LeBron James is constantly watching and playing basketball. He’s obsessed with the game and confirms that whenever he has the chance. Be it playing in the Drew League for the first time in 11 years or watching games courtside or at home, the King is always paying attention to the scene.
More recently, he saw a big move from one of the best WNBA players right now, praising her for his play and the subsequent celebration. Phoenix Mercury’s superstar Skylar Diggins recently put a rival on her skates before making a big bucket and hitting a big celebration.

Bron has been one of the NBA stars wanting to draw some attention to the WNBA, and his activity on social media might help the league get more fans this season. Players like Diggins make the competition very entertaining and they should get more attention than they receive right now. The Mercury have one of the best teams in the WNBA, having Diggins and one of the GOATs, Diana Taurasi on the roster.
Meanwhile, LeBron is getting ready to face another challenging season with the Los Angeles Lakers after a terrible campaign. The King is trying his best to be in the proper shape to face the 2022/23 season, where the Purple and Gold will try to bounce back and demonstrate they aren’t done yet.
Right now, they have to figure out what to do with Russell Westbrook, or else they’d have another disappointing season regardless of the changes they’ve made on the coaching staff.
