Megan Rapinoe Urges LeBron James’ Lakers to Call Up G-League Starlet as They Go Down Against Sacramento Kings

Over the past few seasons, NBA and soccer fans have developed quite a close connection with each other. We often see players from either of these sports interacting and reacting with each other on social media. Just a few hours ago, USWNT soccer star Megan Rapinoe gave LeBron James and the Lakers some valuable advice ahead of their game against the Sacramento Kings.

After last season, reports emerged that the Lakers would be open to adding personnel to their shooting department.

Megan Rapinoe has some golden advice for LeBron James!

The Lakers might not need to look out for a shooter anymore. Devin Cannady is currently lighting the G-League on fire with the South Bay Lakers. USWNT star, Megan Rapinoe let LeBron James and his team know how she felt about Devin Cannady. She reposted an Instagram post on her story that read, “Believe it not: The best shooter in the Lakers organization is in South Bay”.

Rapinoe added, “Better call this mans up. Let’s goooooo”.

The American basketball pro has consistently made the headlines because of his pin-point accuracy while shooting. According to G League Tv, the 26-year-old basketball star is currently putting up 17.5 points on 42.6% of 3-pointers (7.8 attempts) this month itself. However, Cannady has proved he isn’t a ‘one-season wonder’. Throughout the last four seasons, the American basketball pro has never shot under 91.4% free throws.

Quite a few fans are also suggesting the Lakers finally add the G-League star to their NBA roster. The fans indicated that LeBron James could definitely use Cannady’s help in the shooting department. The Lakers went down against the Kings and Cannady could be a good addition to their roster in the games ahead. Cannady could make an insane impact off the bench. The G-League star could create havoc if he’s subbed in for ten minutes spells just to shoot 3 pointers.

LeBron James would surely not mind some more help in the shooting department. It’s just those consistent basic offensive and defensive mistakes that have let his team down this season.

Lakers’ silly errors let them down yet again!

The Lakers shockingly lost their game against Sacramento Kings by the closest of margins. The final score of the game was Lakers 111 – 116 Kings. However, LeBron James and the Lakers just kept playing catch-up most of the time. LeBron James led by example and turned in a performance of the highest level. But the problem was that only LeBron James had a good game alone with 32 points. Russell Westbrook has the next-best score in the team, but it’s a straight drop down to 19 points.

The Lakers fans are quite upset because they feel that the Lakers could have won the game on many occasions. The Sacramento Kings did nothing extraordinary to win this game. It’s just the silly offensive and defensive errors that cost the Lakers the game.
