The Los Angeles Lakers have endured a difficult season thus far, as they sit in last place in the NBA's Pacific Division with an 11-16 record. However, that does not mean that stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis and their teammates can't have some fun.

Instead of practicing indoors at their usual facility, the Lakers took to a local football field to get a different kind of workout. James, as would be expected, took on the role of quarterback and threw the ball to a teammate while talking about his skill. Davis could be seen walking in the corner of the end zone, approaching Revis Island. That's a reference to former NFL All-Pro defensive back Darelle Revis.

The Lakers needed to have a good time away from the basketball court after dropping a 122-118 overtime decision to their historical rival Boston Celtics Tuesday night. In that game, the Lakers erased a 20-point deficit and built a 13-point lead late in the 4th quarter before the Celtics mounted a furious comeback of their own to send the game into overtime. Boston outscored Los Angeles 12-8 in the extra session.
