The Los Angeles Lakers suffered another defeat on Friday night, losing 101-93 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. This loss marks their fourth in the last five games. The defeat also eliminated the Lakers from the NBA Cup race, leaving fans disappointed and questioning the team’s performance.
Throughout the game, the Lakers struggled, particularly when it came to securing offensive rebounds and limiting points off turnovers. While the Thunder capitalized on these weaknesses, it was LeBron’s effort that caught the attention of fans. Despite the team’s poor performance, LeBron continued to play hard until the final whistle.
However, the final moments of the game sparked outrage among Lakers fans. A social media user shared a video of the last quarter. The video showed LeBron putting less effort into the game. The video quickly went viral, and the comment section was flooded with frustrated reactions from fans.
Many fans took to social media to express their disappointment in LeBron’s leadership, and some even questioned his place in the GOAT conversation. The frustration was palpable as fans vented their feelings, feeling that LeBron’s actions, or lack thereof, were a reflection of his leadership during a crucial moment in the game.
That is their GOAT and he went out to pasture instead of getting back on defense because he couldn’t do a chase down block.

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
