The Los Angeles Lakers continuously lose their grip over their chance of qualifying for the playoffs. They managed to win a game after making a four-game losing streak. But winning a game here and there won\’t make their case strong until they consistently win every game they come across. Meanwhile, LeBron James is rolling the dice with his consistent performance. Even though the team does not qualify, King James will definitely secure the top spot for the All-time scoring in the league.
LeBron James Deleted His Tweet From Last Year
The 18-time All-star has been a remarkable athlete throughout his career of 20 years in the NBA. His career trajectory could be explained with a simple sentence about whichever team he played. LeBron never missed a playoff until last year. The Lakers have surely taken the best baller on their team to ruin his last few years of professional basketball. And when he missed the playoffs last year, LeBron James tweeted that he would never miss the playoffs again. However, when the Lakers are having yet another unfortunate season, the tweet from the Lakers forward is nowhere to be found.
Everyone thought LeBron James could leave LA for another team when the tweet surfaced on the internet. But it looks like all hopes of that happening died with the tweet on Twitter. The downfall of the Lakers began at the start of the season. The Purple and Gold lost their first five games to finally pull one league win. A team with the best and highest-paid athlete should not put their bar so low at the start of the season. However, Anthony Davis lifted the spirits with his monstrous performance in the absence of King James. But even that did not last long because of his likeliness to injure himself and miss most games.
James Afraid Of Becoming Laugh Material
LeBron James deleted the tweet recently in the midst of the Christmas holiday. The sources suggest that the Lakers forward deleted the tweet after losing the game against the Mavericks on Christmas day. Many fan pages communicate that the 37-year-old does not want to make a meme out of his tweets. It makes sense, as the Lakers are stuck this season with no way out. Even though Hollywood still has time to do something about the season, the chance is very slim.
The Lakers are stuck in a downward spiral, and the only way out looks like a lucky trade. But before making any decision about the players, the front office will have to choose between this season or the future. Otherwise, the Lakers will just be thread hanging needlessly in the air. Meanwhile, LeBron James is struggling to turn up one more title to improve his legacy before retiring. It will be an auspicious moment to farewell the game with one last title to his well-endowed career in the NBA.
