THE COURT — LeBron James is the only player in history to win championships with three NBA franchises. He's triumphed in four total championships, been named Finals MVP four times, and has two Olympic gold medals on his mantle. He is third all-time in career scoring, eighth in career assists, and has been selected as an All-Star 17 times.
But he obviously doesn't have a teaching certificate.
Check out this video from the Lakers' recent game against the Nets. During the action, James had some wisdom to share with rookie Austin Reaves.

It's safe to say that Reaves didn't quite catch what LeBron was trying to tell him, and his befuddled expression at the seven-second mark of the video is easily the NBA Reaction of the Year.
To share a little context, Reaves is just 23 years old. At this point in his career, he's played in fewer total games (29) than LeBron has played in NBA Finals games (55). So, it's understandable that he might not be able to pick up on what the King has to say.
I'm sure that if I were in Reaves' place, I'd have a similar reaction.
Despite the disconnect, the Lakers triumphed over the Nets 106-96. And LeBron showed off his non-teaching skills by tallying 33 points, seven rebounds, three steals, and a pair of blocks.
