Part 6/11:
A pivotal subplot of the episode revolves around LeBron James’ role in this season. Sans pointed out that LeBron decided to cheer for the Lakers in this game, signaling a period of engagement after a less active first game where he appeared almost immobile.
This change in behavior sparked a stir online, where LeBron supporters—sometimes called "LeBron Goblins"—were allegedly hoping for the Lakers to lose. Sans criticizes this mindset, asserting that these fans are more LeBron fans than Lakers fans, and that their goal is to see the team underperform when LeBron isn’t playing. He emphasizes that the last few seasons under LeBron’s tenure often saw first-round exits, contradicting claims that his presence guarantees championship success.
