Lakers News: LeBron James Goes Scorched Earth Against Grizzlies On Social Media
All-Star Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James clearly felt pretty darn vindicated on Friday night, as he helped propel LA to a 125-85 blowout victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, which ended the Grizzlies' season and helped advance LA to the second round of the 2023 Western Conference Finals.
Los Angeles won the series 4-2. James averaged 22.2 points on 48.5% shooting from the floor, 11.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals a night in the series.
James took to Twitter to unspool this gem, clearly a response to Grizzlies small forward Dillon Brooks, who had been ripping James for being over-the-hill throughout the series off the floor, while doing precious little to stop him on it.
But that wasn't enough for The Chosen One, who also hopped onto his Instagram account to issue yet another direct retaliation to Brooks, who said he wasn't afraid of "poking the bear" in reference to hypothetically irking James.
Meanwhile, following the loss, Brooks quickly departed the visitor's locker room of Crypto.com Arena without making himself available to the media, reports Tim MacMahon of ESPN.
