He continued: "Jordan was my idol when I was a kid, and the reason I wore the No. 23 jersey was because of him.

It’s a huge honor for me, especially for a kid coming from a place like mine.”

James' 30-point key shot in the game was a signature left-wing turnaround fadeaway jumper, which happened to be one of Jordan's classic moves in his career. James revealed that this was no coincidence.

James explained: "Jordan's fadeaway was more to the left shoulder, and mine was to the other side, but these were two masters in their respective fields, constantly training and refining their moves until they were almost undefendable. That's hard work and The result of dedication.”

James further added: "I watched Jordan a lot and noticed that he was able to keep his balance even on fadeaway jump shots. So as my career progressed, I tried to be like him."
