Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James is watching Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets on Sunday.
The Game 7 winner will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the conference finals. The Timberwolves, of course, beat James and the Lakers in the first round of this year’s playoffs in five games.
A four-time MVP and four-time NBA Finals MVP, James posted on X as the Nuggets-Thunder game began in OKC. The future Hall of Famer, just like the rest of the NBA world, is super excited to watch the thrilling game to determine who will advance to the conference finals.
James has played in eight Game 7s during his iconic career. He is 6-2, averaging 34.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks.
The most legendary Game 7 James played in was during the 2016 NBA Finals between his Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. The Cavaliers won by a final score of 93-89, becoming the first team in NBA history to erase a 3-1 series deficit in the finals.
James had 27 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and three blocks in Game 7 against the Warriors in 2016, delivering Cleveland its first NBA championship.
It will be fascinating to see who wins Game 7 between the Nuggets and Thunder. OKC hasn’t been to the conference finals since 2016, while Denver won the 2023 championship against the Miami Heat after beating James and the Lakers in the conference finals.
