After a 51-point explosion from LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, Josh Hart believes that his teammate is a lab creation.
Per Twitter, Hart tweeted right after their 97-113 win over the Miami Heat:
Created in a lab

James' 51 points is his season high. In his return to Miami, he started off red hot from the field, as he scored as many as 28 points in the first half. His final three points came in at the Lakers' last possession as he heaved a 33-footer.
He shot 19-of-31 from the field, 6-of-8 from downtown, and 7-of-10 from the free throw line. He also added eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals. This is the 12th 50-point outing for the four-time MVP.
Hart, for his part, had a relatively quiet night. He finished the game with just five points on 2-of-7 from the field and 1-of-4 from downtown. Hart is considered as one of the Lakers' young bright stars. He was crowned 2018 Summer League MVP and is looking to replicate his success in the regular season.
The win puts the Lakers record at 9-7 for seventh place in the Western Conference. Slowly and surely, the purple and gold — who entered the season with high-expectations — are developing their chemistry and racking up the victories.
It's still a matter of wait-and-see if the Lakers will succeed in their quest to qualify for the playoffs. But early in the season, their chances are looking good.
