The Los Angeles Lakers have found a lot of different ways to spend their ample free time during the bubble, with the most notable one being their team Madden tournament. But after getting to the playoffs, there has finally been a Super Bowl champion in the first season of the Lakers’ Madden league.
During an interview with Spectrum SportsNet’s Allie Clifton, James gave an update at the tail end of his interview, confirming that Quinn Cook won the tournament over Markieff Morris. The Lakers have apparently already started season 2, according to LeBron, as transcribed by Lakers Nation.
“Year 1 is a wrap. Quinn Cook is the Super Bowl champion. His Arizona Cardinals defeated Markieff Morris and his Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl I. Season 2 [started Wednesday]. … Myself and my Cleveland Browns take on Jared Dudley and his newly Los Angeles Chargers. I was going to say San Diego but they’re now in L.A.”
James was the Tampa Bay Buccanneers in the last season. It’s unclear whether the Lakers are playing the new Madden, which recently came out, Madden 21. But I think it’s safe to assume they are playing with the newest version in their current season.
