LeBron James is in his 19th season in the NBA, something you’ll undoubtedly hear a lot about on Lakers broadcasts, since it’s incredible that he can still be one of the best players in the game as he approaches 37 years old this December.
On Sunday night, James wowed once more as he and the Lakers faced the struggling Rockets in a matchup that was ripe for the taking for L.A, who were searching for a win and were handed one of the NBA’s youngest teams on a plate. It was a very happy Halloween in Staples Center as LeBron and company took away the Rockets early, taking a 20-point advantage into the third quarter. James was so ecstatic that he sat courtside to see the game. Or so it appeared as the camera caught a LeBron doppelgänger seated behind James rushing down the floor, drawing the attention of the crowd.
It helps that the man in the background is out of focus, but he really does eerily look like LeBron is watching himself, just wearing a hat. Immediately, NBA Twitter brought the jokes, with plenty of movie references, but also others who felt this was a bit too spooky of a coincidence for Halloween.
