Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers etched their name in history, clinching their second-straight championship, weathering a 3-0 and 4-2 deficit, coming back 5-4. When the game was sealed in the 11th inning of Game 7, it wasn’t just baseball fans celebrating; NBA superstars all joined in the celebration, including Los Angeles Lakers superstars LeBron James and Luka Doncic. After Miguel Rojas’ tying drive and Will Smith’s home run iced the game, LeBron quickly took to X, posting, “The 2 best words in sports. GAME SEVEN!!!! Wow what a game!!!” He later followed that up, joining the celebration for his LA peers: “CONGRATULATIONS @Dodgers!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾” LeBron’s commentary showcases the shared competitive spirit that drives championship-winning teams across leagues and sports. With his simple message, he highlighted the drama, resilience, and legacy being built before him, and in doing so, he underscored how NBA players view milestones outside of hoops as a reflection of their own aspirations.
