Lakers dysfunction shone through on LeBron's big night
The whole world was celebrating LeBron James' scoring record. Except some of his own teammates.
On the night James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time record for points, two of his most prominent teammates couldn't get out of their own way. First, Russell Westbrook argued with coach Darvin Ham at halftime.
Here is the play in question, where Westbrook "took his time" getting off the court after Ham subbed him out for James with less than a minute left in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, Anthony Davis seemed unexcited with the whole proceedings, looking almost upset when James broke the record. In his postgame press conference, AD simply looked depressed.
Westbrook may have played his last game for the Lakers, and it's possible Davis was disappointed not to be on the floor when James set the record. Davis is also clearly still affected by his injury from December. But it's a sign of the failure of this Big Three that even a historic moment couldn't get the team on the same page.
