Lakers' LeBron James Calls Out 'Haters' in IG Photos, 'Just a Kid at Recess'

Andrew PetersMar 2, 2026

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is still having fun in Year 23.

The 41-year-old James called out his "haters" on Instagram, saying he's "just a kid at recess enjoying his fav playground" after a win over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

James has made it a point to enjoy every moment this season, noting that his time in the league could come to an end soon.

"I'm just trying to take everything in, not take the moments for granted," James said in January. "Because it could be [my last season]. I obviously haven't made a decision on the future, but it very well could be."

While James may be the oldest player in the league, he's still a valuable contributor for the Lakers, putting up 21.6 points, 7.0 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game this year. He posted 24 points, five assists, two steals and a block in Sunday's 128-104 win over Sacramento.

The win helped the Lakers improve to 36-24 after a recent rough patch, but they're still sitting in sixth place in the West, a half-game back from the fifth-place Denver Nuggets.

Obviously, Los Angeles has title aspirations this season, and a team led by James, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves is more than capable of a championship run, though the Lakers will have to face a stacked Western Conference to do so.

In the meantime, James will continue enjoying the game like he's a "kid at recess."
