Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been a fixture in the NBA across the last two decades, and the four-time champion remains an All-NBA talent in his 20th professional season. But even James isn’t immune to Father Time, as Houston Rockets rookie Jabari Smith Jr. reminded him Monday night.
Houston’s rookie forward is just 19 years old, with his May 2003 birth date checking in just five months before James' NBA debut. And despite the significant age gap between the two players, Smith made sure to note some familial ties between the two during Monday’s 140-132 loss in Los Angeles.
