The Los Angeles Lakers once again lost to the Sacramento Kings to drop the season series 0-4 to their California rivals. And LeBron James took this somewhat severely. While his emotions were in check during the post-game conference, he reportedly couldn’t help letting it all out during his drive back home. After landing in LA, James presumably jumped in his car and cued up some R&B. Now, how many of us aren’t guilty of doing this? King James even put that up in his Instagram Stories. Another thing that caught fans’ attention was James’ gloves for the drive.

While the netizens and James’ Instagram fans reacted hilariously to his ‘sad emo teen’ rage, former NBA player Gilbert Arenas has a special suggestion to James’ teammate Anthony Davis.

Gilbert Arenas and Co. didn’t hold back on The King

In a clip from his show titled “Gilbert Arenas’ S*VAGE Reaction To LeBron’s Sad Drive Home,” Agent Zero said, I just know when you got him listen to slow music, AD (Anthony Davis) you just got to do better.” 

Other members present in the room also agreed with Agent Zero. After dishing out valuable advice to Davis to elevate his game, Agent Zero asked his co-host Josiah Johnson to share his experience of dealing with defeat. While the challenges are inevitable, Arenas joked about how he could relate to James.

He stated that while he wasn’t mature either while reeling with defeat, he didn’t make it public like the Lakers’ star. “Yeah, all the time,” he said about listening to slow songs after getting beaten by the opponent team. He further added, “We just never filmed it.”

Another member present on the show, Brandon Jennings, added his side of the story too. Unlike James, he had a rather cheap way to deal with his grief of losing to Derrick Rose. Talking about the gloves, Jennings shared, “The last time I went home with gloves like that is when Derrick Rose hit the game went on me. I turned all the lights off in my house damn I told everybody don’t come in.”

While the crew continued to humorously troll the Lakers champ for his unusual Instagram story, Jennings’ way of dealing with the defeat also wasn’t different.

Whether James’ reaction has anything to do with the loss to the Kings or not, it might remain a mystery. What is your take on this matter? Let us know in the comments section below.
