Stephen Curry, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron james
Stephen Curry and LeBron James have been teammates for the past two All-Star Games and their chemistry has been nothing short of exciting and productive for the team that they’ve played in together. LeBron who paired up with Curry again in the All-Star game held in Cleveland this year surely loved the game as his fellow teammate dropped a 50-point play including a record breaking 16-3-pointers in a single performance which is nothing short of a dream for LeBron keeping in mind the kind of performance his Lakers’ teammates have had throughout the season where he has had to carry them all on his shoulder.
The Lakers who have struggled this season to the extent that it seems almost impossible for the team to win the playoffs, or rather even get themselves into the playoffs suffered yet another blow against the LA Clippers as LeBron James seemed disappointed in the decision made by Carmelo Anthony to shoot a 30ft 3-pointer with quite some time left on the clock which would probably get them the much-needed win. LeBron who passed the ball to Carmelo thinking he would perform like Steph was probably disappointed, and that’s the least we can say.
The Lakers’ tragedy doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon looking at the state that the team is in right now and therefore, it is bound to happen that people make fun of the team and their decision-making skills as Carmelo gives away the win on a worst choke on purpose. Let us now take a look at the incident and figure out what happened in this sequence as Melo let down the Lakers and specifically LeBron in one of his worst shot attempts.
LeBron James let down by Carmelo Anthony after expecting a Stephen Curry level performance from him
LeBron James was disappointed, and it did show in his facial expressions as the player started calculating the different options, he could’ve chosen instead of passing the ball to Melo who cost the Lakers a much-needed victory over the Clippers, who were tough as nails in the match and didn’t seem to be giving up at any point.

LeBron James who passed the ball to a 37-year-old Carmelo Anthony after a brilliant shot made by the Clippers’ Marcus Morris probably thought that Melo would make the shot or at least pass it to someone else in order to get them a 1-point lead which would give them the dub. Instead, what actually happened is that LeBron consumed quite a lot of time before giving a supposedly “bad” pass to Anthony, who then instead of passing it to anyone else, took a 30-footer 3-point attempt, eventually missing as everyone from the Lakers looked in disappointment at Melo first and then James, who passed it to him.
Watch:
The Lakers lost the opportunity to bring themselves in the lead with just 2.2 seconds remaining on the clock and eventually lost the match which easily could’ve been won by them if not for this sequence at the very end moment which was a Stephen Curry level expectation of LeBron James from any of his Lakers’ teammates.
Lakers vs Clippers, 105-102
The Lakers vs Clippers match which ended in a 3-point victory for the Clippers was nothing less than a complete failure of planning and understanding for the former, which has already been struggling to find form and take themselves ahead in the league in order to even remain in contention for the playoffs, the chances of which, seem very narrow at this point for the Lakers.
In a disappointing performance by the team, James led the way for the Lakers with 21 points, followed by Anthony and Westbrook who scored 18 points each in an inadequate effort.
Watch:
Terence Mann led the way for the Clippers who had an overall performance in the game with 19 points, followed by Luke Kennard who scored 18 points and then Reggie Jackson who scored 17 points in an effort which was enough to get them the dub against the Lakers.
