Like most sports fans, LeBron James was excited to see tennis legend Serena Williams in action in the second round of the US Open. After defeating Montenegro's Danka Kovinic in straight sets in the first round, Williams was up against a much tougher opponent in the form of second seed Anett Kontaveit.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion showed her class as she bagged a victory in three sets at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. LeBron James was ecstatic after Serena Williams' win and the four-time NBA champion posted a story on Instagram where he imitated the sound of a GOAT to express his appreciation for her.

"GOAT talk, GOAT talk, I see you Serena, GOAT Talk," said James.

Fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts on James' reaction after Williams' second-round win.

Several fans praised James for appreciating Williams' performances. Some also took a dig at the basketball star, saying that James' tribute was an in fact an ode to Michael Jordan.

How long can LeBron James continue to play at a hgh level?

LeBron James showed last season that he has a lot left in his tank. Playing in Year 19, he showed no signs of slowing down as he averaged 30.3 points per game (PPG). Despite his stellar performances, the LA Lakers were unable to make the playoffs. But his individual brilliance was an indication that King James still has a lot of basketball left in him.

Entering Year 20, there are high expectations from James. He recently signed a two-year extension with the LA Lakers and will be looking to once again lead them to a championship.

Another one of James' goals is to play with his son Bronny. The 17-year-old is a senior in high school and could be eligible for the draft in 2024. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, King James revealed that he would also love to share the court with his younger son, Bryce James.

Bryce is entering his sophomore year of high school. He has already shown some great potential and has also received D1 offers. However, Bryce would only be eligible for the 2027 draft.

LeBron James would be 42 years old by then. He works hard on his physical conditioning, but playing the game at a high level at 42 will be a huge ask.
