Michael Malone hasn’t forgotten about LeBron trying to steal his spotlight.
“I got a lot to think about,” James said after being swept by Denver. “Just personally, with me moving forward with the game of basketball, I got a lot to think about.”
For Malone, the attention on the Lakers was irksome — even after entering the postseason at the top seed in the West with the two-time reigning NBA MVP in Nikola Jokic. “The frustration of that series of against the Lakers is, we win Game 1 against the Lakers and the headlines are ‘Lakers figure out Nuggets’ — and we’re up 1-0!” he said. “You win the series and the narrative is the Lakers, Lakers, Lakers. I think we’ve done enough to hopefully put the Denver Nuggets in people’s minds and their hearts … if they don’t, we don’t give a s–t.”
