LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are not having a good season. The big move to acquire Russell Westbrook has not worked according to plan. Moreover, they have been dealing with injuries all season long. On top of that, the fans are starting to turn on the Lakers, especially Westbrook, who has hit back at the fans.
After Friday night’s game, James addressed the reporters. LeBron said he wanted to give Lakers fans “something to cheer about,” when asked about the crowd energy tonight. He said, “The Laker faithful know if bad basketball is being played, and they know if good basketball is being played. They have a right to respond any way they want.”
