The Los Angeles Lakers bit the dust in the crucial Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets and find themselves down 0-3. Despite LeBron James & Co’s valiant effort throughout the game, the LA team couldn’t turn it into a victory as the Nuggets went haywire in the last quarter. While Saturday night’s game became a day to forget for the Lakers fans, a 20-year-old San Antonio Spurs star, who has similarities to NBA icon Dennis Rodman, further infuriated fans with his antics.

The Chicago Bulls legend Dennis Rodman is one of the most recognizable faces in NBA history. Apart from his aggressive gameplay on the court, fans admired him for his flamboyant personality off it. While his fans refuse to accept a star matching Rodman’s energy, the 20-year-old Spurs rookie already made headlines for the same.

After the Lakers’ Game 3 loss, Spurs rookie Jeremy Sochan took to his Twitter and instigated the Lakers fans with a cryptic tweet. The star’s tweet included only three laughing emojis. While it is still unclear about Sochan’s intention behind the tweet, fans assumed that it was the Spurs star’s sly dig at the LA side’s loss.

Sochan had previously taken a direct shot at the Akron Hammer after the Lakers’ Game 2 loss. The tweet read, “Why does ‘King’ James flop so much?” If Los Angeles fans didn’t have a reason to dislike the Polish-American international, then they certainly have two now.

Notably, LeBron James had a tough time shooting from the deep as he finally dropped his first three-pointer of the series on Saturday.
