LeBron James took to Instagram to send a strong two-word message a few hours before Thursday’s highly anticipated clash between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers.
“I’m HIM,” wrote the four-time NBA champ, which appears to be a statement of intent ahead of the big game.
Steph Curry arrived at Crypto.com Arena a couple of hours before tip-off, and it is clear that the former back-to-back MVP is also completely locked in on what should be another compelling matchup between these two rival teams.
“30’s on site,” the Warriors posted on X, sharing a video of Curry’s arrival at the arena.

The 11-time All-Star quickly grabbed the attention of Warriors fans as soon as he arrived.
“AURA,” a comment on X read.
“GOAT,” declared another.
“Show No mercy @StephenCurry30,” demanded a fan.
“Holy aura,” a reaction read.
“this looks like a man about to drop 45/7/12,” predicted a user.
“40 piece incoming with 7 threes,” said another.
Curry looked like he was all business as he entered the arena. The 37-year-old point guard is hoping to build off his incredible 52-point explosion from Tuesday night’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies, but James and the Lakers will do everything in their power to make sure that this won’t happen.
The stage has been set for another classic.
