In a lighthearted moment during an interview with Austin Reaves at the Lakers’ media day, LeBron James pulled off an unexpected prank. While Reaves was discussing the team, he was interrupted by loud, strange noises. His surprised expression quickly turned to amusement when he realized the culprit was none other than King James himself. Reaves playfully responded, “Ignore it, ignore him,” as soon as he recognized LeBron behind the scream.

The loud noise caught everyone’s attention, but one reporter humorously remarked, “He’s in year 22, he’s allowed to scream,” referencing LeBron’s long tenure in the NBA. Reaves joined in on the fun, joking, “That’s age forty coming,” taking a good-natured jab at LeBron’s age. The exchange added a touch of humor to the event, showcasing the camaraderie between the Lakers stars.

However, many were left wondering why LeBron screamed in the first place. The mystery was cleared up later when the NBA’s official X account posted a hilarious video featuring LeBron. In the clip, the cameraman asks, “What’s your reaction to being the oldest player in the league? Again.” LeBron’s response was priceless—he let out a dramatic scream, covering his head with both hands. The funny reaction quickly went viral, and the video has taken over X, leaving the basketball community in stitches. The hoops world couldn’t help but laugh along with LeBron’s playful reaction.

As the NBA posted King James’ funny reaction. It sparked a few memories for all of us as well. A case similar to the one we just talked about was Luka Doncic’s, where the mic picked up some NSFW noises and everyone started laughing. However, Austin narrowly escaped the embarrassment here because in his case the culprit was King James. Whereas, it was different in Luka’s. If you remember Luka Doncic’s interview from last season’s finals. If not? Let us take a look at that.

Throwback to Luka’s funny reaction to some NSFW sounds while being interviewed

In a situation almost identical to the one we just discussed, Luka Dončić was left speechless during his interview after Game 2 of the NBA Finals. As Luka was breaking down the Mavericks’ victory, the moment took an unexpected turn when NSFW sounds suddenly echoed through the room. The mic picked up the noise, and the entire room, including Luka, burst into laughter, leaving the star player momentarily stunned. The unexpected interruption quickly became a memorable and hilarious moment for everyone present.

Luka’s eyes popped and he put his hand on his face trying to hide his laughter. He started to smile and then turned to the mic to say “I hope that’s not live”. All the people in the room could not control their laughs at Luka’s comment.

The caption on the post summarizes the situation aptly by saying “Definitely the weirdest start to a press conference I’ve ever experienced”. Well, we suppose he was not the only one who felt this way. Everyone shared the same thought.

Both situations are quite similar and gather the same reactions from fans. Reaves and Doncic both added to the humor in the situations and made everyone watching laugh even more.
