In one of the conversations between Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) and Tony Stark (played by RDJ), Tony, who is a father/teacher figure to Peter, tells him that “There’s a lil gray area in there and that’s where you operate.” Reminding about his limitations and responsibilities, and all this goes down in the 2017 movie, Spiderman: Homecoming, which was a massive hit amongst audience.

The Lakers also welcomed back their star player Anthony Davis, who was out with an injury since a long time, and looked in sync right away also slamming down a lob pass from LeBron James.

On the other side, James Harden had to lead the team entirely as Kevin Durant was out due to a sprained left knee ligament, while Kyrie Irving was still out due to his unvaccinated status in New York.

When asked if Harden was irritated with the Nets’ team, he said “Listen, I don’t know about any reports” and went on to say “Of course I’m frustrated because we’re not healthy, there’s a lot of inconsistency for whatever reason. Injuries, COVID, whatever you want to call it, so yeah, it is frustrating.

I think everyone in this organization is frustrated because we are better than our record is and we should be on the way up. So that’s all it is.” While all the fun goes on between the teammates, it is also important to see how the revival of Anthony Davis and the consistently great performances by LeBron James change the Lakers’ fate, how Russel Westbrook is able to bring about change in his strategies, and how Lakers entirely as a team are able to move forward in the league with hopes of remaining in contention for the championship.
