LeBron James
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are moving towards another terrible season. To top it all, now King James is getting humbled up by the young guys seems like he has lost his respectable spot. As he’s not able to lead his team to any wins so far this season. LeBron James recently got shut downed in a respectful manner by the Denver Nuggets forward, Bruce Brown Jr.
It happened after the 4× NBA champion decided to talk trash to the former Brooklyn Nets’ star. Recently, the Denver Nuggets hosted the Los Angeles Lakers at Ball Arena and handed out them their fourth straight loss. Moreover, the team is now maintaining a 0-4 record. It’s the second time in LeBron James’ career when he’s having a 0-4 record (the first time was in 2003-04).
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were nothing, but speechless watching Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets go to work and win it all against them. As they were still struggling while shooting the ball and played terribly with no good defense. As the Joker got 31 points, 9 assists and 13 rebounds. LeBron James was also frustrated as he was trash-talking the young rival forward, Bruce Brown Jr.
Bruce Brown Jr sarcastically slams LeBron James, Lakers’ game plan
But it didn’t age well for LeBron as he didn’t just lose the game at 99-110 but also got clapped back by Bruce in the game itself. As reported by Nuggets’ reporter, Harrison Wind the Lakers were letting Bruce Brown Jr. shoot three-pointers while calling him a “shift guy” and when he made some in the first quarter, LeBron James started to talk trash to him.
But it didn’t end there as Bruce Brown Jr. who contributed with 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 assists while drilling 4 out of 6 attempted three-pointers clapped back at LeBron James for being a taking mouth. And, while doing so the former Nets’ star said: “Your game plan ain’t working, sir.”
That’s some respectful disrespect for LeBron James who had a tough night against the Nuggets which were led by the two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. As he contributed only with 19 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds and 1 steal with 8 big turnovers.
Can LeBron James still lead the Los Angeles Lakers across?
LeBron James is one of the greatest players to ever set a foot on a basketball court. And, he has the potential to lead any team to the NBA Finals or the playoffs at least. But the story hasn’t been the same with the Los Angeles Lakers as the team is just not able to find their way and is still confused with the roles and efforts.
Also, now everyone around knows it’s not Russell Westbrook who is to be blamed. But it’s the whole team as everyone is playing some terrible basketball. It’s high time for the front office to wake up and get some shooters or guys who can be trusted with the ball while they also play some defense, or another year of LeBron James will be wasted.
The BIG 3 of the team has to pick a rhythm and build some good chemistry around it while improving their much-needed shooting skills. And, if they fail to do so then it’s nothing but another terrible season for the franchise.
