LeBron James drops 2-word reaction while jamming ahead of Lakers vs Warriors clash in LA

LeBron James of the LA Lakers is oozing with confidence ahead of their clash against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. On his Instagram stories, James posted a video of himself inside his car, jamming to the song "H.I.M." by Eladio Carrion.

In his IG story, he had a two-word caption to sum up how confident he was feeling before the game.

"I'm. H.I.M." James posted.

The Lakers' game against the Warriors will be their fourth and final matchup of the 2024-25 NBA season. James and his team are entering the game with a 3-0 advantage in their four-game season series. They're looking to end their series against their Western Conference rival with a sweep.

The last time they played against each other was on Feb. 6. The Lakers already traded Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic at that time, but he didn't play that game as he was dealing with a calf strain. Los Angeles took control of the bout and came away with a 120-112 victory, with James leading the way.

The four-time champion had 42 points, 17 rebounds and eight assists on 66.7% shooting from deep.

The last game the Lakers played was against the Houston Rockets on Monday. They had a 104-98 win, thanks to the collective effort of the group.

It will also be the first time the Warriors will face the Lakers with their newest addition, Jimmy Butler. At the trade deadline, Golden State traded for Butler via a five-team deal.
