Through the detective work of a popular YouTuber, the Los Angeles Lakers were exposed for throwing Malik Monk under the bus on the team’s social media graphics after losses. A Twitter account named Depressed Lakers Fan first accused the @Lakers of never using a photo of LeBron James after a loss. When Kenny Beecham saw the accusation, he launched an investigation by scrolling through months of Lakers content to confirm Depressed Lakers Fan’s tweet: an image of LeBron James was never used after any of the 43 losses this season.
According to the study, Malik Monk’s photo has been used to announce 10 of the 43 losses.
