Tuesday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets had a viral moment near its end.
With about two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the camera focused on LeBron James communicating with rookie Austin Reaves about a play. Reaves’ confused face at the end was the part that went viral (h/t: @JacobRude):

LeBron reacted to the clip on his Instagram, comparing it to Iron Man and Spider-Man’s relationship from Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” when Tony Stark gave advice to Peter Parker:
Don’t do anything I would do. And definitely don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. There’s a lil gray area in there and that’s where you operate.
