LeBron James got in on the Austin Reaves meme fun on Wednesday night.
James’ Los Angeles Lakers beat the Brooklyn Nets 106-96 on Tuesday night, with James scoring 33 points. He had a funny moment late in the game with teammates Austin Reaves that went viral.
James was pointing around the court trying to communicate a message to Reaves, who just appeared lost. The facial expressions from Reaves were great (video here).
James got in on the joke a day later. He posted a photo to Instagram of the moment from the game and added in a caption.
“Don’t do anything I would do. And definitely don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. There’s a lil gray area in there and that’s where you operate,” James wrote.
That definitely wasn’t what James actually told Reaves during the game that got his teammate cross-eyed, but that is pretty funny. James probably told Reaves that basketball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.
