The Lakers are doing LeBron James a big favor.
Some fan noticed how the Lakers never use LeBron James in postgame social media graphics that give the final score after a loss.
That led another Lakers fan to do a deep dive into the Lakersā Twitter account, which led to a hilarious video and an eye opening discovery.

The big question is, was this LeBron telling them not to do that, or is it just the Lakers Social Media trying to deflect any negativity away from LeBron.
Either way pretty strange.
