Matteo Berrettini expressed his admiration for LeBron James’ remarkable performance in leading the LA Lakers to a stunning comeback victory against the LA Clippers.
During the game, the Lakers faced a daunting 98-77 deficit in the fourth quarter with just over 11 minutes remaining. James then delivered a masterclass, orchestrating one of the most impressive fourth-quarter comebacks of his career, culminating in a 116-112 victory for the Lakers.
In the final quarter alone, James outscored the entire Clippers team 19-16 and played a pivotal role in 30 of his team’s 39 points, combining his scoring with crucial assists.
Despite being the oldest player in the NBA at 39, James showcased his enduring brilliance, tallying 34 points, six rebounds, and eight assists. Reflecting on his performance, he remarked (as reported by the BBC):
“I was in the zone, can’t really describe it. That was just the feeling – when you feel like everything you put up is going in, [You] wish you could stay in it forever.
[You] feel you have a superpower.” “My teammates did a great job of continuing to find me, and I then just tried to dictate the tempo, dictate the game as we started making a run for it and getting the game closer.”
Berrettini, a devoted fan of the NBA and LeBron James, took to Instagram to laud James’ incredible display. He shared a post celebrating the Lakers superstar’s heroics against the Clippers on his story, accompanied by the caption:
