Are you good? Can you pick your jaw off the floor now? The insane play-in tournament duel between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors was an instant classic, with the ending straight out of a typical sports movie. In the end, LeBron James donned his Superman cape once again and saved the Lakers, poked eye and all.
The game was so fun and intense, even other current and former NBA stars couldn't help but share their reactions on social media.
Despite the Warriors losing, Portland Trail Blazers star tipped his hat to Draymond Green for putting on a defensive clinic almost the entire game, making life miserable for Lakers star Anthony Davis. Lillard only needed two letters to describe Green.
Draymond is a mf

Lillard's running mate CJ McCollum, meanwhile, truly enjoyed the competitive contest, which didn't get decided until literally the last two possessions.
Very good game. NBA won tonight.

He, however, also poked fun at LeBron's comment after the game that he saw three rims during his game-winning three-pointer after getting poked in the eye a few plays before.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogan Bogdanovic was also hyped after the Lakers' nail-biting escape over the Warriors.

San Antonio Spurs legend Manu Ginobili, who's had his fair share of down-to-the-wire finishes during his stellar NBA career, got his mind blown by the tight contest and praised for LeBron for his big, impossible shot.
What a game! Lebron's shot 🤯. Fun to watch the whole thing. 👏

Metta World Peace, who also had his own iconic three-pointer for the Lakers in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals, likewise tipped his hat to LeBron James. He also wished good luck to former Lakers in Julius Randle of the New York Knicks and Jordan Clarkson of the Utah Jazz.
