LeBron James has been the face of the NBA for over two decades now. Having entered the league in 2003, the Philadelphia 76ers star has enjoyed a stellar career, which includes multiple MVP honors and the title of the league’s all-time scoring leader.

However, during the 76ers’ 114-109 win over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, signs of Father Time catching up to the 41-year-old became more apparent.

NBA World Erupts After Seeing LeBron James Blocked and Crossed Over vs. Pacers

Early in the second quarter, James became a victim of a chase-down block, which was once a signature weapon in his arsenal. With 11:51 left on the clock, the four-time champion went for an open layup with Jalen Slawson chasing him.

As the 22-time All-Star went up for the layup, Slawson swatted the ball away.

Underdog NBA highlighted the moment, quipping, “LeBron gets a taste of his own medicine from Jalen Slawson.”

Hater Report expressed disbelief, writing, “[expletive], man. We’re really witnessing the end of LeBron James’ career right before our very eyes 💔🕊️.”

A Lakers fan page was left stunned, writing, “LeBron got hawked down by a random 😭. He apologized after 😭.”

The chase-down block was not the only play that drew attention. Late in the fourth quarter, James attempted to defend Andrew Nembhard at the 3-point line on the left wing.

The Pacers guard hit a right-to-left crossover, throwing the four-time MVP off balance before attempting a step-back triple that didn’t go in.

It was an unusual sight to see James get shaken off so easily by his man, and one content creator was left stunned by the spectacle, remarking, “AYYYOOOOOO Andrew Nembhard just violated LeBron James, but the shot didn’t go in.”

Another James fan page expressed nervousness, writing, “Felt my heart sink to my (expletive) when Nembhard released that.”

One NBA fan joked about the 76ers star barely avoiding a major injury, quipping, “Bron almost got his ACL took 😭.”

Hater Report did not hold back and posted, “Andrew Nembhard crossed LeBron James all the way off the screen lmaoo. I’M CRYING 😂😂😂.”

NBA Memes joined in on the flurry of reactions and joked, “Nembhard broke LeBron’s ankles and nearly sent him to an early retirement😭.”

While the viral moments did raise eyebrows, James was his reliable self in Philadelphia’s win against a Pacers side missing Tyrese Haliburton. The veteran finished with 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Tyrese Maxey led the way for the 76ers with a game-high 27 points.

James’ waning athleticism in his 24th season will undoubtedly continue to draw attention as he continues his chase for a fifth ring.
