Despite the Los Angeles Lakers’ cascading losses this season and criticism in the media, the stars of the team are at least spared somewhere. In a short video, influencer Kenny Beacham investigated how the franchise communicated during losses. If you follow the Twitter account of any franchise, you must frequently see the tweet announcing the result of the game that has just ended, with the score highlighted and the photo of a player.
Imagine that the Lakers have lost 43 games this season and that the community managers of the team have never once used the image of LeBron James to illustrate a loss. No more than that of Russell Westbrook orAnthony Davis…
Conversely, of these 43 defeats, Malik Monk may feel targeted even if he has not delivered less effort than his comrades, nor been less good. The former Hornets player has been ‘honoured’ 10 out of 43 times, more than any other player on the team.
Talen Horton-Tucker and Wayne Ellington have been five times, Austin Reaves and Kent Bazemore four, and even Rondo regionwho only played 18 games before moving to Cleveland, found himself on the front line once.
During the victories, on the other hand, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook have been put forward 19 times in total, where Monk, however clutch a few times, has been three times. The former Kentucky fullback had recently explained that there was a culture problem at the Lakers. Maybe what he meant by that was the franchise’s propensity to absolve superstars of any responsibility in the eyes of the fans?

LeBron is badly injured in the ankle, it smells bad for the future
