Los Angeles Lakers swingman Kent Bazemore went viral recently, thanks to LeBron James. For those who haven't seen it yet, there is a video trending online showing LeBron evicting Baze from his seat during a recent LA game and then leaving him hanging as the poor guy dapped himself up instead.

It was definitely a hilarious moment, and while Bazemore clearly didn't care how he was snubbed (it seems LeBron didn't notice him when he was asking to be dapped up anyway), the rest of the world still felt for him. After all, it hasn't been a good season for the Lakers, and after he was promised a bigger role with the team, the last thing fans want to see is for Bazemore to get ignored.

Upon seeing the viral clip, James couldn't help but react. Of course he didn't mean to do that to Bazemore, so he made sure to apologize to his teammate. Still, he found it funny as proven by his Instagram story.

Greeting each other aside, LeBron James and the Lakers have bigger issues to address in the offseason. They are already out of playoff contention, and so their focus now shifts to what they can do to return to title contention.

The Purple and Gold franchise is expected to make several roster moves in the offseason. Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook have been linked in trade speculations, though sdome believe the Lakers will retain both players and instead overhaul the players around them in a bid to get younger and more athletic.

As for Kent Bazemore, his future with the Lakers remain in doubt as well. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, and after playing sparingly throughout 2021-22, LA might have its reservations in bringing him back.

Hopefully, though, getting kicked out from his seat by LeBron and leaving him hanging won't be his most memorable moment for the Lakers. The season didn't go as planned and expected for him and the team, so maybe Rob Pelinka and co. would consider that as they look which player to re-sign and part ways with in the offseason.
