It’s the start of the NBA playoffs, which means basketball fans get to go all-in for their teams and players as they pursue the ultimate prize. In Memphis today, the Los Angeles Lakers started their playoff journey against the Grizzlies, and the atmosphere in FedExForum was electrifying, to say the least.
One LeBron fan even went viral for crashing the party and proudly cheering for his team amidst a sea of Grizzlies supporters.

The Lakers are probably the most notorious franchise in the entire NBA, so it’s no surprise that their fans are filling up arenas in an away game. But looking so comfortable in such a hostile crowd shows how confident fans are in the power of LeBron and Anthony Davis.

Of course, many Lakers fans were glad to see one of their own giving the Grizzlies fanbase a fight.
He’s a goat for that

We don’t know if the fan in question was a LeBron fan, a Lakers fan, or both, but he made sure to get noticed either way.

One Twitter user even joked that he will end up throwing hands before the end of the game.

Needless to say, this is the moment Lakers fans have been waiting for. After all the hard work to sneak into the playoffs, they cannot flame out now.
With LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the cast of role-players ready to give it their all, the Purple and Gold are sure to give the Grizzlies a serious challenge in the series.
Whether or not they can actually win, however, is still up for debate.
Will The Lakers Get Sent Home In The First Round?
The road will not be easy for the Lakeshow, and this first series is already shaping up to be a major grind. In fact, despite the experience and sheer talent of the Lakers’ duo, some experts have predicted a Memphis victory in the series.
“The Grizzlies have too much firepower for the Lakers. Ja Morant, I don’t know if there’s anyone on that Lakers team that can guard him,” said an anonymous coach. “He’s unguardable. And this is their time. This is what they’ve been waiting for all year long, the Grizzlies… (The Lakers will win a game) only because of Anthony Davis.
In the end, it’s impossible to predict how things will play out from here, but it’s clear that Lakers fans still believe in their squad, and they are going to be cheering for their team every step of the way.
