Son of a BITCH!
I am so sorry Laker Nation, this L falls on my shoulders. This blog has been parading the LakeShow around like a prize show puppy since the trade deadline, and now I have reverse-jinxed us into oblivion. The Lakers were so back, and now we are very not back.
Does God have a personal vendetta against me? FINALLY, a team surrounds LeBron with young athletic shooters, and he instantly gets hurt. The most durable superstar ever practically ripped his Achilles in half this past Sunday. For his entire career, there was no one more reliable. Unfortunately, the MOST reliable player ever is Father Time. He just don’t miss. LeBron is now 38, which in NBA years means he should be in a retirement home. He’s practically in a wheelchair already, crippling before our very eyes. Soon he’ll have cataracts, and instead of seeing 3 rims, he’ll only see darkness. I don’t think blind LeBron will be winning a championship any time soon.
Now the Lakers’ playoff hopes rest in the hands of Anthony Davis. That’s just TERRIFIC. What could possibly go wrong? There is a very short list of superstars I’d rely on less than AD, and that list is basically just Kyrie Irving. Can he do it? 100%. Will he do it? Nope, and that’s the most annoying part. He’s completely fucking unstoppable when he TRIES, but he doesn’t seem to like doing that very much. He either gives up or his body shatters when it matters most.
I can preemptively blame Anthony Davis all I want, but deep down I still know this is my fault. The power of the reverse jinx is completely unstable and not to be trifled with. I tempted fate by calling the title shot too early, and now an entire fanbase will suffer. If the Warriors end up winning the title because of this, I may never forgive myself. If there is a God, he will hear my prayers and do everything in his almighty power to prevent that from happening.
Get well soon LeBron, the world needs you now.
