Los Angeles Lakers second-year guard Talen Horton-Tucker has impressed in a big way this preseason. In fact, THT has been so good that even superstar forward LeBron James has praised the up-and-comer in recent days.
Of course, the Internet remains undefeated as fans quickly managed to dig up a tweet from 2015, one in which Horton-Tucker appears to take a jab at King James.

For more context, at the time, then-Los Angeles Clippers head coach and president Doc Rivers traded for his son Austin Rivers.
On the other hand, LeBron James played alongside former NBA guard Delonte West with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which would ultimately lead to one of the stranger storylines in league history. West was once rumored to have had an affair with Gloria James, LeBron's mother–a rumor that has still yet to truly fade away. Any time that someone has the chance to bring this story up about the Lakers star, it seems as though there is more than enough fodder on Twitter to help the cause–Talen Horton-Tucker's previous tweet from 2015 included.
It remains to be seen as to how this development unfolds in Los Angeles, as social media should have a pretty fun time with this dated post from the 20-year-old Lakers sophomore, who was just 15 at the time of the tweet.
