LeBron James, the legendary LA Lakers player, has referenced Call Of Duty and Super Mario in one of his locker room speeches, and fans are going crazy. 

The ongoing season has been trivial for the Los Angeles Lakers, as they had only registered 2 wins out of 10 at the start. But well, it looked like the tables turned for them in the last game with their power forward LeBron James being optimistic about the same. Apparently, the basketball legend was seen smiling in the locker room while talking to his team after their game with Minnesota Grizzlies. Interestingly, he even sparred some words while laying down facts that made instant headlines for the week.

LeBron referenced two AAA titles in his speech that broke the internet, proving how focused he was on the playoffs. 

What did LeBron James say while addressing the LA Lakers? 

After destroying the Grizzlies, the Lakers had a laugh in the locker room. But it looked like the captain had something different in mind as he addressed the team differently. While talking about how they had to make their comeback, LeBron referenced Call Of Duty and Super Mario. 

He said, “Y’all play Call of Duty. Y’all know what that means going to the next level, y’all play Mario Bros, you know what that means.” In addition to that, he added, “Level 2 is upon us.” This gaming reference from James did not startle the gaming community, as they were aware of his love for video games. Vividly, the basketball player had kicked off the new year with his Xbox. There, LeBron was spotted grinding in NFL as a video featuring him surfaced on the internet.

On the other hand, Anthony Davis, a fellow Lakers player, also shared his interests in video games as fans spotted him along with streamers. In fact, Davis also runs a Twitch account and streams whenever possible. So LeBron referencing those video games in his speech was given.
