Revealing a funny incident that took place during a Team USA Basketball practice, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James ended up locking up none other than Jeff Van Gundy, the former NBA coach turned commentator. Yep, you heard it right! James managed to completely shut down Van Gundy on the court, leaving everyone in stitches.
It all happened when the team was going through defensive drills, and James was tasked with guarding Van Gundy. The moment Van Gundy tried to make a move, James used his ridiculous size and skills to trap him in a corner, not letting him go anywhere. It was like a giant towering over a little kid, and Van Gundy couldn’t do anything but struggle to get through.
For someone who is known for his high basketball IQ and defensive prowess, James showed no mercy even to someone not known for their on-court skills. It just goes to show the competitive nature of NBA players, even during a casual practice with colleagues.
The incident also brought some light-hearted fun to the practice session, breaking the tension and adding some comic relief to the serious business of preparing for the Olympics in Paris.
Next time you see LeBron James locking up some unsuspecting victim on the court, just remember that even the best players in the world can find joy in the simple act of playing the game. And who knows, maybe one day you’ll be the one getting locked up by King James himself!
