The Los Angeles Lakers fans are one of the most demanding fanbases in the NBA and the team is well aware of that. After a couple of years trying to rebuild, in 2019 the team appeared to have a competitive core to make some noise in the Western Conference but nothing worked for them. LeBron James’ first season with the team didn’t go as expected and the front office made the right moves.
Over a year after that trade happened, one NBA fan has hilariously explained how the Lakers fans reacted when they learned that Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram and more were headed to New Orleans, showing one popular video circulating the internet showing a game destroying a Playstation in front of a group of men. The surprise is bigger for them and it sums up perfectly how the Lakers players must have felt when they learned that all these players were traded to the Pelicans in exchange for Anthony Davis.

This video has gone viral in recent days and it’s the perfect footage to describe how must have felt being a Lakers fan during that moment. Flash forward we know that that decision was great for the Lakers, who made the playoffs for the first time since 2013 and won their first championship in 10 years (17th in history).
AD and LeBron have created a big duo in Los Angeles and they’re ready to continue their dominance over the rest of the league for several years after signing huge contract extensions. Anthony Davis is the future of the Lakers and we’re pretty sure nobody has anything to be mad about regarding this player.
