Fans were quick to bring up NBA legends Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan stating that you would never here either of those legends say something along these lines.
The Lakers will be fighting for their playoff lives in Game 4 back at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday as they try to avoid losing 12 straight games to the Nuggets.
LeBron wasn’t the only Laker stirring up conversation following the Game 3 loss.
D’Angelo Russell got blasted for his poor shooting performance (zero points on 0-7 shooting) and his decision to eat snacks on the bench instead of joining the team huddle.
It’s a tough go right now for Laker Nation.
