NBA fans react as LeBron James leads Lakers to 3-0 lead over Rockets

Troy Taormina -- IMAGN IMAGES

The Los Angeles Lakers took a commanding 3-0 lead over the Houston Rockets on Friday, thanks in part to the brilliance of 41-year-old LeBron James.

James forced a steal in the closing seconds of regulation before knocking down a three to force overtime, which the Lakers would eventually control. En route to the win, James also connected with his son Bronny James on a one-of-a-kind alley-oop.

After the magical performance in which he had 29 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, the NBA world was in awe of James. Many fans online decided that Friday night’s game ended the infamous GOAT debate between James and Michael Jordan.

Despite missing both Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, the Lakers are now on the verge of sweeping the Rockets and moving on to the second round.

While the GOAT debate may never truly be over, James continues to strengthen his argument in ways we have never seen before.
