Even on a night when the Lakers suffered an embarrassing defeat, LeBron James seized the occasion with his towering personality. Will that count as a criterion in the GOAT debate? Well, the superstar doesn’t seem bothered about the outside noise, as the MJ-Bron debate again flared up post Scottie Pippen’s controversial remark. Tonight, Tyrese Maxey revealed his pick on the debate after the superstar’s two selfless acts.
Before we dive into the Maxey situation, let’s take a look at Bron’s wholesome gesture toward the Philadelphia Eagles players. Even before the tip-off, the superstar briefly linked up with the team’s wide receivers AJ Brown and Devonta Smith apart from a quick acknowledgment to cornerback Darius Slay, who were all standing on the courtside, witnessing his pre-game routine.
Following the game, unfazed by the loss, LeBron James once again linked up with the players before heading to the parking lot. This time it wasn’t a brief link up and also it wasn’t just those two players. He patiently clicked pictures with the NFC Champs and wished them luck for Sunday’s Super Bowl Challenge against the Kansas City Chiefs. Amid this friendly get-together, Bron dropped a crucial warning. It’s more like a tip for the upcoming game. The superstar before moving on from the spot, looked at the players and said, “No turnovers“
A few of the Eagles stuck around after the Sixers game to catch up with LeBron James. The main connection was Eagles wide receiver, Parris Campbell who went to high school at St. Vincent-St. Mary, LeBron’s alma mater.

Turnovers aren’t an issue only with the NBA but with the NFL as well. Before these Eagles players are about to face the time of their lives, Bron really wanted to put something on their heads. Notably, it’s coming from a man who faced 10 showdowns himself in his NBA career. Moreover, before this link-up, Bron had already delivered another wholesome gesture. This time to the Philadelphia 76ers star Tyres Maxey, who single-handedly defeated the Lakers last night.
LeBron James leaves Tyrese Maxey star-struck
Last night, Tyrese Maxey was on a mission. The 5th year guard, who is amidst a break-out season, single-handedly destroyed the Lakers with a dominant 43-point outing. On the other end, LeBron James was his fierce competitor who in response dropped 31 points and 9 assists. While the duo battled it out on the court, after the final buzzer, Maxey instantly turned into a fan.
Maxey finally received what he longed for since his debut. A LeBron James game jersey and it was finally fulfilled. A reporter, spotting the jersey in his locker, asked the guard how much Bron meant to him at the post-game presser. Maxey, speaking of the jersey, said, “I told him after the game I said, ‘Look, man, I waited five years to ask for a jersey. I know I’ve known you for a while but I think I’m gonna get it this year.”
