LA Lakers’ LeBron James scored his third consecutive triple-double against Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, November 6, and became the first Laker in 32 years to do so. LA Lakers shared the news on Twitter, which 'King' James retweeted with the caption #WashedKing, a shushing face emoji and a crown. The caption was James’ subtle way of mocking everyone who has previously called him a washed king.
