Even though we are all stuck at our homes, with the exception of the Dallas Cowboys, last night was still Saturday night and lots of people found different ways to have a little bit of extra fun. While some were locked into last night’s battle between RZA and DJ Premier for hours, there were a couple of other stars that stayed up last night on Instagram Live: Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard.
Of course, it didn’t take much for Lakers fans to turn this into potential recruitment as a new point guard, even though Lillard just signed a Super Max extension that is set to kick in next season.
Even though LeBron did trim his beard with the help of his wife Savannah, LeBron’s beard has drawn comparisons to his former Cavs teammate Kendrick Perkins. While the jokes are funny, it is true that one of the side-effects of this stoppage in play was that it most likely made it impossible that we could see a Lillard-LeBron battle in the first round of the playoffs. Portland was 3.5 games behind the 8th-seeded Grizzlies with 16 games left to go, including two head-to-head games against each other.
Unless the NBA season resumes, and unless that resumption includes an expanded playoff field, we likely won’t get to see Lillard and LeBron play against each other for a while, which has become especially fun since LeBron jointed the West.
