Regina Hall’s words left the Twitterverse astounded with plenty of comments from the fans. Regardless, it’s a movie after all. Moreover, LeBron James will have to use his basketball capabilities on the NBA floor to help the Lakers win. With their latest loss against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Lakers are now in the 10th seed of the Western Conference. This has only depreciated the chances of the ‘King’ even making the play-in tournament, let alone the playoffs. With whatever games the Lakers have left, LeBron will aim to win them all despite the odds being stacked against him.
