LeBron jokingly compares Reaves to Jordan, asking who played better with the flu. The LA Lakers emerged victorious in the first NBA Cup held in Las Vegas, winning the inaugural In-Season Tournament with a 7-0 record. Reaves played a crucial role in securing the trophy, despite being sick before the final game against the Indiana Pacers. After the win, LeBron made a witty comment about Reaves’ performance, drawing parallels to Michael Jordan’s legendary ‘Flu Game’ in the 1997 NBA Finals. While Jordan scored more points, rebounds, assists, and steals in that game, the new NBA tournament was a success and could attract more spectators to the league.
