Over the last few years, Draymond Green has become a huge fan of LeBron James. It is even more surprising after considering the fact that the two players faced off against each other in the NBA Finals for four straight years.
Speaking of Green becoming an admirer of LeBron James, the Golden State Warriors star proved that once again. Green reacted to James’ ever-so-famous powder toss during his return from injury against the Chicago Bulls.
“I also thought it was hilarious that he did the powder toss. Those are flexes. … Them like the ultimate flexes, and I can respect a good flex.”

The Los Angeles Lakers may have lost against the Chicago Bulls, but the Laker Nation was happy to see LeBron James back on the court after missing 13 straight games due to a torn tendon in his foot.

It was only the second time in his NBA career that James came off the bench. Even after that, James did not hesitate to do his famous powdered toss. Fans loved seeing that from James, and Draymond Green seemed to agree with them.
The Warriors star described it as the ultimate flex and also pointed out that he always respects a good flex.
LeBron James Believes The Lakers Can Be A Top-Six Seed In The Western Conference
The Chicago Bulls ruined LeBron James’ return to playing basketball. Following the defeat, the Lakers fell to the ninth spot in the Western Conference and now have a 37-38 record.
In the defeat, James recorded 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. Despite losing the crucial game, James showed unwavering trust in the Lakers, and he still believes that the Purple and Gold can finish the season as a top-six seed in the conference.
“We go 8-5, and now we’re sitting at a chance to be able to, ‘Hell with play-in, we actually can be a top-six seed,’ that definitely changed my mindset on me coming back and trying to be a part of this,” LeBron said. “I don’t wanna say changed my mindset, it just enhanced what I was trying to do as far as my workouts and treatment went.”
Theoretically, LeBron James and the Lakers still have a shot at finishing the season as a top-six seed in the West. But it’s easier said than done, and the Lakers will have to play at their sparkling best in the final seven games of the season to achieve that.
