The 2022 NBA All-Star Game Draft took place on Thursday evening and it was not short of intriguing storylines, particularly considering how we are just a few hours removed from the frenzy that was the trade deadline. One that stood out the most, however, was Kevin Durant utterly rejecting James Harden at the end of the draft. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, who was on the opposing side of the draft, could not hide his unfiltered reaction to KD's conspicuous decision.

Here's a look at the Brooklyn Nets talisman trying his best to justify picking Rudy Gobert over Harden. LeBron tried to hide his face behind his clipboard, but it did nothing to hide just how much fun he was having out of the circumstance (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter):

As always, KD kept a straight face as he explained why he was picking Gobert over Harden. This was despite the fact that LeBron and the rest of the TNT crew were laughing in the background. It's no coincidence that Durant flat-out refused to add Harden to his team just hours after the now-former Nets star successfully forced his way out of Brooklyn. Is there a bit of bad blood there?

All we can say is that LeBron was having a laugh out of this. The Lakers star could use a break considering how his team has been sinking in a deep, deep hole of late.
