Lakers forward LeBron James, along with Stephen Curry (Warriors) and Steve Nash, discussed Shohei Ohtani and his performance during the 2015 MLB Playoffs on the ‘Mind The Game’ podcast. The Japanese star cemented his legacy by delivering one of the best-if not the best-individual performances in Major League Baseball (MLB) history while wearing the Dodgers uniform.
Thanks to Ohtani’s exceptional level of play throughout the entire MLB season, the Dodgers were crowned MLB champions for the second consecutive year. The final went down to the wire, a Game 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays, who, despite their best efforts, couldn’t contain the individual brilliance of players like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Miguel Rojas, Will Smith, Freddie Freeman, and Ohtani himself.
LeBron James reminisces about Dodgers-Brewers game, with Ohtani Strikeouts 10 and 3 HR’s
On Tuesday night, the Lakers secured their third straight win with a dominant home victory over the Utah Jazz. This game marked the season debut for Lakers star LeBron James, who returned from injury to score in the win. The Lakers are hoping to join their crosstown rivals, the Dodgers, as champions, and James recently spoke about his awe at Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani during the Dodgers’ victory over the Brewers.
The same guy did that. He did both things
“If I texted you guys saying that a guy struck out 10 batters in an NLCS, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that was an incredible game for that pitcher. Wow.'” And if I sent a separate message saying that in that same game, another guy came in and had three home runs in that same game… The same guy did that. He did both things,” James said, according to the Mind The Game podcast.
LeBron James breaks NBA record in his return to the Lakers with 11 points and 12 assists
LeBron James broke a record: he became the first basketball player to compete in 23 NBA seasons when he debuted in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 140-126 victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. ‘King James’, a collector of all kinds of records, made a good physical impression in his 30 minutes on the court.
The forward scored 11 points and dished out 12 assists, leaving the offensive burden on Luka Doncic’s shoulders. Despite the absence of LeBron James, who missed the first 14 games of the season due to sciatica (the player will turn 41 in December), the Lakers performed better than expected, achieving 10 wins and only 4 losses without their star.
