Kleber Returns with Epic Windmill Dunk…
The Los Angeles Lakers have been puzzling over their center position like a cat wondering why its reflection won’t meow back, especially with Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes joining the team. But sneaking back into the spotlight is Maxi Kleber, who was so quiet last year, you’d think he was working undercover for MI6. Traded as part of the Luka Doncic deal, Kleber healed from foot surgery and only unveiled his moves in the Lakers’ final playoff game where he scored two points—just enough to buy a soda in some places! This offseason, though, he’s been training like a mythical phoenix rising from its ashes, and an Instagram post flaunts his gravity-defying windmill dunk. His athleticism could bring a refreshing twist to the Lakers’ lineup as he forms a reunited pair with old buddy Doncic.
Having spent last season hidden harder than a remote control in your parents’ couch cushions, Kleber is reminding everyone about his strong defensive skills, which work like a charm on the weak side and make him a potential secret weapon for the Lakers. Although he only joined at the tail end of last season, with a Peach Pass to the bench, this time he could end up being a crucial part of Coach JJ Redick’s plans. Motivated by the magic spell of a contract year, Kleber might just pull out all the stops during training camp. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, the Lakers will kick off against the Golden State Warriors on NBA Opening Night. Prepare your popcorn because this season’s showdown is set to be full of dazzling drama and electrifying excitement!
