Very confident throughout the season regarding his Lakers, LeBron James must be disappointed following the recent turn of events. It’s all the more frustrating that the King himself made a promise to his fans, but he couldn’t keep it. It comes back to him today in the face.
It’s not a technical knockout, but it’s not far from it. After another loss to the Mavs this time around, the Lakers dive with a 27-33 record. The playoffs? Undoubtedly out of reach with the significant lead of the Clippers, it will therefore be necessary to fall back on the play-in.
LeBron’s tweet that comes back to him in the face!
Given the hopes of the fans at the start of the season, and even of the players, it would be a huge disappointment, but it is starting to become a reality. Many people lost hope in front of the sad spectacle offered by their team, and even LeBron James can’t do anything about it. He had however promised something else a few weeks ago.
#LakerNation I apologize and I promise we’ll be better! ????????????

LakersNation, I apologize and I promise you we will be better! ????????????
This tweet is over a month old, and without too many surprises for observers, the situation hasn’t really changed. It has even worsened according to StatMuse, which has brought out the balance sheet of the Angelinos since this remarkable exit from the native of Akron. We can easily say it: he did not know how to keep his promise.

Lakers before this tweet: 21-22. The Lakers after: 6-12.
The Lakers got even worse after this LeBron James outing on social media, and there’s no sign of things getting any better. An abacus season for the franchise, which is likely to experience a fairly turbulent summer.
