LeBron’s Reflections
LeBron James expressed his excitement and disbelief at the surreal experience of playing alongside his son. He shared on social media, “Wow, that was surreal. We came out of a timeout and we kind of stood next to each other. I kind of looked at him. It was like being in The Matrix or something. It just didn’t feel real. But it was great to have those moments together.”
