The closest they have had to someone like him is LeBron James, who is now 41 and joined the Lakers at 34.

Nevertheless, after seeing him in action for the length of a game in the G League, Lakers fans couldn't contain their excitement. The poster dunk was a cherry on top.Here's how fans reacted:J.C. @RaiderLaker24LINKAdou Thiero is basically Zion Williamson without the food addiction.𖤍 Oblizy 𖤍 @officialoblizyLINKAdou Thiero… S-Tier athleticism for sureCoach Rome @Rome_BeastLINKbro adou thiero has played one game and he’s already too good for the g leagueDavid Mendez-Yapkowitz @Dave_YapkowitzLINKAdou Thiero is going to be in the dunk contest one day.🏆LakersGuru🏆 @GuruLakersLINKAdou Thiero is clearly the strongest most athletic player on the court and it is not close at all. JJ will not be able to keep this kid off the court for long. Every play he makes captivates you. He’s that athletic. What a nightmare.🏆LakersGuru🏆 @GuruLakersLINKADOU THIERO JUST COMMITTED A CRIME ON ANOTHER HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!Adou Thiero dominates in G League debut with Lakers coach JJ Redick in attendanceAdou Thiero left a lasting impression in his G League debut with Lakers coach JJ Redick in attendance. The second round pick finished with the most points, scoring 19 on 5 of 9 shots. He was 5 of 5 from the free throw line. Thiero added three steals to his box score, while being a plus-minus +1.He showed everything he was known for on numerous scouting reports with regards to his defense, rim pressure and athleticism. At this rate, Thiero might be leaned on as a rotation piece on the Lakers.They need more athleticism and defense around Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and LeBron James, which Adou Thiero boasts. It will be intriguing to see how much faith JJ Redick shows in him.Thiero could replace Dalton Knecht or Gabe Vincent, given the duo's underwhelming performances amid LA's 11-4 run.
