The Los Angeles Lakers, who recently won the basketball league’s In-Season Tournament, hung up the championship banner today and it looks DUMB.

SO STUPID! No other team has a banner like this hanging in their basketball stadium, how will anyone even know what it is.

Check out this knowledge nugget: 99% percent of people around the world didn’t even know that basketball was having a tournament! And that it was over! SMH!!

Just embarrassing!

Garbage banner hanging next to all those world champion banners. How is that supposed to strike fear into the hearts of the Lakers’ opponents??? All those other banners say that they’re the best IN THE WHOLE WORLD and then this dumb vertical POS hangs there all like, “whoa, we did a DUMB THING during the SEASON against a bunch of fools IDK.”

Did NBA Commissioner Adam Silver even bother to show up to the unveiling of this monstrosity? No! And that’s all you need to know about how “cool” and “relevant” the NBA In-Season Tournament was!

The Lakers should use the tournament champion banner for something useful. If they cut it up and used it as emergency toilet paper in the stadium bathroom, it would bring a lot of joy to the people who thought their stall was out of TP and they didn’t notice until they sat down and by then it was too late to switch to a stall that did have a roll of TP.
