Houston Rockets Forward Jabari Smith Tells LeBron James He Played Against His Dad
In this story:
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is a timeless classic.
He is in the middle of his 20th season, chasing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record and it seems he's played forever.
On Monday, Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith during pregame of their game against each other. Smith made James feel old by sharing an amazing NBA moment.
"Hey, you played against my dad your first NBA game ever," Smith said, the No. 3 pick in the 2022 draft.
James responded, "Really?"
Smith: "Sacramento."
James: "Why you do that to me?"
Smith: "You feel old don't you."
James, who played for the Miami Heat from 2010-14, did indeed play against Jabari Smith Sr., in the first game of his NBA career against the Sacramento Kings in 2003. The longevity is just another part of James' greatness that has him in discussion as the league's greatest player.
The best part is James, even at 38, has shown no signs of slowing down. So we get to witness his greatness for at least a few more years.
