Years after hilariously picking up and donning the lenses that had popped out of Wendell Carter Jr.'s glasses mid-game, LeBron James has finally shed a bit of light on his meme-spawning decision.

The Los Angeles Lakers recently shared a video of James reacting to some of his most infamous memes and the glasses moment did, in fact, make the cut.

At first, the newly 40-year-old simply says "Heisenberg," seemingly drawing a parallel between the resulting look and Breaking Bad's Walter White. Later asked explicitly why he did it, he explains the whole thing away as "I'm just a silly guy at times. I have no idea."

"Wendell Carter Jr. .... Sorry," he concludes, with a laugh.

We'll see whether James is in another silly, goofy mood on Tuesday, when the Lakers take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at 9 p.m. ET.
