On Halloween, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is thinking about something fans have dreamt about for years: How scary would it have been if James and Lakers legend Kobe Bryant played together in Los Angeles?

LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are two of the greatest players in NBA history, and now James is playing for the franchise Bryant called home for 20 years.

Naturally, LeBron was in his feelings Wednesday and took to Instagram to tease Laker Nation:

If LeBron James and Kobe Bryant had joined forces while Kobe was in his prime, there's no telling how many championships the Lakers would have won. Unfortunately, this is something we can only see in NBA 2K now, but it's fun to think about how dominant Los Angeles would have been with The King and Black Mamba as teammates.

The LeBron James era with the Lakers is off to a slow start. Los Angeles is 2-5 on the season and enter Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on a two-game losing streak.

Through seven games, LeBron James is averaging 27.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.1 assists while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor. The four-time MVP, however, is only shooting 24.4 percent from beyond the arc and 79.6 percent from the free-throw line.
