If you've ever wondered what it's like to watch a sporting event with LeBron James, he provided a brief glimpse of it during his postgame interview following the Los Angeles Lakers' 127-110 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.

In the locker room after the game, James was mostly focused on watching his son, Bronny James, and USC while reporters were trying to ask him questions about the Lakers' performance.

This is almost certainly the most relatable James has ever been. Very few of us have any sort of understanding what it's like to be arguably the best basketball player ever with an obscene amount of money in our financial portfolio.

But all of us have experience not paying attention when people are talking to us because we are yelling obscenities at the television when someone misses a wide-open layup.

Even though the final result didn't go the way LeBron wanted—USC lost 82-67 to No. 12 Arizona—Bronny had one of his best performances of the season. He scored 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting with six assists and five rebounds in a career-high 30 minutes.

Bronny scored a total of two points and was held without a field goal on 14 attempts in the previous three games combined.

LeBron could potentially attend USC's next game in person, as the Lakers have an off-day on Saturday when the Trojans play Arizona State at Desert Financial Arena.
