How does a team start out a season 0-5 just to get even MORE embarrassing after their first win?

How does a team pull that off when they’re an iconic and legendary brand?

The Los Angeles Lakers sure know the formula.

Nope, they instead used the moment to celebrate like they just won the NBA Finals. It was just one big party.

They’re solid on the defensive side of the ball, granted, but on the offensive side, “LeBron and those boys” (in the words of Stephen A. Smith) are absolute garbage.

On top of that, the play of Russell Westbrook is atrocious. Yeah, LeBron is doing his thing as expected, as well as Anthony Davis, but Russell Westbrook … It’s just bad. (RELATED: LeBron Teams Up With Amazon For Literally The Worst Idea In The History Of Sports)

And the fact that it was centered around Westbrook … Is Ham unintentionally and subliminally admitting that Westbrook is trash? Because you could easily take it that way. It’s just sad.

The Los Angeles Lakers really went from Kobe and Shaq to this…
