Following the Lakers’ 44-point loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, LeBron James was asked what his team needed to change after experiencing the most lopsided defeat of his career.
The answer was as deafening as a shotgun blast. James, a basketball genius on and off the court, knew the impact his choice of words — and brevity — would have. Outside of being a wake-up call that hopefully sets a fire under his team, James’ comment was also accurate. A lot does need to change for the Lakers if they hope to jettison themselves out of limbo.
