The thrill of the NBA is still throbbing as the Denver Nuggets clash with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the decisive Game 7 of the West’s semi-finals. Sure, the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t contending in the NBA anymore this season. But that doesn’t mean their roster won’t watch the games. Take LeBron James as an example here. The Akron Hammer is at the comfort of his home, healing from his MCL injury. At the same time, he is not missing out on West’s drama.

As Paycom Center has lit up once again to greet Denver, Bron took to his X handle. Moments before the kick-off whistle, the Lakers’ superstar dropped a tweet. Well, you could say that it’s his true feelings spewing out as he sits away from the action and the arena. Thus, LeBron James wrote: “Best 2 words in SPORTS… GAME 7!!!!!!”

It’s hard to guess for whom he’s cheering on Sunday. Nonetheless, LeBron’s enthusiasm for the sport despite the disheartening elimination in Round 1 vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves feels heartwarming. Draymond Green said the Warriors were a second-round team, and the same applies to the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite being the fourth seed in the West, they settled for being the “first-round team.”

Amidst the heartbreak and recovery, LeBron James hasn’t kept aside his love for the sport. Throughout his career, he’s been through several Game 7 experiences. So, he knows the thrill and pressure that unfold at every step, every bucket, and every scrimmage. Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets pulled off the greatest trick of the season so far. Right ahead of their face-off, they made an announcement, and that could change the trajectory of their fate.

Now, the Nuggets have left fans speechless by confirming Gordon is set to take the court tonight. The stage is set for a dramatic showdown.
