“Lakers Hit Rock Bottom, Will Smith Hit Rock Top”: NBA Twitter Goes Berserk as Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock While Pelicans Slap Lakers to Doom

The Los Angeles Lakers are heading downhill in their current situation, as they do not seem to make much progress on the court. In particular, if we see their position shifted from 9th to 10th in the Western Conference. Moreover, their winning chances are going down as well. For the Lakers, two bad news broke on Sunday.

Their match ended in a 116-108 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the second news was particularly devastating for the team, as LeBron James suffered what he called a “horrible” ankle injury. The hopes that the Lakers’ fans held all came to an end.

Thousands of NBA fans turn berserk as Will Smith slaps Chris Rock while the Pelicans slap the Lakers to doom on Twitter. During the coverage of the oddest Academy Awards moments, they compared the Laker’s situation with what was seen at the Oscars 2022.

Chris Rock getting slapped by Will Smith was a shocking sight for all fans. This occurred after the comedian made fun of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. The situation was exactly like the Pelicans smacking the Lakers.

Lakers are nowhere to go in this year’s championship

In the match, the worst part was seen when fans observed James’ circumstances. As he was setting up for the rebounding position, he rolled his left ankle. It happened at the beginning of the second quarter. It was James’ stepping on Pelican’s center Jaxson Hayes’ foot that caused the incident. After being in that position, he stood up and started playing for the team.

For James, he showed his acumen with the position he was playing in. For instance, he played for 42 minutes and scored 39 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. However, that did not help the Lakers’ situation.

Twitter users gave some responses that were not favorable. As the anger is clear in their direct responses. According to one: “Lakers hit Rock bottom, Will Smith hit Rock top”.

When I read the quote about a wasted opportunity… I really thought it was about the Oscar slapdown that took the spotlight away from what should have been a glorious victory for best actor and for the team that put together King Richard. It is all sad.
Sorry, about the Lakers.
