Video Of Lakers Players Talking Back To Fans Goes Viral
The Los Angeles Lakers are dealing with too much at the moment. They couldn’t even come any near the New Orleans Pelicans and finished the night with a 123-95 loss. It was another defeat in their column. There’s more. Lakers players were seen talking back to fans who booed them during the game and the video is viral. The situation was so bad that Jeanie Buss left the game.
As you may be guessing, Russell Westbrook didn’t think twice before firing back at fans. LeBron James and Trevor Ariza did the same. Fans crossed the red line and it was really nasty. The Lakers got stuck in the middle of nowhere and things went down the hill. All those injuries and COVID cases destroyed players’ chances to win a title.
? this is what it’s come to for the lakers…. https://t.co/W46rBJExkf

“Remember when [LeBron] was fake drinking during game stoppage with fans?” asked another user. “Ahh It was all good just 5 years ago.”

Lakers players don’t mind the situation with fans despite viral videos
Westbrook isn’t really worried about these boos. Fans have nothing on him and he’d never pay attention to outside noise. He delivered a NSFW response during the postgame press conference with the media.
These boos added fuel to the fire. LeBron may leave the Lakers sooner than expected. He is still under contract but his team struggles to make a move. This is not what LeBron signed up for. Although Rich Paul said the situation is fine between Klutch Sports and the Lakers, watching this game was like putting salt to an injury. Let’s see how this ends. Buss is not happy. Obviously.
