LeBron James led his team to a victory in the All-Star game this weekend. He had a time of his life as he won yet another NBA All-Star game. The LA Lakers starman has never lost an All-Star game when he has been captain of his team. This time around Stephen Curry was on top-notch form as he miraculously scored 16 three-pointers and had 50 points in total. James also came in clutch when he scored the winning points. Team LeBron emerged victorious 163-160.

But soon after the win, he had to deal with a problem regarding his son’s Instagram account.

After the win in the All-Star game, LeBron would resume his campaign with the LA Lakers very soon. Things have looked upwards for the Lakers after a rather underwhelming season so far.

They are 9th seed at the moment in the Western Conference and need a convincing win streak to avoid the play-in tournament which they had to play last season as well. They are 3 spots behind the Nuggets with a 27-31 record.
