LeBron James is one of the greatest players ever to play the game of basketball. His athleticism and passion for winning every game he plays are out of this world. Speaking of athleticism, fans couldn’t forget about one moment that happened in the game between the LA Lakers and the LA Clippers.Â
During the match, LeBron attempted to score a point by aiming but collided with an opponent player and fell. However, when he fell, he quickly got up with a backward somersault, showcasing his amazing athleticism on the court. Even though he fell, the ball still went in, and he scored a point for his team.Â
To general fans, it seemed normal; however, wrestling fans quickly noticed it bore a resemblance to WWE. Lebron’s backward somersault was incredibly similar to how The Rock used to sell the Stunner by Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was so hilarious and made Stone Cold laugh once after he hit that stunner many years ago on Raw.Â
This game was an absolute nail-biter, as the Lakers completed a 19+ point comeback in the 4th quarter. The 4-time NBA Championship Ring winner was the man of the match, scoring 34 points with 6 rebounds and 8 assists. The last time they completed a 19+ point comeback entering the 4th quarter was in 2003.Â
This season is going pretty average for the Lakers, as they are sitting in the 9th position in the Western Conference. They have won 32 games and lost 28 games so far in the season. However, anything can happen in this long season, and with LeBron in form, it will be interesting to see whether they can finish the season on top or not.Â
NBA Lakers player LeBron James showed his brilliant athleticism and flexibility when he was pushed by the opponent. The wrestling fans noticed that the backward somersault was striking a resemblance to one move, and that is Stone Cold’s stunner to The Rock.Â
LeBron James (via USA Today) One fan said that it was the highest level of selling, similar to the match between Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan. HBK was selling every move Hogan hit on him overdramatically. Other fans made a unique comment and described it as ‘LeStunner’. Here are some of the top reactions from fans:Â
That guy is better for wrestling, should try in WWE.

Some fans were impressed by LeBron’s athleticism and said he should try it out in the WWE. Another fan predicted a future for The Rock by saying it was a WrestleMania 40 teaser. However, there weren’t all good comments for him, as many fans criticized him for the over-the-top reaction. They called him a ‘drama queen’ and said he should be fined for this overdramatic reaction.Â
