After making a layup while driving past the Lakers’ legend, Ben Simmons locks eyes with LeBron James in the Nets’ 129-126 preseason loss.

Ben Simmons, a starter for the Brooklyn Nets, made a layup in the Lakers’ 129-126 preseason triumph, and then he glared down Los Angeles superstar LeBron James.

Simmons put together a burst of speed in the first quarter and drove past James for the Nets’ first basket of the game.

After the 27-year-old scored a layup over James, they both appeared to be staring each other down as they walked back down the floor.Simmons finished his 14 minutes on the court with 10 points and 3 assists.

However, James only saw action for 17 minutes but finished with 10 points and 5 assists.Cam Thomas, a shooting guard with the Nets, scored a game-high 26 points, but his team still lost the exhibition game.

Both Cameron Johnson and Dariq Whitehead, forwards for Brooklyn, were classified as game-time decisions, so they sat out the tune-up game.

On the other side, the Lakers had a significantly longer list of players that were listed as unavailable for the game.

Jarred Vanderbilt, Cam Reddish, and Vincent Valerio-Bodon did not play in the exhibition game, nor did guards Damion Baugh and Scotty Pippen Jr.

The next exhibition game for the Brooklyn Nets will be against the Ra’Anana of Israel, while the Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Sacramento Kings.

Austin Reaves goes viral for impressive trιck shσt at TopGolf

On the basketball court and the driving range, Austin Reaves is him.

The TopGolf trιck shot that Los Angeles Lakers fan favorite Reaves made this week in Las Vegas, Nevada, went viral. The Lakers are presently in Sin City ahead of Monday’s preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets.

D’Angelo Russell, a guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, posted a video of right-handed hitter Reaves experimenting with a left-handed club and still easily sending the ball to Pluto. Check out the video that Russell just posted on his Instagram Story.Given that Russell is a lefty, it seems likely that Reaves was merely playing around with Russell’s club. But you wouldn’t know it from Reaves’s swing in terms of form, fluidity, or power.

Reaves, who just signed a new four-year, $56 million deal to return to the Lakers this offseason, displayed the finest golf swing we have seen from an NBA player in quite some time. To catch up to the TopGolf achievements of this other SoCal athlete, he still has a long way to go.
