Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic is a well-known admirer of basketball, often crediting the late Kobe Bryant’s influence on his own journey to success. Ahead of the opening of the Miami Open, Djokovic had the opportunity to visit LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

During his visit, Djokovic took advantage of an empty court and effortlessly recreated LeBron James’ iconic three-point shot. This gesture raises the question: was Djokovic playfully teasing the basketball star, or was it simply a coincidental tribute? Djokovic displayed his basketball prowess by flawlessly executing the shot.

Despite his recent loss at Indian Wells, Djokovic chose not to participate in this year’s Miami Open.

Djokovic’s decision to withdrаw from the Miami Open was expected, especially after his comments following the Indian Wells tournament, suggesting a focus on prioritizing Grand Slam events in his schedule.
