LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, is in his 22nd NBA season. After nine games this season, James has already surpassed all previous scoring leaders in the league and has no signs of slowing down.
James is starting the season with a career-high three-point shooting percentage of 47.1% while averaging 23.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.1 assists. The Lakers have a 5-4 record after nine games thanks to James’ strong start to the season.
Los Angeles started the season with a 3-0 record, lost four of their next five games, and then defeated the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night to climb back into the win column.
After this victory, James responded to some devastating news. It was revealed that actor Tony Todd had died at the age of 69 in a Complex Instagram post.
Complex posted a caption that read, “Tony Todd, most notably known for his roles in ‘Candyman’ and ‘Final Destination’, has passed away at the age of 69.” “May he rest in peace.”
“DAMN NOT MAN!!!! REST IN PARADISE” was James’ Instagram story post expressing his response.
Rap icon and ardent Lakers supporter Snoop Dogg is among the more than 3,000 comments on this Complex Instagram post. “Candy man,” said Snoop Dogg.
James is among the many Todd fans who are heartbroken by this news. Those who admired his performances are remembering the great actor, who had an amazing career.
