Remember that 2016 finals post-game interview, where an interviewer, gutsy enough, asked what LeBron had to say on the Klay Thompson statement? So, back when James was playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Klay commented, ?He just got his feelings hurt,? to ?The King’, he just smiled and gave the GSW a show.

The now-39-year-old responded with a 41-point score in game 4, 41 in game 5, a triple-double in game 7, a Finals MVP, and an NBA championship. The legend is entering his 21st season and can still register an average of 29 points.

LeBron Reminiscent of the 2016 Championship: ?Smile?

In a recent media interaction, LeBron was asked about any comments from the Denver Nuggets that motivated the ?King? to go all in. Hard-core NBA fans could see the same 2016 final smile that destroyed the Warriors. However, the laker?s face decided to just respond, ?Everybody will get it.”

As the first regular-season game with Michael Malone?s Nuggets is coming up, LeBron just gave a soft warning to the franchise for what they might witness on the field. The smile said, ?So better come prepared.”?It’s a daily business for the ‘King’ to silence the detractors, while still displaying a better gameplay than the entire team.

King James vs. Nikola Jokic

Michael Malone, head coach of the Denver Nuggets has already clarified in an interview that just because two teams have had a face-off twice, in the Western Conference finals, that doesn’t mean a constant rivalry. The awkward silence still prevails, since the Lakers lost to the Nuggets in the finals.

Well, taking the preseason scores into consideration, LeBron still stands a chance. With an average of 13.7 points and 4.3 assists in 18.8 minutes per game, shooting 46.4 percent from the field, LeBron James still has a long fight to sustain the title.

With the power-packed duo of Anthony Davis who can handle both ends, and James who still has a better scoring average than most team members of the Nuggets there is a chance to re-write history. Defending champions, the Denver Nuggets will take this game to fuel their inflated ego and prove to the league that they are back for more. Although while receiving their rings, they better be prepared for the Tuesday night showdown.
