When the Lakers were down to the Bulls by twenty points early in this game, I had visions in my head of an epic LeBron meltdown in the locker room after the game. And when I say “visions”, these were more like “fantasies”. I was fantasizing about all the stuff LeBron would say/do to his useless teammates.
First thing, I bet LeBron would say as he walked into the locker room, “there’s ass on the menu tonight and it ain’t my own.” I don’t know exactly what that means, but it totally sounds like something LeBron would say, does it not? When nobody responded to LeBron, he would call out Tyson Chandler for failing to be a leader both on the court and in the locker room. Then he would call out Brandon Ingram for being clotted to death. Then he would call out Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for not being productive enough, and for wearing a headband when LeBron is the only one on the team who gets to wear headbands.
It’s too bad that the Lakers actually ended up winning this game, because I would bet real-life currency that some or all of the things listed above would’ve totally happened. Now, the most devastating thing that LeBron can say to KCP is, “You showed up for once. Good Job.”
