Lakers So Confident, They Sent Their Bench to Play… and Still Won by 30! 😂🏀
Los Angeles, CA – The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off one of the most disrespectful yet hilarious victories in NBA history last night, casually sending their bench squad to handle business—and still blowing out their opponents by 30 points!
Facing a struggling team at Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers’ starters barely broke a sweat before Coach Darvin Ham decided, “You know what? Let’s give the starters an early night off.” By the second quarter, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and D’Angelo Russell were seen chilling on the bench, laughing, and eating popcorn as the Lakers’ reserves took over.
Bench Players Turn Into Prime All-Stars!
What happened next was pure chaos. Players who barely see the court suddenly transformed into superstars:
🔥 Austin Reaves played like prime Kobe, draining threes from the parking lot.
🔥 Rui Hachimura had a dunk so nasty that even LeBron jumped out of his seat.
🔥 Christian Wood blocked so many shots, the opposing team started asking if they could get refunds on their layup attempts.
By halftime, the Lakers were up by 25, and the starters looked more like VIP spectators than players.
LeBron & AD Were Basically Fans
Cameras caught LeBron James and Anthony Davis reacting like NBA Twitter, laughing hysterically as their teammates torched the opposition. At one point, LeBron even grabbed a whiteboard and pretended to coach, drawing up a play that looked like something from a video game.
Meanwhile, D’Angelo Russell was seen checking his phone, possibly updating his fantasy team mid-game.
Opposing Coach: “This is Just Disrespectful”
The opposing coach was visibly frustrated, seen shaking his head as the Lakers’ bench continued to dominate. When asked post-game how it felt to be blown out by a lineup that usually only plays in garbage time, he sighed:
“Man… when you see LeBron laughing on the bench in the second quarter, you know it’s over.”
Fans React: “This Ain’t Even Fair”
NBA fans had a field day on social media:
💬 “Lakers starters took a day off and still won. Must be nice.”
💬 “LeBron looking like a proud dad watching his kids hoop.”
💬 “Bro, the Lakers’ bench just played like the 1996 Bulls.”
💬 “I swear Austin Reaves turns into Steph Curry whenever the game is already over.”
Darvin Ham’s Hilarious Response
After the game, Coach Ham was asked if he planned on playing his starters at all in the second half. His response?
“Nah, they looked too comfortable. Why mess with greatness?”
Should the Lakers Just Rest Their Starters More Often?
With their bench proving they can win games on their own, should the Lakers start giving LeBron & AD more load management days? Maybe next time, they’ll let the waterboy check in too! 🤣
One thing’s for sure—when the Lakers are this good, even their bench squad is a problem for the league.
