However, when LeBron James joined the Los Angeles Lakers as a 34-year-old, many claimed James only joined the team to become a Hollywood star.

While the four-time NBA MVP didn’t respond to the criticism at that time, he clapped back at those comments recently via Legion Hoops on Twitter.

“But I just came here to make movies though! Ain’t that what y’all said right!?!?,” James posted.

The tweet featured a screenshot of LeBron James’ Instagram story, which had an image of James’ stat line against the Portland Trail Blazers in their most recent matchup.

James put up 35 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists against the Trail Blazers.

It featured James shooting an incredible 5-of-9 from the three-point line.

Another key milestone for James during the game was scoring was his 108th 30-point game of his career as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

As for the Lakers in the 2023-24 NBA season, the team now has a 7-6 record as they hold the seventh seed in the Western Conference.

While the Lakers haven’t been at their best during the regular season when it comes to the NBA In-Season Tournament, the Purple and Gold have a 3-0 record in the group stage.

It seems like LeBron James was serious about winning the $500K prize money for the tournament, after all.

The Lakers have won four out of the last five games in the regular season.

It’s a good start to putting together a long winning streak as the season progresses.
