It’s late May, and LeBron James is playoff-less. So this will have to suffice.

The King found himself head-to-head with a teenager in an impromptu 3-point competition over the weekend, while watching his oldest son “Bronny” take part in a Los Angeles basketball tournament.

“I got called out by my guy and in my opinion the best shooters (he can do more too) for the Class of 2023 @gcupps23 today,” James wrote on Instagram. “Told him about a certain switch I can hit when needed and he didn’t believe me. Well he found out the hard way!”

Gabe Cupps, 14 and not yet on this earth when LeBron took his NBA throne, wore a white jersey emblazoned with No. 23 and put on a show with the Lakers superstar.

They went back-and-forth for three rounds before Cupps missed, and LeBron delivered the dagger.

The tensions weren’t quite as high as his last eight straight trips to the NBA finals, but the 34-year-old James couldn’t help but beam while exiting the floor.
