LeBron James trends for doing a somersault during the game

LeBron James is used to defying the odds and he did that last night. Heading into the Lakers’ game against the Clippers, the talk was how the Clippers dominate the Lakers. Since 2012, the Clippers have owned the head-to-head matchup against the Lakers. Through most of last night’s game, it looked like the Clippers would win again. However, LeBron put a stop to that. He got an and-1 against his former teammate, Russell Westbrook, and did a somersault.

LeBron James signed with the Lakers during the 2018 free agency period. After the Cavs got swept in the 2018 NBA Finals, speculation said LeBron would leave. Instead of making it a long and drawn out process, LeBron quickly signed with the Lakers. This move got the approval of Kobe Bryant. In addition, the national fans were excited. However, the local fans were upset with the signing. This anger briefly subsided, when LeBron led the Lakers to the 2020 title.

LeBron James spent his career overcoming the odds. Last night, the Lakers were not expected to get the win over the Clippers. Actually, the Lakers have only beaten the Clippers eight times since 2012. Because of the strong play from LeBron, this has become nine times. Since trading for James Harden, the Clippers have been on a roll. They had a huge fourth quarter lead, but LeBron got the and-1 and the somersault. This shifted the momentum.
