The Los Angeles Lakers are off to a solid start this season, clinching a 123-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, which boosted their record to 6-4. Lakers icon LeBron James stole the show with a masterful triple-double performance, racking up 19 points, 16 assists, and 10 rebounds. But it wasn’t just his stats lighting up social media—James’ hilarious, and slightly aggressive, on-court antic targeting Raptors player Ochai Agbaji has fans buzzing online.
In a now-viral clip shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), James is seen securing possession of a loose ball before turning and tossing it right into Agbaji’s head. The incident sparked immediate reactions across social media. While some fans saw the moment as a lighthearted accident, others were quick to speculate about James’ intent, with one fan jokingly calling it “diabolical.”
Reactions to the moment flooded in, with one fan commenting, “Tried to send him to the shadow realm,” and another humorously suggesting it was no accident. The video has quickly amassed views, putting a new spin on James’ renowned intensity on the court.
Meanwhile, the Lakers face an unexpected setback with the temporary loss of big man Anthony Davis. Davis exited the game after Raptors center Jakob Poeltl accidentally hit him in the eye during a block attempt. This unfortunate injury leaves Lakers fans anxious, as Davis has been a key force alongside James in propelling the team’s early success.
LeBron’s recent performances prove that he’s as dominant as ever at 39, averaging 23.5 points, 8.3 assists, and 7.5 rebounds across 10 games this season. Despite his age, he’s been unrelenting, recently declaring his commitment to play every game this season. His energy and dedication remain as strong as his on-court presence.
For Lakers fans, Sunday’s game was a showcase of both humor and high-level play from their superstar, even as they hold their breath awaiting updates on Davis’ recovery.
