Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn takes laughable shot at Clippers after loss

While Hartenstein’s post was of the usual type that NBA players have after a victory, he heard it in the comments from a player who did not even play on Friday. Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn left a comment on the post that read, “Wait till I get back y’all know who run LA.”

Lakers and Clippers fans can debate back and forth who really runs L.A. (although the Clippers have now won their last four consecutive matchups). However, Nunn’s comment is laughable for a couple of reasons. For one, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and all the other Lakers stars played Friday. That makes it highly doubtful that Nunn somehow would have been the one to make the difference, especially since he would have taken away minutes from other Lakers -- such as Malik Monk -- who are playing well. Additionally, while he has proven that he can score, Nunn is a third-year bench player for the Lakers talking here like he is an All-Star.

Nunn, who remains sidelined with a knee bruise, could be back in the lineup the next time that the Lakers and the Clippers meet on Feb. 3. But for now, he should probably take the lead of one of his star teammates, who sounded much more complimentary of the Clippers on Friday night.
