Watch: Lakers players make goat sounds during LeBron James' postgame interview

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 4/5/23

LeBron James' teammates filled the Los Angeles Lakers locker room with goat sounds Tuesday night during the future Hall-of-Famer's postgame interview with media members.

James led the Lakers to a critical overtime win against the Utah Jazz, scoring a game-high 37 points and putting in the game-winning layup in the waning moments of the contest. With the victory (their fourth in a row), Los Angeles (41-38) is now in seventh place in the Western Conference and have clinched at least a spot in the Play-In Tournament.

The Lakers have just three regular-season games left and can still finish as high as the No. 5 or No. 6 seed and avoid the Play-In Tournament altogether.

Regardless of how many more game-winning baskets "LBJ" pours in during his career, how many more All-Star honors he earns or if he can win any more MVPs or championships, the LeBron James-Michael Jordan GOAT debate will likely rage on for decades. One thing's for sure, James' current teammates have a very clear opinion on who the GOAT is, and more moments like Tuesday night will only increase the locker room shenanigans.
