There’s no matching to the Clippers fanbase. And they are getting out of hand against their arch-rival Los Angeles Lakers. It has not come to LeBron James to face the heat from the Clippers fans after his teammate Anthony Davis got it firsthand.
The brutal troll came from the Los Angeles Clippers fan wall while they witnessed the Lakers cruise them for 122-97. LeBron led the Lakers brigade while wrapping up their annual Grammy road trip on a high note. While James was making free throws, the Clippers fans were seen trimming his hairline with a clipper/shaver on the big screen.

Although it was obvious of an agitated fanbase as Bron blasted 26 points while coming just shy of a triple-double. He had all that with nine assists and eight rebounds in a mere 31 minutes. Even though Luka Doncic is still recovering from a calf injury, the Lakers hit a season-high of 10 games over .500 at 29-19.
Historically, the Lakers have struggled against their crosstown rivals, but this time, they came out firing. With all eyes on James, it opened up opportunities for others, allowing teammates like Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura to shine. Reaves, in particular, capitalized on mismatches, scoring 20 points and dishing out nine assists. While Hachimura added a strong offensive punch with 20 points of his own.

Now that the team is welcoming Luka Doncic in a blockbuster trade, rumor has him as the next target. Many fans and analysts began to question whether James would remain committed to the Lakers as they shifted their focus toward Doncic.
During a postgame conference after the Lakers’ victory over the Clippers, James firmly dismissed his trade rumors.
“What’s wrong with that?. If I had any concerns I would have waived my no-trade clause and got up out of here. I’m here right now, I’m committed to the Lakers organization. I’m here to help Luka and Maxi make the transition as smooth as possible. [Markieff Morris] has been here before, so he already knows what we’re about, we won a championship with him in 2020, so I ain’t worried about him,” James said on his trade rumor.
