A single missed 3-pointer, and a player faces extensive criticism over the same for days together. Sounds similar to what recently happened with Lakers’ Danny Green. Isn’t it? Well, Green hit back at the critics as Los Angeles Lakers became the 2020 NBA champions on Sunday night.
It was a beautiful sight to watch LeBron James and Co. sweating in immense joy after winning the hard-earned title. It’s LeBron’s fourth in the counting and Anthony Davis‘ first-ever championship. The streets of Los Angeles were colored purple-gold while fans celebrated the heart-melting victory.
Criticism comes hand-in-hand with success, and the Lakers weren’t wary of that. On days they didn’t deliver, the most dominating team in the league has also faced negative comments.
