When it comes to the Los Angeles sports scene there's not many teams bigger than the Los Angeles Lakers. However, hockey has come along way since the Wayne Gretzky trade to the the Kings. But clearly not enough after the most recent interview with NBA star LeBron James.

The Basketball Legend was doing an interview about how great the Los Angeles area is when it comes to sports, except one thing, James forgot the name of the hockey team he shares the building with:

«I would love to at some point down the road own an NBA franchise, (and) to be able to bring a winning franchise to a city,» James said. «Vegas is a really cool city, they're doing some great things in sports these days. Obviously you've seen what the Aces are doing, how you've got the Raiders there, you've got the Kings (sic) there, the hockey team."

James quickly followed that up, checking with reporters for clarification on the hockey team. When the press responded by correcting him that the local NHL team in Las Vegas was actually the Vegas Golden Knights, LeBron's one-word response was perhaps even more discouraging. Who?»


The future NBA Hall of Famer eventually jogged his memory enough to recall that the Kings were actually in Los Angeles, noting that there are «two Kings in L.A.»


It was actually hilarious how stunned James looked when he legit seemed to have no clue who the Los Angeles Kings were.

The Los Angeles Kings would also comment on James forgetting The Kings exists saying:

Some roommates forget to do the dishes.
Some roommates forget to take out the trash.
Others forget you live there too 🥲


We get it not everyone is a hockey fan but come on King James you literally share the same arena as the Kings.
