LeBron James showed Matthew Stafford love during the Lakers win
With Stafford court side, James did in fact put on a show with his 56 points. This was the kind of outing that shut up all of his haters. Not even Skip Bayless could come after James, as he reminded people of why he’s arguably the GOAT.
Meanwhile for Stafford, he continues to live his best life after helping the Rams take home the Lombardi Trophy during his first campaign with the team. He’s going to enjoy his offseason before his prep to try and go back-to-back will begin.
As part of his time off, Stafford is able to head to the Staples Center to watch James be as electric as can be. Who knows, maybe this game is exactly what the Lakers need to go on a serious run. With that win, LA is now 28-35 on the year.
The team is currently on the outside looking in for the playoffs, but there’s still plenty of time left to grab a postseason spot. James will be ready to do whatever is needed to make sure the Lakers can sneak in.
