On Thursday night, as the championship-contending Cleveland Cavaliers took on the upstart Los Angeles Lakers, all eyes were trained on LeBron James and Lonzo Ball.
The first overall pick in the famed 2003 NBA Draft class and the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft class.
The three-time champion and the neophyte.
The King of the NBA and the Big Baller of Los Angeles.
Future teammates.
At least that’s the case if you were betting your money on James leaving the Cavs this offseason to lead the Lakers, his favorite team growing up, back to the Promised Land.
