Lakers Reporter Confirms LeBron James’ Plan vs Anthony Edwards & Co. as Collision Sparks Widespread Concern

Who doesn’t like to watch some physical hoopin’? Heated action and drama are everything that the audience craves. But when that turns into a battle of might and reputation, the stakes go skyrocketing. As the Los Angeles Lakers continue their fight against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of the playoff series, the King, LeBron James, has a clear message for Anthony Edwards & Co.

For someone who enjoys playing bully ball, Bron wants some real and raw basketball on Sunday. Mike Trudell, beat reporter for the LA Lakers, confirmed the Akron Hammer’s stance ahead of the crucial fourth game.

“LeBron always says he’s happy when the game gets more physical, and he’s been attacking the basket relentlessly and drawing fouls. In fact, his 14 free throw attempts are a season high, with 2 minutes to play in the first half still.”

At 40 years old, the All-Time Scorer is dominating the Minnesota Timberwolves at the end of the third quarter. True to his word, he’s playing a physical game. But here’s the twist—who would guess he’s actually a power forward? He’s already scored 27 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished out 6 assists with ease.

Meanwhile, LeBron James didn’t hold back against Anthony Edwards as well.LeBron James left Edwards writhing in pain in the first half of the ongoing game. It’s a battle of survival for the Lakers. LeBron leads, holding the banner and sword like the knight he’s always been.

Not too long ago, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith warned JJ Redick’s boys that if they want to win against Minnesota, they have to “neutralize Anthony Edwards.” Does that look or sound easy to you? It’s none. However, what if he’s injured on the floor? Left vulnerable for a while? That should make life easy for the Lakers. So, keeping up with his notion of playing a physical game in the series, the Chosen One went ‘All-Protective.’

However, it seems like Bron made a mistake. What? In an attempt to snatch the ball from an attacking Anthony Edwards, LeBron fell on the floor, and his hand made contact with Ant. Within the blink of an eye, the 23-year-old hit the floor holding his hamstring, leaving the Wolves fans at Target Center gasping. Ant was on the floor for a while, only to get up and shrug off his pain like nothing happened.
