LeBron James' Viral Tweet After Lakers Eliminate Grizzlies

LeBron James sent out a tweet after the Los Angeles Lakers eliminated the Memphis Grizzlies from the NBA Playoffs.

On Friday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 125-85 in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series.   

With the victory, the Lakers have advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs, while the Grizzlies will head home for the offseason.   

On Saturday morning, four-time NBA Champion LeBron James sent out a tweet that is going viral.   

James tweeted: "Unlike you little 🤬 I'm a grown ass man Big shoes to fill 🤬, grown ass pants Prolly hustled with your pops, go ask your parents Its apparent you're staring at a legend Who, put a few little 🤬 in the they place before Trying to eat without saying they grace before! 🤫👑"

Unlike you little 🤬I'm a grown ass man
Big shoes to fill 🤬, grown ass pants
Prolly hustled with your pops, go ask your parents
Its apparent you're staring at a legend
Who, put a few little 🤬in the they place before
Trying to eat without saying they grace before! 🤫👑

James finished Game 6 with 22 points, five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes of playing time.  

At 38, he is still among the ten best players in the NBA and finished the series with averages of 22.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 48.6% from the field. 

The Lakers will now face off against either the Sacramento Kings or the Golden State Warriors.

That series is tied up at 3-3, and there will be a Game 7 (in Sacramento) on Sunday afternoon.  

Even though the Lakers are the seventh seed in the Western Conference, they have one of the most talented rosters in the league and will have an excellent chance to compete for the 2023 NBA Championship. 

Game 1 of their second-round playoff series will be on Tuesday night. 

Up next: the Lakers get a much-needed rest after a physically grueling series against Memphis, with the weekend to recover and watch GSW/SAC Game 7; then they’ll head up to Northern California for Tuesday’s Game 1. pic.twitter.com/qKNPiztUSe
