Like the rest of the NBA world, LeBron James intently watched the NBA Draft unfold on Thursday evening. He wanted to see the up-and-coming stars of the league and he probably reminisced about being in the same position as them 18 years ago.
For perspective, when LeBron was selected no. 1 overall in the historic 2003 NBA Draft, Golden State Warriors' no. 7 overall pick this year Jonathan Kuminga was only a few months old.
But The King is still at it, and on Thursday night, he reminded everyone, especially the greenhorns, why he's still at the top of his game. He posted on his Instagram Videos a clip of his view while watching the NBA Draft. He said, “Not a bad seat to watch the next generation's dreams come true!” But of course, the most noticeable part: The four NBA championship trophies displayed on a marble mantle under his TV.
OK, LeBron. We see you.
As they say, if you have it, flaunt it. And LeBron definitely flexed his four titles. It's unclear if they've been there for the longest time or he just grabbed them from his trophy case and placed them there for the NBA Draft.
What's certain though is that LBJ and the Lakers are looking like legit contenders again after acquiring Russell Westbrook from the Washington Wizards. The former MVP is still looking for his first ring, so seeing LeBron James' post might get him pumped up. Not that he needs it.
The Lakers only had one player selected in the NBA Draft in Isaiah Jackson, but he was immediately traded as part of the Westbrook deal.
