The Los Angeles Lakers secured their participation in the 2023 NBA Playoffs on Tuesday night with a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Purple and Gold are now set to face the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the postseason.
As these two teams get ready to give us one of the most entertaining series of the playoffs, it’s a good moment to remember that LeBron James once called Desmond Bane out mid-game.
“This y’alls last time dawg, this y’alls last f***ing time, this y’alls last time disrespecting. I’m not chillin’. You ain’t hooping, you’re talking s**t. This the last motherf***ing time imma say it. You start making a couple shots, then you start talking s**t. F*** that, I don’t play that shit.”
LeBron was getting a lot of trash-talking from Grizzlies players, and he clearly wasn’t having any of that. The King grew tired of that and exploded against Bane, who didn’t have an answer for the 4x NBA champion.
The last straw for Bron was Bane telling him that his footsteps didn’t scare anybody, and James fired back at the younger player. At the time, Ja Morant defended his teammate, saying that was a good signal that the Grizzlies weren’t afraid of anybody.
LeBron Will Be Extremely Motivated To Face The Grizzlies
They have a past story, and LeBron will surely remember what was said during that game. Even though he tries to act like he doesn’t, LeBron cares about these exchanges a lot, and he might be waiting for this moment to unleash his power and teach Memphis a lesson.
The Grizzlies remain the villains of the NBA after all their controversies. The Lakers want to keep their championship hopes alive this season, and a win against the No. 2 seed in the West would give them a huge boost.
In one game this season against the Grizzlies, he scored 23 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and dished out 6 assists. They got the win back in January, and James hopes to get four more once the postseason starts.
