Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James had a Shaqtin' A Fool moment against the New Orleans Pelicans last Sunday when he forgot to inbound the ball and big man Anthony Davis knows why it happened.

According to Davis, LeBron is a robot who just had a malfunction on that play versus the Pelicans:

Friday is going to be a fun night at Staples Center as LeBron, Davis and the Lakers host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

Giannis and the Bucks defeated the Lakers earlier in the season in Milwaukee. Now, The King and The Brow are looking for some revenge against The Greek Freak.

The Bucks have the best record in the NBA, while the Lakers are No. 1 in the Western Conference. Friday could be an NBA Finals preview.

For the Lakers, LeBron is averaging 25.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.7 assists on the season. The four-time MVP and three-time champion is shooting 49.7 percent from the field, 35.1 percent from beyond the arc and 69.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Giannis, meanwhile, could very well win his second straight MVP award since the Bucks are once again cruising through the regular season. The four-time All-Star is putting up 29.6 points, 13.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game for Milwaukee. He’s shooting 54.8 percent overall, 30.9 percent from the 3-point line and 62.9 percent from the charity stripe.

A game featuring LeBron, AD and Giannis is must-see television. It should be an exciting atmosphere in Los Angeles on Friday.
