Novak Djokovic has been working on his jumper, and LeBron James has taken notice.
Djokovic, the No. 1 men's tennis player, issued a tongue-in-cheek Twitter challenge to James on Saturday as he showed off his hoops handles and hit nothing but net from the elbow.
Am I ready for a 1:1 @KingJames? 💪🏼 pic.twitter.com/78MwBZaAiS

The four-time NBA MVP seemed impressed and deemed Djokovic ready for a one-on-one.
Ha! I’m going to say I think you are!! Beautiful follow-thru on that shot buddy! 💪🏾🙏🏾👑 https://t.co/fMUocbVMRL
