The Philadelphia 76ers got the better of the Los Angeles Lakers, and how! They won by a staggering 44-point margin. LeBron James and co. could only stand and watch the wreckage caused primarily by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. In the Sixers winning by a score of 138-94, Embiid scored 30 points, with 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Maxey, on the other hand, scored 31, with 8 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Bron and AD could gather only 18 and 17 points, respectively. After this sheer Sixers dominance, Tari Eason’s mother took to her social media and reacted hilariously.

LeBron James has been in the league so long that his current on-court opponents are players who grew up watching him. One such player is the Rockets’ Tari Eason. He even referred to the young Rocket as ‘nephew’ once. His mother took to her X (formerly Twitter) and expressed her reaction to the match. Shocked as we all are by looking at this huge margin, she feels that this should garner more attention.

She said, “The rise of the Sixers needs closer attention cause wtf “ with a surprised emoji. We all agree with her, don’t we? The Sixers were in the news for all bad reasons in the beginning of the season. The James Harden trade is one such reason. They bounced back and in what manner! In times like these, we cannot help but appreciate the efforts put in by the team.

Tari Eason’s connection with LeBron

LeBron once took to his Instagram story and mentioned Tari Eason as his nephew. He reportedly praised the latter for his dunk. Apart from that, Eason’s mother once posted on X about how her son treats LeBron. She wrote, “He said ‘Mom I told ’em I’m on Bron. I knew he wanted the rack. I know his whole bag. There’s NOTHING he can’t do. I’ve been defending him in my mind since I was 3.’ Y’all, this was the greatest moment of my sons life. And it’s not even close.”
