LeBron James and Anthony Davis were seen discussing matters outside of the realm of basketball following the LA Lakers-Golden State Warriors game at Staples Center on Tuesday.
As James wrapped up his post-game interview with the media to make way for Davis, the two engaged in a conversation about the popular Netflix series, Squid Game.
When Davis asked him whether he'd finished the series, James had this to say:
"Yeah, I did finish it. Did you finish it? You watched it? You done? Yeah, I didn't like the ending though. No, I know they started off with a season two but like, get on the f**king flight, go see your daughter, bro. Like, what are you doing?"
