NBA superstar LeBron James turned 38 years old and entered his 20th season last year. However, it seems like James has a good few more years left before he decides to retire from NBA. The 4x NBA champion had previously expressed his wish to play his last season with his son?Bronny James. There is no doubt that King James still remains one of the best players in the league and is lacking in no way. Despite that, a certain Houston Rockets star couldn’t help but remind the Los Angeles Lakers superstar of his ‘old age’.

NBA Twitter hilariously reacts to Rockets star’s jab on LeBron James
LeBron James was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers at the 2003 NBA draft. The 18x NBA All-Star was only about 19 years back then. He then went on to create a legacy that arguably matched that of NBA legends Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. While it seems like James is in no rush of tipping his hat and walking out of the court for good, Houston Rockets star Jabari Smith Jr. nevertheless took a sly dig at the Lakers forward. During the Lakers vs Rockets game, Smith called out to James to let him know that he had played his NBA debut game with Smith’s father.
Jabari Smith Jr. tells LeBron he played against Jabari’s dad in his first-ever NBA game. 😂
