The 35-year-old helped Lakers end their NBA title drought and in-process became the first player to win the NBA Finals MVP with three different franchises. While the former Miami Heat star is a roaring beast on the court, off the field, James is a very jovial character, and one can ascertain that through his social media activity.

Michael B Jordan is a highly acclaimed actor, having starred in movies such as Creed, Black Panther and Fantastic Four. The post could also be intended as a dig at Michael Jordan, who acted in the original Space Jam movie. The 1996 movie presents a fictionalized account of what happened between Jordan's initial retirement from the NBA in 1993 and his 1995 comeback. The movie portrays that Michael Joran was enlisted by the Looney Tunes to help them win a basketball match against a group of aliens who intend to capture them as attractions for their theme park.
