Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was tuned in on Tuesday's Game 5 fiery spectacle between the Phoenix Suns and the Dallas Mavericks. The game ended up being a blowout with the Suns taking down the Mavs, 110-80, and apparently, one of the most exciting moments from the game for LeBron didn't even happen on the basketball court.
The Lakers star could not help but react after seeing Charles Barkley contentiously defeat Kenny Smith as the pair raced to the video board during the NBA on TNT broadcast. It is clear who LeBron believes won this race:
YES!!! CHUCK WON 🥇

In case you missed it, here's the race in question. Did the Lakers superstar pick the right winner here?

Looks like a photo finish to me. However, even Shaq seems to believe that it was Barkley who took the gold in this two-man race.
The race to the video board has become a bit of a tradition among the four animated hosts of the NBA on TNT broadcast. Barkley isn't exactly the fittest individual among them so it's definitely a noteworthy occasion whenever he wins a race. Lakers star LeBron James definitely seems to think so. Clearly, The King is on Team Chuck on this one.
