It is no secret the 2018-19 NBA season has been a disappointing one for the Los Angeles Lakers as after signing LeBron James, they had obvious playoff expectations.
Injuries and poor play have led to another season in the NBA Draft lottery with the Lakers recently being eliminated from playoff contention after a loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
After that 111-106 loss in late March, some of players took it harder than others.
According to Bill Oram of The Athletic, Lance Stephenson actually cried due to his desire to make it to the NBA Finals for the first time in his career:
