Shake Rattles and Rolls on the Court …
Shake Milton’s arrival at the Lakers was as understated as a squirrel in a clown car. Acquired alongside Dorian Finney-Smith from the Brooklyn Nets, Milton wasn’t exactly the headliner. He was more like the background extra in a superhero movie, the kind that makes you say, “Wait, is that guy…? Nah.” But with the Lakers fighting more injuries than an action movie hero, Milton found himself thrust into the spotlight, and boy, did he boogie!
In a game against the Denver Nuggets, Milton decided it was time to unleash the beast—dropping 16 points from the bench like a ninja slinging fortune cookie wisdom. His performance was smooth, with a side of hustle: 7-of-11 shooting, five rebounds, three dimes, and even a sneaky steal for good measure. Despite the losing effort, Milton and his gang of bench-warming rebels waged a personal war for basketball honor. “No moral victories here,” Milton quipped, perhaps while wearing a cape. “But it was a chance to show the world we can hoop and hula together!”
Though the Lakers’ bench has Luka Doncic and a squad of shooting stars, Milton’s got dance moves to spare when the buzzer sounds, even if his spotlight dims once the team’s back in full gear. With Doncic echoing sentiments of no whining in basketball, it seems the Lakers are ready to back up their game with more than just a few stunning ballet leaps on the court. Want more razzle-dazzle?
