1. It's been a rough season for LeBron James and the Lakers, but even during a 108-90 blowout against the Warriors on Thursday night, the King managed to entertain the masses from the bench.

Wearing a Nipsey Hussle shirt, James was left in complete disbelief after teammate Alex Caruso went airborne for a put-back dunk. TNT's Kevin Harlan also lost his mind on the call, making for one of the better highlight videos of the 2018-19 season. Watch:

LeBron looked like he was going to faint. Just a tremendous reaction. James also whipped Twitter into a frenzy during the game when he had a super-secret conversation with free-agent-to-be Kevin Durant.
