The old times are usually the good times, or so they say. The Los Angeles Lakers have been struggling all year, and they will be missing the playoffs for the sixth straight season. But while most people are already looking forward this summer, when the team is expected to get a high pick in the draft and sign a top free agent, some of the purple and gold's former players had some fun talking about last season on Twitter.
So here's what happened. Corey Brewer initially started a Q&A on Twitter.
Just wrapped up with @wfnz and I've got some downtime. Let's knock out a quick Twitter Q&A!
Who's got some questions??
ā Corey Brewer (@TheCoreyBrewer) March 25, 2019
While fans stormed with tons of questions for the veteran forward, Larry Nance Jr. decided to join in the fun by asking Brewer who had the most wins in their shooting contests last season.
Who has the second most shooting titles behind me? @ivicazubac @TylerEnnis @LuolDeng9
ā Larry Nance Jr (@Larrydn22) March 25, 2019
Brewer responds, saying Nance wasn't the one who had the most shooting titles.
Larry, you do NOT have the most. @ivicazubac probably has more than you š https://t.co/NddihrRgpC
ā Corey Brewer (@TheCoreyBrewer) March 25, 2019
Of course, Ivica Zubac confidently claimed Brewer's wild guess.
Not probablyā¦ I for sure have most wins š¤·š»āāļø
ā Ivica Zubac (@ivicazubac) March 25, 2019
Julius Randle had something to say about the friendly debate.
Time outā¦ I came in during the middle of the year and won more than all of yāall https://t.co/Jq3mAO6EEJ
ā Julius Randle (@J30_RANDLE) March 25, 2019
But Brewer said he was cheating!
Cheating don't count š¤£

In the middle of the discussion, Tyler Ennis said some guys should not be included in their discussion.
I donāt know why you even included @ivicazubac or @LuolDeng9 in this.
ā Tyler Ennis (@TylerEnnis) March 25, 2019
For those who don't know, some Laker players conducted shooting contests mostly after every practice last season.
Brewer, Nance, Zubac, Randle, and Ennis were all part of the year, and although they didn't have much success, fans were clearly behind their back last year, as they supported the team's mixture of young and veteran players.
So some fans can't help but look back and feel sad.

As a Laker fan, this hurts to read, stop it guys, please.

Randle, we really miss you man.

Of course, all five players have either been traded by the Lakers, or they have been allowed to sign elsewhere.
Brewer is now with the Sacramento Kings, Nance is with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Julius Randle is with the New Orleans Pelicans, Ivica Zubac is with the Los Angeles Clippers, and Tyler Ennis is playing forĀ FenerbahƧe in the EuroLeague.
