For one glorious evening of basketball, LeBron James shut up all of his haters. He quieted all of the Los Angeles Lakers' critics and reminded us all, for at least one night, that he can still be the best player on planet earth when he wants to be.
The rest of the NBA world took notice, too. The Lakers star's otherworldly performance had his peers buzzing.
Utah Jazz All-Star Donovan Mitchell was all of us on repeat watching LeBron James tonight.
