LeBron James and the Lakers may not have emerged victorious against the Bulls, but he surely brought the laughs when he playfully crushed their mascot with an amusing Anthony Davis vote.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been facing some challenges ever since their triumph in the In-Season Tournament. Their latest setback occurred on Wednesday evening when they were defeated by the Chicago Bulls with a score of 124-108. However, amidst this disappointment, there was a silver lining as LeBron James joined forces with his teammate Anthony Davis to make an impactful decision by riding together and triumphing over Benny the Bull, the beloved mascot of the Bulls.
From the moment he stepped foot into the NBA, Davis earned the nickname “The Brow” due to his striking unibrow. Few players can compete with Davis when it comes to unibrows, with one exception – the mascot known as Benny the Bull from Chicago. In a fun twist, Benny decided to hold a poll to determine who sported the finest unibrow, and unsurprisingly, James was quick to show his support for Davis. However, this playful gesture didn’t sit quite right with Benny.
Given how James and Davis form one of the most dynamic pairs in the NBA, it is not surprising that James decided to support his teammate in this significant vote. Despite Davis teasing the idea of parting ways with his iconic unibrow in the past, he has chosen to keep it throughout his career, and this decision has earned him James’ backing. However, it seems that even with the support of his teammates, Davis is still losing to the Bulls mascot in this fun competition.
Although this lighthearted moment provided some humor before the game, the Lakers were not in good spirits after suffering their fourth loss in the last five games. Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who were caught up in the unibrow competition, will now need to shift their focus towards turning things around and getting back on the winning track. Their upcoming game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night will be an opportunity for them to do just that.
