There it is. 43 losses and James has never been put on a graphic. I mean, he is the heart and soul of this Lakers squad and essentially the only one lighting it up on a nightly basis but still, this is kind of wild. When it comes to wins? LeBron was used 10 times, while Russ found his photo on a graphic eight times.

Malik Monk meanwhile, is getting sewered. He's been used more than any other player on the Lakers roster for L's. That seems a bit unfair considering Monk is actually one of LA's more consistent scorers this season.

Obviously, this isn't a huge deal, but the Lakers' social media team is clearly favoring certain players. More importantly, LA is struggling to win ballgames, with LeBron James getting minimal help. We'll see if he ends up on the next tweet after a win.
