Cody Bellinger: Dodgers Motivated By LeBron James, Lakers Winning NBA Championship

October of 2020 will go down as a memorable one for the city of Los Angeles with both the Dodgers and Lakers winning championships, doing so in the same year for the first time since 1988. Of course, back then it was during the summer and fall, rather than weeks apart.

The two teams being so great instilled a sense of pride amongst the L.A. sports community as Dodgers and Lakers players were openly rooting for each other during their respective title runs.

LeBron James made headlines during the World Series when he put out a handful of tweets rooting on the Dodgers, particularly showing love to Cody Bellinger, Mookie Betts and Clayton Kershaw.
