Lebron is having a heck of year, playing AMAZING basketball in his 20th season. But despite having a long and illustrious career, he fails to inspire anyone even his own teammates. Flashback to 2020 when the world lost Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba’s tragic death shook the basketball world to its core as players and fans worldwide became inconsolable at the loss of an international idol. This included Lebron James who famously wept at the news of his hero’s death. Lebron knew that he could never surpass Kobe or even be as good as him, so he did the next best thing: win a championship in honor of Kobe. And so he did, restoring championship glory to the city of angels.
It’s 2022 now and the Lakers again find themselves demoralized and struggling to make the playoffs. Desperate times call for desperate measures. After the failures of ‘the coming storm’ and ‘playoff mode activated’, Lebron should fake his own death! They should film his leaving a charity event for children by boarding a helicopter to go home ‘in honor of Kobe.’ But before he boards, they should stow him away in a hidden crate and wheeled off and allow the helicopter to fly autopilot, taking off and crash landing into the Hollywood hills, giving the public the impression that Lebron has died in a fiery explosion.
Imagine the headlines. Another tragedy strikes LA. The tributes, memorials and prayers start streaming in for the fallen King. Imagine his best friend AD, heartbroken, but inspired to honor his friend with a championship run. The inspiration would be so immense, AD would make an amazing run winning MVP, FMVP and finally a championship. Lebron would be secretly and officially awarded his fifth ring since Pelinka, Adam Silver and Jeanie would be in on the scam.
So who says no? Everyone wins, Bron fans, Laker fans and AD fans.
EPILOGUE:
It’s 2024, Lebron is still in hiding and presumed dead. The Lakers are once again in the Finals but they are struggling and on the brink of elimination down by 20 at home against the Knicks with 4 minutes left. The crowd begins to boo, AD is on the verge of giving up, and the Knicks are starting to smug sensing they are about to get their ring. When all of the sudden all the lights cut out at Crypto arena. The crowd begins to become confused and raucous, commotion at a peak, and then finally…the sound of an ominous bell chimes. A beam of light projects down from the Crypto rafters fixed on a coffin that has appeared in center court. The bell chimes once more, coffin door slowly slides open and a large cloaked figure rises from the coffin. The Knicks are panicked, the crowd is shocked. The figure unfurls his cloak and is revealed to be none other than Lebron James! LeBron’s music starts pumping in the arena, the lights come on and Lebron takes the ball and starts dunking on everyone, Mike Breen exclaiming ‘it Lebron! It Lebron! By god almighty he’s back! And he’s cleaning house!’
Lakers make a miraculous comeback, win the game and Lebron gets his sixth ring (which MJ comes to kneel and kiss) officially becoming the GOAT!
