LeBron James and Anthony Davis dance it out for LeBron’s 35th

Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis had a great time celebrating The King’s 35th birthday on Monday night.

While many teams in the NBA were on the court on Monday night, LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers squad were celebrating the 35th birthday of LeBron. James spent most of the day sharing stories on his Instagram as well as getting a workout in with Anthony Davis. And after hitting the gym, both of the Lakers stars had a great time drinking and dancing.

Later on in the evening after most of the games in the NBA had ended, James shared scenes from what appeared to be a formal 35th birthday party as James, Davis and other Lakers were in black tie outfits.

Jared Dudley came with the full out black-on-black look, which he shared on his twitter.

From the looks of LeBron’s story, James, Davis and Quinn Cook were some of the Lakers in attendance and a post from Troy Daniels showed that Kyle Kuzma, Avery Bradley, and 2Chainz also came through.

It’s unclear just who else was there but it appeared to be a full team affair. And the best part of it all is that the Lakers have a full day to get right in the gym before hosting the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis laugh way through birthday workout

Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis got some work in but also had a lot of fun for LeBron’s birthday workout.

LeBron James has a party planned for his 35th birthday, which happens to include a day off and another day before their next game on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. But it wouldn’t be another day for LeBron James without a workout and he got in a workout with his Lakers superstar partner Anthony Davis, who also looked to be having a party himself in the weight room for his teammates birthday. The two continued to display the chemistry that has helped make the Lakers one of the favorites for the 2020 NBA Championship on LeBron’s birthday.

James and Davis jested to each other last night after a win over Dallas and they continued to mess around even while getting their work in.

According to James’ Instagram, he brought in his birthday by hanging out with his wife and kids late into the night before getting to his workout later today. He also told reporters he’s planning on having a party and given the way the Lakers have been a close unit, it would be a surprise to see highlights from the party without Davis and other members of the Lakers squad. After two wins and still holding the best record in the West, there are plenty of reasons to enjoy a rare night off.

Ranking LeBron’s best birthday performances of his NBA career

To celebrate LeBron’s birthday, we’ve ranked the best born day performances of his career. James has appeared in an NBA game seven times on his birthday and averaged 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

LeBron James was born 35 years ago today. Throughout his three-and-a-half decades on earth, James has appeared in an NBA game seven times on his birthday. During those seven games, he’s averaged 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists. There were two games–in 2014 and 2018–where his team played on his birthday but James was inactive due to injury.

After defeating the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers will not play against until New Years Day against the Phoenix Suns. But to celebrate LeBron’s birthday in the meantime, we’ve ranked the best born day performances of his career.


No. 7: December 30, 2003 (19 year-old birthday)

LeBron Stats: 22 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists 

The day LeBron James turned 19 years old he recorded a double-double against Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers. James finished his first birthday extravaganza with the Cleveland Cavaliers by pouring in 22 points and grabbing 10 rebounds to go along with four assists. His scoring total was a game-high as Jermaine O’Neal paced Indiana with 21. But James and the Cavaliers would lose by three despite 17 points and 11 rebounds in support of the King from a young Carlos Boozer.

No. 6: December 30, 2013 (29 year-old birthday)

LeBron Stats: 26 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds

LeBron James has turned in one monster performance after another on his birthday. That’s why a 26-point, 10-assist effort during a three-point win on the road qualifies as his sixth-best born day performance. In a matchup with the Denver Nuggets, James shot 53% from the field while helping his Miami Heat to a 97-94 win. Chris Bosh shot 8-of-12 to score 17 points for Miami in the victory while Ty Lawson added 26 for Denver in defeat.
