Even in the longest off-the-court spell of his playing career, LeBron James is entertaining. The 36-year-old was up to some hilarious antics before the start of the game against the Washington Wizards.
In a video that gained traction on social media, we see LeBron James walking around the court before the start of play. Someone from the limited seating in the Capital One Arena shouted, “Hey LeBron, you’re a big baby”. Bron had a brilliant response to this. All of a sudden, he started crying like a baby, which elicited laughs from everyone around.
It was one of those moments which nobody would have believed if they did not catch it on camera.
Bron hilarious 😂

LeBron’s absence from the Lakers line-up has caused quite a lot of problems for the team. Ever since he has been sidelined, coach Vogel and the side has seen a steady dip in form. After the return of Anthony Davis, critics and analysts were of the opinion that the decline would cease. However, that has not been the case as the Lakers lack leadership out on the court.
Even in this game against the Wizards, the Lakers were no match for the brilliance of Westbrook and Beal. The defensive frailties on display were not rectified and as a result, the Lakers slumped to yet another defeat in their pursuit for the playoffs.

For the Lakers, Anthony Davis was the top scorer with 26 points to his name. Moreover, he also racked up two assists and five rebounds during his time on the court. On the other hand, Bradley Beal scored 27 points over the course of this match in order to guide his team towards the victory.
The Los Angeles Lakers are fifth in the Western Conference standings. At the moment, they are well on course to book their spot in the playoffs. However, the return of LeBron James to their roster would aid in steering their ship out of dire straits.
