Lakers Official Reveals Nature of Heated Argument Between LeBron James and Phil Handy

LeBron James and Phil Handy sure know how to attract everybody’s attention. They are both super competitive and of course, this competitiveness often leads to cool arguments. Sort of. LeBron is the best player in the NBA, and everyone knows it really well, including Handy.

That’s exactly what happened during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers ended up winning the game, but this wasn’t the “biggest moment” of the night. LeBron had an argument with the Lakers assistant coach. What were they arguing about? LeBron was really frustrated, and Handy didn’t feel like discussing the topic. So, what happened that night?

Team official revealed that everything is fine between the four-time NBA champion and Handy.

LeBron James and Phil Handy are fine

It all happened when the team was making their way to the locker room at halftime. LeBron wasn’t happy and went to the locker room. He met Handy and wanted to discuss something.

NBA players are always frustrated when things don’t go right or don’t go the way they planned. LeBron is a superstar and he knows his job really well. Age has nothing on him and he is always ready to improve his performance.

King James entered the game averaging 28.5 points per game. He plays at a high level and this elite performance has helped him win a lot of games. The Lakers entered the regular season as the favorite to win the title, but things went terribly wrong. Players tested positive for COVID and some of them suffered terrible injuries. Frank Vogel entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols as well.

It was a rather unfortunate situation for the team but they are back on track now. The Lakers won three of the last four games and we can easily say they broke the spell. We have a good feeling about the next few weeks. LA made a few changes for the greater good. Rajon Rondo left the team and joined the Cleveland Cavaliers. LA has enough room to get a new player. Stanley Johnson maybe?
