The Dressing Room LeBron James

During the All-Star Games, our King, LeBron James won't be playing due to the soreness of his ankle, but that doesn't stop the King from greeting his opponents and teammates!

On the video, LeBron greets everyone (yes, including Jalen Brown, don't be a pot stirrer!) and even talks to the players. With this attitude, we all know that LeBron James is a one, cool dude—always talking and clowning around with the players even off the court! One cool thing about LeBron James is: he's always game in whatever the other players greet him so it's kinda normal to him that Nikola Jokic greeted him with a slight butt tap!

Even if LeBron James doesn't get to play in this year's All-Star Game, it is great to know that the younger players have a mentor and a big brother in him, making them feel that they belong and making them realize that they are part of the league. And as for Nikola Jokic's butt-tap greetings, keep 'em coming, because the NBA needs unserious players every once in a while!
