The Los Angeles Lakers were in an understandably jovial mood on Thursday, following their huge win over the Portland Trail Blazers. LA superstar Anthony Davis was joking around during his post-game interview and decided to take a shot at teammate LeBron James. Naturally, it prompted a hilarious NSFW reaction from LeBron.
Davis joked about James' age, and LeBron's reaction was simply epic:
Lakers’ Anthony Davis on LeBron James: “He’s seen it all in the 25 years he’s been playing.”

For the record, LeBron is just in Season 17 (not 25!), but in all honesty, you could barely tell. James actually had a lackluster performance on Thursday, finishing with just 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting, with six rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and six turnovers in 27 minutes of play.
It didn't matter much, though, with Davis carrying his team to an easy victory over the Blazers. Davis logged a game-high 31 points on 13-of-21 shooting, to go along with 11 rebounds, three assists, a steal, and one block. The 6-foot-10 big man also sank three out of his four attempts from deep.
This was a huge win for the Lakers, who are coming off a Game 1 upset. They have now tied the series at 1-1, and the fact that they blew out Portland in this one, 111-88, should be able to hush the haters a bit.
Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday, in what should be an interesting battle between these two sides. Another convincing win for the Lakers in that one will certainly give them the advantage in this series and should re-establish their status as the heavy favorites to come out of this first-round series.
