Novak Djokovic Pays Homage to Lakers Star LeBron James but came out with a...

Tennis World No. 1 player Novak Djokovic posted a video of him on Instagram hitting a 3-pointer at Crypto.com Arena and quickly pulled the LeBron James‘ celebration, paying homage to the Los Angeles Lakers superstar.

Djokovic, whom former World No. 1 Jim Courier considers the GOAT (greatest of all time), pulled up for the Lakers-Golden State Warriors game on March 16.

The Lakers lost that game 128-121, but not after James scored 40 points as he tried to carry his team on his back following Anthony Davis‘ exit late in the first quarter with an eye injury.

The tennis star from Serbia met with James before the game and gave him an autographed tennis racquet.

“Amazing to witness greatness on and off the court. King 👑 Lebron and Steph performance was outstanding last night. So impressive to see them still going strong at their age. Good luck to both of these superstars and all time greats 🙌👏🏀,” Djokovic wrote on Instagram. “Thank you @lakers for kind hospitality few weeks ago and last night 🙏🏻”

Djokovic’s presence came after another tennis legend, his former rival, Roger Federer paid a visit to Curry and the Warriors on March 9.

Unfortunately for Federer, Curry did not play and the Warriors lost 126-113 to the San Antonio Spurs at their home court.
