On Thursday, Carmelo Anthony of the Portland Trail Blazers posted a hilarious photo of himself in a seemingly distressed state. Melo was clearly unhappy with how much smoke the Detroit Pistons' fog machine was producing and he made sure to make his true feelings known about it. As it turns out, it gave Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James quite a good laugh.

LeBron could not help but comment on his good buddy's post on Twitter:

All ‘Bron needed were a bunch of emojis to express his delight in Melo's predicament. I can almost imagine James literally laughing out loud as he saw Anthony's tweet. Kudos to the photographer who captured Melo in what looked like a really irritable state. After all, who wouldn't get flustered after being in the middle of what looks like a full-blown campfire.

LeBron appears to be enjoying his current time on the sidelines as it has given him an opportunity to catch up on the going-on in social media. Naturally, trolling his buddies on Twitter is just part of the process.

Kidding aside, though, we're pretty sure LeBron James is itching to get back to the court. Last week, he was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and was given a four-to-six-week timetable, which means that he's going to be on the shelf for quite some time. The Lakers have been decimated by injuries of late, and they have struggled to keep a firm grip at the upper half of the table out West. Needless to say, the defending champs would love to get LeBron (and Anthony Davis) back sooner rather than later.
