“Be the Mamba you always have to be”
The Los Angeles Lakers currently sit second to last in the Western Conference with a 12-27 record and word out of L.A. is that Kobe Bryant could be shut down as early as March to preserve him for the last year of his tenure on the team (not to mention, complete the tanking phase of the organization). The Lakers must retain the Top 5 pick to keep it from handing it to the Phoenix Suns, so it makes sense that they’re going all in in their rebuilding effort.
This hasn’t stopped fans from other teams from making fun of the Lakers, finding joy out of their current misery. It has gone so far that the Internet has now come up with a Frozen parody called “Let It Tank” where an animated Mamba sings all woes.
Even as a Lakers fan, this one is hilarious. Kobe had some funny lines. Especially the Dwight Howard shot, references to his age and fade away/shoot some more airball.
