“No wonder he has taught Ben Simmons” Lakers fans left devastated as LeBron James ignores game-winning reverse layup to lose game in OT against Rockets

LeBron James

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers once again proved how consistent they are on being inconsistent when it comes to winning games. Especially against the teams which are an easy competition for them on the paper. The veteran roster of the Los Angeles Lakers which was hand-picked by LeBron James himself isn’t living up to the expectations they drew during the signings. The supporting cast of Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis and Carmelo Anthony often fall short to add up any value which results in a losing record being maintained by the team.
