Watching Lance Stephenson Bring Back Showtime Has Me So Excited For The Lakers "Meme Team"

BORN READYYYYYYYY! Did Magic Johnson and Mark Jackson have a kid or something? Nope, that’s just Lance Stephenson turning NBA preseason games into And 1 mixtapes. I’ll admit that while the Lakers signing every misfit toy in the NBA to 1-year deals around LeBron James, all I thought about were the blogs that could come from things that had nothing to do with the actual sport of basketball. Michael Beasley and JaVale McGee dropping quotes as their brains orbit Neptune, Rajon Rondo threatening to put Lonzo Ball through a table before ghosting on the team for a week, Lance Stephenson doing Lance Stephenson things both to his team and the opposing team.

All that stuff is still in play mind you. But after watching Lance put some lingerie on the deck and shimmy his dick off, I have officially become excited for the Lakers basketball team. I bet LeBron knew there was no way even he could lead the Lakers past this Warriors team, so instead he assembled what could be the greatest League Pass team ever. You want to talk about MJ vs. LeBron debates, can Michael Jordan ever say he unleashed the most entertaining group of non-animated misfits on a basketball court? Yeah he brought Dennis Rodman into the Bulls circus, which as KFC talked about on Storyboards, changed the sports world forever. But LeBron has multiple Charlie Kelly wildcards playing in a ton of nationally televised games now that they are all in the LA spotlight together. Every Lakers game is now a Must Watch for the highlights, the lowlights, and whatever else the meme team gives us. You gotta lump that into LeBron’s legacy when having the GOAT discussion after he retires. In the meantime though, keep stuntin’ on them Lance.

Also, I need Lakers fans to embrace the ridiculousness of all this as well since they are some of the most giffable fans in the league.
