LeBron James Thrashed for Laughing After Timberwolves’ Big Win Over Clippers
Follow Us
The turbulent season of the Los Angeles Lakers is over. LeBron James may have had one of his best scoring years, but that amounted to nothing as he missed the playoffs for only the fourth time in 19 seasons.
Despite being out of the playoffs, critics and trolls have still targeted LeBron. And one such tweet by LeBron led to the further mockery of the King and the Lakers.
The Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Los Angeles Clippers in the play-in tournament on Tuesday. The Wolves won 109-104 in a hard-fought game and secured the 7th seed in the playoffs and their players were ecstatic. Maybe a little too overzealous in their celebration.
