The league has seen some untouchable players this season ranging from players who have elevated their game to players who continue to silence their critics. And a few of them were mentioned by the league’s all-time leading scorer with 40,000 points, LeBron James himself.
After their loss against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, which marks their 8 consecutive loss from 2022 against them, James had a few praises for Nikola Jokic after a stellar performance against the Los Angeles Lakers.
On the same night that James reached another milestone, it wasn’t their night according to score board. And while staying there is no way to stop the Serbian, James named a few others who can’t be stopped this season. Talking in the post-game presser, James, on players who he believes the league has no answer for, said:
Joel, Joker, Luka, Giannis, Steph, KD. That’s just to name a few.
Big names were mentioned, but a certain individual by the name of Jayson Tatum, who is having a season of his own, wasn’t mentioned; and fans were quick to pick that out. And with that, memes and tweets have stormed the internet under the James’ quote clip.
