It was bizarre to see superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers celebrating by passing a blunt to Christian Wood and stomping on it before pretending to smoke it. It was more surprising because James had already taken a layup shot.

Uniquely, towards the end of the second quarter of the Lakers’ Sunday night home match with the Houston Rockets in Crypto.com Arena, the following event transpired. He first stomped on something, looked at his hand, shot it using a finger gun, and then followed by a smoking gesture. The four-time NBA champion seemed to hold the smoke inside him for he was so absorbed with the smoke party that his checks were puffing up.
