[Saba Sports News] LeBron James continues to embrace his “corny dad” persona. The Los Angeles Lakers star, staying true to his image, shared a whimsical Instagram post on Christmas Eve, celebrating his stellar performance.
In a game against the OKC Thunder at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, James, 38, delivered a season-best performance. He scored an impressive 40 points, along with 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, leading to a 129-120 victory.
The following day, James took to Instagram to post his take on the popular “not real” airplane meme, highlighting his exceptional game. The post featured a woman in the video commenting on the unreality of the situation, as the camera shifted to James celebrating in the plane’s aisle.
James’ caption exuded a strong “dad joke” vibe, playfully suggesting that the woman in the meme was revealing his secret identity. He jokingly referred to himself as “#ThekidfromAKRON” in the caption.
It’s worth noting that James has been a father for 19 years, a role where dad jokes are almost a given. He recently shared a touching Instagram message to his son Bronny, who returned to basketball following a cardiac arrest in July.
As a devoted father still scoring 40 points in NBA games as he nears 40, James seems to have earned the right to share whatever content he pleases on his social media.
