As James underwent an on-court interview following his masterful outing, Reaves crashed into the frame, yelling out LeBron's point total before delivering a hilarious NSFW message: "Old a--!"

Austin Reaves does not see why anybody is still doubting LeBron James. In his mind, anybody still doubting James after the Los Angeles Lakers’ gritty win over the Portland Trail Blazers is merely a Michael Jordan supporter.

Heading into Thursday night's game against the Blazers, LeBron James had every reason to give himself a break. He'd sat out Sunday's NBA All-Star game with a bad ankle, a move that caused a bit of controversy, then came back and played on Wednesday in a make-up game against the Hornets, a game that ended in a disappointing loss.

Perhaps the foot and ankle ailment that LeBron James used as an excuse to sit out of the NBA All-Star Game is a real ailment after all.
