LeBron James showed up, dominated the Jazz, then sat down and upset the Jazz announcers!

The Los Angeles Lakers are basically ending “load management” practice before the entire NBA’s eyes. Instead of resting their stars for a whole game, they just blow teams off the floor and rest them in quarters. LeBron James has his own ways of dealing with the controversy that is hindering the NBA. Lake Show Life knows the narrative, he does too apparently.

Well LeBron James did not break any records in this game, but he broke the wills of the Utah Jazz. The Lakers offense was orchestrated like a symphony with the ball in the King’s hands.

The Lakers actually ran this play twice, to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope with the exact same result. A lay-up with the Jazz defense looking totally fooled. LeBron James had yet another double-double scoring 20 points and dishing out 12 assists.

However, LeBron James did have his input on the comedy act in Utah. Something that Shaquille O’Neal will be bringing up real soon on Inside the NBA on TNT.

Even though the box scores won’t show it, this was one of the cleaner, more efficient games for LeBron. After suffering through a stretch of games with turnovers, James only turned the ball over once. A 12-to-1 assist/turnover ratio like that will turn heads like the Utah Jazz did every time the Lakers ran a backdoor play.
