After Timeless Sports posted a tweet calling James' chalk toss "forever hype," the four-time NBA MVP offered this response:

During his first preseason game with the Los Angeles Lakers last season, James didn't include the toss as part of his chalk routine:

James has gone long stretches without doing the famous toss during his career. He mostly abandoned it during his four years with the Miami Heat and in his second stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Now that the Lakers are reportedly on the verge of announcing the acquisition of Anthony Davis when the new league year begins on July 6, James has a lot to be happy about entering his second season with the team.

It's worth celebrating this joyous occasion by throwing talcum powder in the air before games.
