As announced a week ago, the Lakers will proudly display their first victory in the NBA Cup. The franchise revealed a new unique banner this Monday evening against the Knicks, with a little interested LeBron James. And he wasn’t the only one.

Winners of the first edition of the NBA Cup, the Lakers pocketed $500,000 per player during this competition. A boost of motivation for some, determined to replenish their bank account a little during the season. The Angelinos achieved this objective thanks to a great victory over the Pacers, before making a decision that was controversial to say the least among the supporters.

The Lakers’ decision that divides fans

We learned last week that the California franchise intended to unveil a unique banner at the top of their venue. The inscription “2023” has been added to it and other dates may join it in the event of new victories in future years. The famous Grail was therefore revealed this Monday evening against the Knicks in a… special atmosphere.

Between fairly calm supporters, players laughing and others looking elsewhere, we were allowed different types of behavior when showing the new banner. The one who gets talked about the most is LeBron James . The King often looked away during the ceremony and stormed off to the bench the second it was all over. It’s clear that the Chosen One doesn’t think much of it.

He doesn’t even look at her

He looks so disappointed

LeBron James was not very concerned by this new banner at the Lakers. The King only wanted the tournament money, while he prefers to focus on winning another championship. It’s hard to blame him…
