LeBron James has come out and revealed that he has been bedridden for the last three days before he lined up for the Los Angeles Lakers against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the New Orleans Pelicans in overtime in what was a very closely contested affair until the final buzzer. While the Lakers got off to a better start, the Pelicans came into the game with time and looked like winning the clash until the very final seconds – when the Lakers pulled out a moment of individual brilliance to level the scores.

With only seconds left on the clock, the Lakers were trailing the Pelicans by three points and needed somebody to come up with the brilliance that they needed to stay in the game. And when the hour came, so did the man – as Matt Ryan came up with one of the best three-pointers one can ever see in crunch time, as he found the bucket from range right at the stroke of the buzzer.

LeBron says he was in bed the past 3 days

"I've been better. Today was the first day I got out of bed since Sunday night after the game. I missed the Halloween party without my guys on Monday. … Soon as I leave here I'm going back to bed for sure."

Even though it was a great collective effort to win the game, the Lakers’ talisman LeBron James did not have a great game by his standards. LeBron failed to make any of his attempted three-pointers in an underwhelming performance, although he later revealed that he has been sick for a while now.
