The Los Angeles Lakers made some incredible changes in the last moments of the trade deadline. The most controversial players who were constantly mentioned in the trade rumors have finally packed their bags to move. Two point guards, Patrick Beverley, and Russell Westbrook, seen as the least productive signings this year, have left the team. Players like D’Angelo Russell, who feels he could have a massive impact on the team, have found their way back to LA. Along with him is another trader named Mo Bamba, who has arrived in exchange for Pat Bev and is already making a headline.
The two young, ambitious players arrived in the Purple and Gold, intending to lift the team to the top 10. And the two even share the same passion for playing with their idols, Anthony Davis and LeBron James. Mo Bamba has even stepped further into the excitement to rename the duo with a special name. And the fans are enjoying it and finding his nickname to the superstar duo hilarious. In the meantime, LeBron James is enjoying his time out at Super Bowl because of his foot injury.
Why Mo Bamba Claimed The Lakers Duo As The 3-6 Mafia?
Los Angeles became the champs in 2020 when the two forces of nature met together to reckon the league. LeBron James signed for the Lakers in 2018, and Davis came along the next year to make the most dynamic duo. However, injuries struck them in their path and delayed the title for one more year. After winning the title in 2020, LA has not been the same because of their bad decisions, injuries, and faith. And the 29-year-old center is so susceptive to the injury that he has missed half of the total games in two straight years.
On a good day, when LeBron James and Anthony Davis have one of the healthier days could mean doomsday for other teams. However, as the 38-year-old is aging like a fine wine, he has lost some ability to lead a team individually on his back. But the two have done an incredible job in keeping the Lakers alive in the absence of each other. The two display impressive stats to lead their team even after suffering injuries and missing quite a few games. LA’s superstar duo is the only one after Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal to win the finals with 25+ average points in 2020.
Mamba uttered the word’ 3-6 mafia’ while talking about AD and LeBron and making his place in the team. Mamba talked about continuity in the games and said, “it’s easy when we’ve got guys who are that far into their careers.” However, LeBron James is still questionable for the next games because of his foot injury. Ham says there is no significant damage, but he has missed two games in a row.
