Jayson Tatum, Dejounte Murray and Isaiah Thomas participated in the game. Former NBA player Jamal Crawford pulled some strings from his time in the league to arrange the game.

The stats and numbers are unknown as the game was not complete. However, LeBron James put on a show for the fans as he combined with Tatum for a couple of alley-oop dunks.

Repercussions of LeBron James' new deal

LeBron James agreeing to a two-year extension with the LA Lakers has consequences for the franchise. This decision affects their ability to sign a marquee free agent next summer. Kyrie Irving and Khris Middleton headline the 2023 free agency class.

James' new two-year deal will earn close to $100 million over those two years. Had James taken a pay cut as James Harden did with Philadelphia, the Lakers could pursue one of these marquee free agents.

The Lakers are forced to surround King James and Anthony Davis with role players. However, this strategy worked for them during the 2019-20 championship-winning season.

Another aspect of this new deal is that the LA Lakers could suddenly find themselves without AD or LeBron James in 2024. Davis' contract runs until 2025. the All-Star could opt out and walk away from the franchise in 2024. James could also opt out early.
