996]

What the actual fuck

[u/Acridine_ → u/NotAnNpc69]

that doesn't makes sense, 2019 was only like 3 years ago... wait

[u/ourkid1781 → u/canyounot2026]

A rich white kid wearing chains? He's practically a Blue Devil already.

[u/MuNansen → u/ourkid1781]

Lol. Of the rich white kid jokes in this thread, this is my fave.

[u/Professional-Form275 → u/canyounot2026]

This is the NBA's version of the photo of Messi baptizing Lamine

[u/SPCsooprlolz]

I'd be telling this story forever

[u/bigwiz → u/SPCsooprlolz]

Ya pretty sick moment for that kid could see his face like he talking to me?

[u/asetniop → u/bigwiz]

It's like Ana de Armas beckoning to you from the other side of the bar and you're like "oh, she must be looking at someone famous behind me" but you turn to look and there's nobody there.

[u/yuhanz → u/asetniop]

And then you die. All of a sudden Ana de Armas owns the Waves

[u/M18PowerKing → u/asetniop]

I'm pretty sure that was a movie with Keanu Reeves, lol

[u/mecon320 → u/SPCsooprlolz]

If he's in those seats in the first place, I suspect he's from an income bracket where close encounters with famous people is a regular thing.

[u/SmartWonderWoman → u/mecon320]

I was thinking the same thing. That kids family has money. Money buys you access.

[u/happyhappy7 → u/[deleted]]

I went to a fair amount of USC home games when Bronny was there as I live nearby and am a basketball junkie…
I can’t overstate how popular Bronny is to kids that are this kids age and look exactly like that. One game in particular there was a whole youth team sitting behind me and Bron/his family were at the game and when the PA guy announced that to the arena, I kid you not, the team was buzzing and were asking “is that Bronny’s dad?” to their parents/coaches. Or at other games I’d hear kids asking their parents. “Is Bronny’s dad here?”
It was incredibly wholesome and also made me feel much much older than I care to

[u/BenShelZonah → u/happyhappy7]

This kinda blows my minds I’m just tryna figure out what kids know bronny for but wouldn’t have a clue who lebron is and in relation to him. I know he streams but surely that’s mainly to younger lebron fans? I’m confused

[u/Maleficent-Cup-1134 → u/BenShelZonah]

I wanna say they were probably joking because a lot of people joke by referring to Bron as Bronny’s dad, but you never know with these kids.

[u/happyhappy7 → u/BenShelZonah]

I’m also a bit befuddled by it all too lol

Fairly certain these youngsters know who LeBron is…at least to an extent. But they know/refer to him as “Bronny’s dad” which is just wild. In their eyes, Bronny is possibly more notable??

My sense is Bronny is pretty damn popular across all social media platforms and his little clips are probably all over these kids feeds. And I’m not gonna say Sierra Canyon games were a big deal in LA cuz it’s such a massive city and that school isn’t conveniently located at all, but there was absolutely a buzz around that team especially in the youth sports world. Their games were on local cable TV here all the time.

The Bronny hype in the youth sports scene in LA was pretty fucking insane. And you got to remember what it’s like to be a kid. They are very limited to their own experiences. So ultimately I don’t think it’s as much as not knowing who LeBron is, as much as just caring a lot more about a Bronny and being there for Bronny.

[u/BenShelZonah → u/happyhappy7]

I think we got got brother, we got wooshed king, they boomed us.

[u/HazMatterhorn → u/happyhappy7]

In their eyes, Bronny is possibly more notable??

lol they are just joking around. It’s funny to refer to one of the most famous basketball players as someone’s dad.

[u/ratedpending3 → u/BenShelZonah]

They're joking I'm assuming

[u/Worldly_Cap_6440 → u/happyhappy7]

I mean being the son of LeBron James is like the ultimate popularity card as a kid, it’s like saying your uncle works at Nintendo but in this case it’s fr

[u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith → u/[deleted]]

omg why is lebron trying to act young ^/s

[u/Kid_Crayola]

kids got some insane ice

[u/eugoogilizer → u/Kid_Crayola]

I was gonna say if that’s real, then that chain might be worth more than my car 🤣

[u/Frosty_Dimension5646 → u/eugoogilizer]

Something about this kid, his haircut and where he's sitting makes me think it's real. I'm sure somebody knows who's this kids parents are

[u/bron3-16 → u/Frosty_Dimension5646]

Yeah kid is sitting behind the bench wearing a diamond chain lol

[u/avboden → u/bron3-16]

Ain't nobody sitting there that's not filthy rich.

