Hey, Fakers. The Joker’s on you.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis are the Truth with a capital “T.” But the rest of this L.A. team (here’s looking at you, JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard), are front-running Fakers with a capital “F.”
“Everybody always has us packing our backs and leaving, but we’re not ready to go,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.
