There is always a great game when the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors play. There is a long-running competition between two all-time greats, LeBron James and Stephen Curry. This rivalry always seems to bring out the best in each other.

There are also a lot of famous people in the crowd when the Lakers and Warriors play. On Saturday night, Novak Djokovic, who is probably the best male tennis player of all time, was there at the Crypto.com Arena.

Before and after the game, Djokovic was able to spend some time with both LeBron James and Stephen Curry. He then went on Instagram to praise the four-time NBA champion.

Before the game started, Djokovic was also able to spend some time on the court. He showed off his jumper by making a smooth 3-pointer.

For a long time, Djokovic has enjoyed hoops in general. He has been very open about how much he looks up to Kobe Bryant and how the “Mamba Mentality” has helped him throughout his career. He even paid respect to Kobe after winning his record 24th Major Championship. In the same way, Djokovic has praised LeBron for staying focused and working hard to stay the best as he nears the end of his career.

Anthony Davis had to leave the game that night because he hurt his eye, and James did his best to fill in. LeBron had 40 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists, but it wasn’t enough for the Warriors. Curry scored 31 points to lead them to a 128-121 win.

There is always a link between truly great players who have changed the game, and it is clear that Djokovic has a lot of respect for both LeBron and Michael.