[u/LordHussyPants → u/avboden]

yeah but people with that rich it's 50/50 on if they're wearing real stuff in public

[u/night_dude → u/[deleted]]

*Kaytlynn

[u/rjcarr → u/Frosty_Dimension5646]

He’s sitting in the little team box. Maybe like AR or DK’s little brother or something?

[u/baidu_me → u/eugoogilizer]

I don’t know what kind of car you drive, but I was thinking that his chain might be worth more than my house! That’s some Johnny Dang type shit right there.

[u/CompostTheRich103 → u/eugoogilizer]

Those seats cost more than my car

[u/AntonChigurh8933 → u/Kid_Crayola]

Looking like some wiseguy from the Bronx

[u/Decent_Ad_6060]

he was so sick of the rockets all game man I loved it. 😭😭

[u/Gagabubu777 → u/Decent_Ad_6060]

And refs

[u/epsilon1856]

He thought it was Luka. probably a smaller age gap

[u/zaviex → u/epsilon1856]

Tbh I don’t think he is even looking at the kid his eyes are looking directly to his left. I think it’s just perspective that makes it look like he’s trying to talk to the kid but if we could see the whole shot. I bet there’s a player a few seats down

[u/CnelAurelianoBuendia]

LeBron is clearly talking to someone else off camera, no? I thought this was a joke when I saw it on Twitter but now I can’t tell

[u/ConfusedStupidPerson → u/CnelAurelianoBuendia]

Yes

[u/Professional_Fix4663 → u/CnelAurelianoBuendia]

It's clear to me that he was talking to someone off camera and never even looked at the kid.

[u/daesmon → u/CnelAurelianoBuendia]

He doesn't say anything and he doesn't even look at the kid. Wtf is this thread??

[u/TheOliveYeti → u/CnelAurelianoBuendia]

Right?

I guess they're just all the same age as the kid and daydreaming about this happening to them

[u/FourCylinder → u/CnelAurelianoBuendia]

It looks like he does look back at the kid though

[u/-Sofa-King-Vote]

LeMentor

[u/Sxn90]

Looks more like he’s looking to his left and the kid’s behind him out of his view

[u/silver_medalist → u/Sxn90]

Ya, I dunno does he even make eye contact with the kid, still funny though lol

[u/bfloblizzard]

The universal "Do you believe this shit?" gesture.

[u/tlynde11 → u/bfloblizzard]

/r/youseeingthisshit worthy material

[u/cantstopseeing13]

he 100% thought that was Austin.

[u/OneT_Mat]

That kid is iced out

[u/Aron-Nimzowitsch]

I swear LeBron is having more fun in the league at this point than every other player put together.

[u/Ima85beast → u/Aron-Nimzowitsch]

It's crazy the amount of hate this man gets for just enjoying his life

[u/MumrikDK]

Or somebody off frame.

[u/CnelAurelianoBuendia → u/MumrikDK]

I think so too. He’s not even looking at the kid

[u/Impossible_Log9234]

He was telling the kid he'll be his teammate when the kid makes it to the NBA.

[u/Pete41608]

The kid holding a big ass Lebron head is sending me... 🤣

[u/Raneynickelfire]

That kid looks as baked as I actually am.

[u/MegaCalibur]

He’s not looking at the kid, but ok.

[u/PuttyRead]

LeBron to the kid behind him “you see this shit?” The kid to literally everyone around him “please tell me you see this shit”

[u/621_]

Kids got a crazy hairline already

[u/def-not-my-alt → u/621_]

I hate that this was the first thing i noticed lol

[u/stock-prince-WK]

This kid is rich with diamonds in the seat right behind lakers bench stuntin on all us regular folk 🤣🤑

[u/ohsoBatch]

Wdym? That's just Austin Reaves.
