The Los Angeles Lakers get ready to face the Memphis Grizzlies and fans are hyping them up.
A former player, Lamar Odom, is confident they can get the job done.
Not only that, but Odom had big praise for LeBron James, who is expected to lead the Lakers to the promised land.
Odom recently called LeBron the ‘God of basketball,’ demonstrating that he’s completely sold on the King.
“God James. His name is God James. The god of basketball.”

Others simply went after LeBron James, saying he’s not a God by any means.
