“Thanks for the good times but you’re out” LeBron James gives Russell Westbrook a last handshake as rumors of Lakers exit strengthen


“Thanks for the good times but you’re out” LeBron James gives Russell Westbrook a last handshake as rumors of Lakers exit strengthen

LeBron James and Russell Westbrook

LeBron James and Russell Westbrook along with other stars of the Los Angeles Lakers have decided to not suit up for the games remaining. As the regular season remaining is meaningless for the franchise since they are out of playoff contention. As Phoenix Suns once again wiped them off and sent them out of the picture for the play-in tournament. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook along with Anthony Davis were suppose to lift up the championship this year even before the season started as the media and fans declared them the best just by seeing the signings made. But the reality is very disappointing for the Laker Nation as the team is out of the postseason and most of the blame goes to LeGM for the veteran signings he made. Where in exchange he gave away the young and better core of the team.

The regular season will end soon as only one game remains for the Los Angeles Lakers and then it’s a wrap for them. But still, they don’t even have a general idea regarding the future of their roster. LeBron James has  Bronny James (his son) and Stephen Curry on his list to play alongside with. So there are fair chances of him leaving the Los Angeles Lakers and shifting to a franchise like the Cleveland Cavaliers or any other which can help him get his dream succeed of sharing the court with his son. This year though his duo with Russell Westbrook didn’t even work for a single game. AS the supporting cast of Brodie never stepped up in the clutch and helped the MVP calibre performances of King James to close a game.

Russell Westbrook was on the radar of the front office for most of the season as he didn’t really live up to the expectations the fans and the franchise had from him. He was out of his former MVP form and was also not hooping like Mr. Triple Double. But still, he got himself many highlight-worthy moments and unfortunately in the end, he is the scapegoat blamed by most around the Lakers for their season failure. As of now, he trends on the internet with LeBron James for probably their last handshake as teammates.

Recently, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena. The meaningless game favored the Los Angeles Lakers. As the final box score adding a W for the Lakers stands at 120-101 and their record is of 32 wins and 49 losses at .395 and they are out of the postseason. Early in the game, LeBron James was seen shaking hands with everyone on the bench to be more perfect everyone he made the front office to sign. Russell was also on the handshake list and had the most firm one as fans think this would be their last handshake as teammates at Crypto.com Arena.

The video clip of them shaking hands stands viral on the internet. There are thousands of reactions to it. As fans reacting to it troll and criticize the duo. Russell Westbrook plans on resigning with the team next year (using his player option) but nothing is fixed and many believe the franchise and he’ll together find a new home for him. As he is not the one the Lakers need and especially the fans. Find some of many such reactions posted by fans on social media platforms here below:
