LA Lakers forward LeBron James has put up incredible numbers in 71 games this season. In his 21st NBA season, the 39-year-old athlete is aiming for a fifth championship. However, last night's 114-103 loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series sent NBA fans into a frenzy.X user HTB (@HenryTheBlasian) wanted to poke fun at a Crypto.com commercial. He edited the advice that James gave to his younger self in the commercial about making it to the league. The edited post had James advising himself to convince two-time MVP Nikola Jokic to pursue a different profession."Find a man named Nikola Jokic, convince him to pursue horse racing full time," the edited message read on X.Several NBA fans tweeted their reactions to the post on X."Horse racing fits Jokic perfectly," one fan tweeted.However, X user @Apex_Intellect had a different suggestion."You need to find Steph," they tweeted.@Goldenhoops_30 wanted Darvin Ham to be the one whose faith gets altered."'And make sure your head coach is never Darvin Ham,' literally sabotaging these dudes," they tweeted.@Samitalltohell felt Kyrie Irving should be acquired by the LA Lakers, while also considering a trade to the Boston Celtics if this plan doesn't see the light of day."'Tell the Lakers if they don't trade for Kyrie you're going to demand a trade to the Celtics,'" the fan tweeted.@CliffProduction suggested James should switch sides and join the Denver Nuggets instead."Or just join the Nuggets instead of Lakers, they tweeted.@BobMcMillan8 feels Nikola Jokic should have been selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2014 NBA draft, resulting in James returning home."'Tell the Cavs to draft Nikola Jokic with the first pick in 2014, go back to Cleveland, and never think about Kevin Love again,'" the fan tweeted.@bencsin mocked the younger version of James' hearing."Young Bron mishears and finds Nikola Jovic instead," the fan tweeted.Moreover, @tennessee6996 feels Lakers GM Rob Pelinka should never have considered trading for D'Angelo Russell."'Tell Pelinka to never trade for Dlo,'" they tweeted.In the Game 1 loss, James put up 27 points (10-of-16 shooting, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range), eight rebounds and six assists.LeBron James had high praise for Nikola JokicLeBron James lavished praise on the Nuggets superstar, per Los Angeles Times' Dan Woike."He does everything. Does everything," James said. "The most important thing is he changes the way his teammates think about their own play. When you're able to inspire your teammates to play at a level that sometimes they don't even feel like they can play at, that's the true testament of a great one."There's no denying the challenge for James and the LA Lakers in their first-round playoff matchup against the defending champions. With the Nuggets taking Game 1, the Lakers must find a way to steal Game 2 on the road before returning home.
