Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James couldn't help but be impressed with Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton.
On Wednesday against the L.A. Clippers, Sexton made his presence felt early with his activity on both ends of the floor. Midway through the second quarter after a Lauri Markkanen steal, Young Bull didn't hesitate in attacking the rim and threw the ball with force–posterizing Nicolas Batum in the process.

LeBron James, who was tuned in to the match after a frustrating performance from his Lakers, took to Twitter to share his amazement with the dunk. Making things even better? The Cavs youngster did it with his left hand–something that King James absolutely noticed.
My goodness Young Bull! 😤😤😤. With the left too

The Cavs are surprisingly playing better than fans and experts initially expected, so it's no wonder why several people are hyped about them. Clearly, their very own hometown hero in LeBron is one of those people.
While LeBron is enjoying some downtime as he recovers from a right ankle injury, it might also be best if he can give his fellow Lakers some encouragement. The Purple and Gold have been struggling, with their latest defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder a big example of the current issues they are facing.
The Lakers fell to 2-3 on the season, and they are yet to truly bag a convincing victory to live up to the preseason expectations on them. Of course, it's still too early, but LeBron and Co. certainly need to do something fast.
