Lionel Messi’s transfer to Inter Miami shortly after winning the FIFA World Cup came as a shocking event that reverberated around the world. Despite offers amounting to a staggering billion dollars, Messi decided to join Inter Miami, and in his debut game, the Argentinian superstar delivered a jaw-dropping performance that left the world in awe.
The DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was filled to the brim with enthusiastic fans and celebrities, all eager to witness Messi’s first appearance for Inter Miami. Without disappointing the attendees, Messi scored the game-winning goal in the 94th minute, leading his team to a thrilling victory.
Among the spectators was LeBron James, a seasoned expert in hitting game-winners for Miami, who warmly embraced Messi before his outstanding performance. LeBron was so impressed that he tweeted “Incredible” following Messi’s game-winning moment and even hailed Messi as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in one of his Instagram stories.

LeBron James is enjoying the offseason as the four-time champion made his way to Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami debut. He was seen hugging Messi before the Argentinian superstar scored a 94th-minute game-winning free-kick to secure the victory.
NBA Twitter didn’t disappoint once again, as they trolled LeBron James following the incident. Here are some of the reactions:
LeBron will have his hands full entering the next season, as this might be his last chance at an NBA title. At 39 years old going into the next season, LeBron will have another shot at the championship after he and the Los Angeles Lakers made it to the Western Conference Finals last season. With added depth to their roster, they might make another title run this season.
Several reasons contribute to this possibly being LeBron’s last chance at a championship. Firstly, he will be 39 years old in his 21st NBA season. Secondly, he has expressed his desire to play with his son, Bronny James, who is expected to be a first-round pick in the 2024-25 draft. Additionally, Anthony Davis is expected to seek a big contract extension and a player option after next season. Finally, LeBron’s injury concerns also play a part in the equation.
