The NBA script-writers are getting lazy, and Lakers fans are absolutely here for it. ๐ฟ
With Sean Penn officially taking home Best Supporting Actor last night for One Battle After Another, the prophecy has been reactivated.
Check the history; the correlation is actually wild:
๐ฌ 2004: Sean Penn wins Best Actor (Mystic River) โก๏ธ Lakers make the NBA Finals.
๐ฌ 2009: Sean Penn wins Best Actor (Milk) ๐ โก๏ธ Lakers make the NBA Finals (and win it all).
๐ฌ 2026: Sean Penn wins Best Supporting Actor (One Battle After Another) โก๏ธ [Loading...]
The Lakers are currently sitting at 3rd in the West, Luka is playing like a literal cheat code, LeBron is out there playing third option to Luka and Austin Reaves, and Sean Penn is collecting hardware in Ukraine instead of showing up to the ceremony.
Everything is perfectly chaotic.
Someone get this man a lifetime pass to Crypto.com Arena before the playoffs start. ๐ค
