Doing what I want

New Years

The L/n family, was gathered to ring in the New Year after another remarkable victory for the Lakers.

Their joyous celebration was fueled not only by the arrival of a new year but also by the Lakers' continued success.

With a perfect record of 36-0, the Lakers had defied all expectations, setting the league on fire.

Even in the absence of Anthony Davis, who was recovering from an injury sustained during the thrilling Christmas game, Y/n had led the team to victory once again.

As the clock ticked down to midnight, they stood together in the living room, their eyes fixed on the television. The countdown had begun, and the excitement in the room was palpable.

"Ten! Nine! Eight!"

The excitement built with each passing second, and the anticipation of a new year filled with hope and possibilities was infectious.

"Three! Two! One! Happy New Year!"

With the final countdown, cheers erupted throughout the house. Fireworks illuminated the night sky, and the sound of joyous celebrations echoed from neighboring homes.

Amid the revelry, Y/n held Jenna close, and with their baby in his arms, he shared a heartfelt New Year's kiss.

James joined in, exchanging well-wishes and celebrating the moment with his brother.

As they watched the fireworks outside, Y/n couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. "This is an amazing way to start the year, with family, love, and a perfect season so far. I'm excited to see what 2023 has in store for us."

Jenna, with a warm smile, replied, "It's been an incredible journey, and I'm looking forward to all the adventures this year will bring. With you by my side, I know it'll be extraordinary."

James raised his glass in a toast. "Here's to an unbeaten season, new beginnings, and the pursuit of greatness. Happy New Year!"

They clinked their glasses together, welcoming 2023 with open hearts and the promise of more victories and cherished moments in the days to come.

Y/n decided to unwind with a bit of fun and downtime. Jenna, with their baby in her arms, sat beside him as he set up an Instagram Live session in the living room. James, Y/n's older brother, was ready for the challenge.

As Y/n went live, the comments section filled with excited emojis and greetings from fans. Y/n's bond with his fans was evident as he greeted them warmly.

"Hey, everyone! We just got our 36th win, and we're celebrating the New Year. So, I thought we'd continue the celebration with a little gaming. UFC 4, anyone?"

The response was overwhelmingly positive, and fans flooded the chat with requests and cheers.

Y/n set up the game, and it wasn't long before he was joined by James, who brought his competitive spirit to the room.

With the game loaded and the fighters chosen, Y/n announced, "I'm taking Jon Jones, the GOAT, and James is going with Anderson Silva. Let's see who comes out on top!"

The first fight was an intense back-and-forth battle. Both fighters showcased their skills, and it was clear that James knew his way around the game.

Y/n was relentless with Jon Jones, and the match went the distance, ending in a decision victory for Y/n.

"Man, that was close!" Y/n exclaimed. "James, you're good at this."

James grinned, determined to bounce back. "Thanks, but I'm not giving up that easily. Let's do a rematch."

During the Instagram Live gaming session, as fans continued to send in questions and comments, one stood out among the rest.

"Hey, Y/n, there's a lot of talk about you becoming the Lakers' all-time leader for three-pointers made in a season. You're on pace to break that record by the end of February. How does it feel to be on the verge of such an achievement?"

Y/n's face lit up with excitement as he addressed the question. "It's a tremendous honor, no doubt. The Lakers have a rich history, and when you think about all the legendary players who've suited up for this franchise, it's a special feeling to be in a position to set a new record."

He continued, "Records are made to be broken, and I've got a great group of teammates and coaches who believe in me and help me make those shots. It's not something I focus on during the games, but it's definitely a goal I'd be proud to achieve."

As he shared his perspective, the chat filled with supportive messages, and fans expressed their excitement for the upcoming record.

Round two began with James more determined than ever to secure a win. This time, he was on fire, skillfully using Anderson Silva's striking abilities and catching Y/n in a submission hold. As Y/n's fighter struggled, he had no choice but to tap out.

James pumped his fist in the air, triumphant. "Gotcha! One-one now. Let's go for the deciding match." Y/n nodded, ready for the decisive showdown.

During the Instagram Live gaming session, another fan question touched on a significant moment in Y/n's career.

"Y/n, we know you had a fantastic season with Brook Lopez as your teammate. However, he made the decision to leave the Lakers and join the Bucks. How did you feel about that, especially after just beating the Bucks in the finals with Brook as your second option due to some injuries on the team?"

Y/n took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding.

"Brook Lopez's decision to join the Bucks is his own, and I respect his choices. We had our differences, and sometimes that happens in the basketball world. It's part of the game. As for the Lakers, we're focused on our goals and the upcoming season. We've got a fantastic team, and we're working together to reach new heights."

The third fight was a thrilling slugfest, with both fighters delivering powerful strikes and taking heavy hits.

As the final round began, Y/n seized an opportunity and landed a devastating knockout punch, sending Anderson Silva to the canvas.

"Whew, that was intense!" Y/n exclaimed as the virtual arena erupted with cheers and applause. "Great games, James!"

James couldn't help but smile. "You got me there. Well done! But we'll have to play a lot more to determine who's truly the champ."

Throughout the gaming session, Jenna, with their baby in her arms, watched with amusement. She cheered for both Y/n and James, enjoying the lighthearted competition and their shared love for gaming.

As the Instagram Live session came to an end, Y/n and James shared a few words with their fans. Y/n couldn't help but express his gratitude.

"Thanks for joining us on this New Year's Day. It's been a blast! Remember, it's not just about the wins on the court; it's about making memories, having fun, and spending time with loved ones."

James nodded in agreement. "Absolutely, and thanks to everyone who watched and supported. We'll be back with more fun soon. Happy New Year, everyone!"
