When the Los Angeles Lakers went all the way and won the championship in 2020, few could have foreseen the rough years that lay ahead for them. A first-round exit in the 2021 playoffs was followed by a disastrous campaign in 2021-22, where they failed to make the playoffs.

This season is promising to be much of the same, and you can say it’s actually worse than last season, which is honestly quite astonishing, considering how terrible 2021-22 was. The Lakers finished 33-49 then and are 3-10 now, but they remain a fixture on national television despite all their struggles.

Someone who gets forced to watch and talk about the Lakers because of it is Charles Barkley when he is on Inside the NBA on TNT. Barkley has been quite critical of the Lakers for a while now, and after seeing the Kings demolish the Nets, he hilariously said that the Kings should get all of the Lakers’ nationally televised games.

“Let’s call Adam Silver, he’s at the game. Let’s move all the Sacramento Kings (games) in for the Lakers… Let’s kill all the Lakers games”

Well, the Kings do have the best record among the teams from California after this dominating win over the Nets, and they are definitely a more fun team to watch than the Lakers at this point. Still, the Lakers are the most popular sports team in the U.S., as per a recent study, and they’ll always be at the front of the line when it comes to nationally televised games.

Barkley also blasted the Nets during this episode as he called it a wasted 4 years for the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. He also had a message for the other member of the Brooklyn Big 3, as he stated that he does not feel good about Ben Simmons heading to face the Sixers in Philadelphia next week. Things are definitely not looking good for the Nets right now, as the honeymoon period under new head coach Jacque Vaughn seems to have come to an end.

His passion for the sport was ignited after witnessing the high-octane offense of the Steve Nash-led Phoenix Suns. Among the Suns, Shawn Marion stood out to Gautam as an all-time underrated NBA player. Marion’s versatility as a defender and his rebounding prowess, despite being just 6’7”, impressed Gautam immensely. He admired Marion’s finishing ability at the rim and his shooting, despite an unconventional jump shot, believing that Marion’s skill set would have been even more appreciated in today’s NBA.This transformative experience not only deepened his love for basketball but also shaped his approach to sports writing, enabling him to connect with readers through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis.
