At 35 years old, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is still at the top of the league. On the other hand, 19-year-old basketball phenom and 2019 No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson may very well be the next big thing in the NBA.
After their two teams faced off on Sunday, the two shared a moment postgame and embraced mid-court.

Interestingly, this moment comes after Williamson and James admitted they were yet to actually meet each other off the court, meaning they do not have a close relationship unlike what Ja Morant has with LeBron.
Sunday was actually the second time in the past week that the two matched up with each other on the court, with James' Lakers taking the victory in both meetings.
Both LeBron James and Zion Williamson showed out on Sunday, as the touted rookie scored a career-high 35 points on 12-16 shooting while adding seven rebounds. The performance was Williamson's third 30-point game in his short 15-game career for the New Orleans Pelicans.
As for James, the four-time MVP notched his 13th triple-double of the season for the Lakers with 34 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds.
