Get used to this Lakers fans. There will be a lot of slow NBA news days!
Lake Show Life just broke down two months worth of NBA news in the second paragraph of the first page. Sadly, that list of news cannot be recycled to TV and radio broadcast stations.
NBA writers (Lake Show Life included!) cannot meet the 300 minimum word requirement or keep any of your interest to come back stating those facts every day. Our job is to report, but more importantly, entertain you with interesting sports content.
That’s just what Ric Bucher did.
Speak for Yourself has to fill hours of sports content from somewhere that will draw attention to their show. If LeBron James stans get mad over what they see on social media, they watch the show to bash it.
Welcome to television promotion 101.
LeBron James has been broken during his career (Boston and Golden State) when all was lost, but this narrative won’t fly at all. LeBron James does know that his time to get another ring in the purple and gold is running short. Canceling the season will do more harm than good.
Is James a savvy guy that likes to control narratives in the media? Sure. But he is not powerful enough to control an entire league by himself. Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell are on the shortlist with that type of influence.
But for every Ric Bucher that bashes LeBron James, you have Shannon Sharpe that will build him right back up.
LeBron James is the greatest basketball player to ever dribble a basketball and play in the 70+ year history of the NBA. That's FACT. pic.twitter.com/w1vsprB7DN
