Doing what I want

Peak

It's been officially a year since I started this story

The day before the Lakers were set to face the Pelicans in the first round of the playoffs, excitement buzzed throughout the NBA community.

Fans, analysts, and players alike were eagerly anticipating the start of the postseason. However, an announcement that morning added even more electricity to the atmosphere.

Y/n, the Lakers versatile and dynamic star, had been unanimously named the NBA's Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year, and Clutch Player of the Year.

It was an unprecedented achievement, solidifying Y/n's status as one of the greatest players in the league's history.

The news spread like wildfire. Social media exploded with reactions from fans, fellow players, and sports commentators.

ESPN Breaking News

Stephen A. Smith, Shannon Sharpe, and Kendrick Perkins were live on ESPN, discussing the announcement.

"Let me tell you something," Stephen A. Smith began, his voice full of enthusiasm. "Y/n is on top of the world right now! This young man has had an unbelievable season, and this recognition is well-deserved. Unanimous MVP, DPOY, and Clutch Player of the Year? That's unprecedented!"

Shannon Sharpe nodded in agreement. "Absolutely, Stephen A. This man has been a beast on both ends of the floor. He's been recruiting smartly, not overdoing it, and now he's reaping the rewards. But he needs to stay focused because being at the top means everyone is gunning for you."

Kendrick Perkins added, "Y/n's dominance this season has been something special. But like Shannon said, staying at the top is the real challenge. He's got to keep that same energy and drive through the playoffs."

At Laker's Practice

At the Lakers' practice facility, Y/n was surrounded by teammates and coaches who congratulated him on his achievements. LeBron, AD, Mobley, and the rest of the team were thrilled for him, their admiration evident.

"Man, you did it, Y/n!" LeBron exclaimed, giving him a big hug. "Let's finish this postseason together and get that championship."

"Let's finish this," AD echoed, clapping Y/n on the back. Mobley smiled, congratulating Y/n.

Y/n laughed, the camaraderie and support from his teammates filling him with pride and motivation.

Later that evening, Y/n shared the news with Jenna as they relaxed at home. The look of pride on her face was priceless.

"Y/n, I'm so proud of you," Jenna said, wrapping her arms around him. "You've worked so hard for this, and it's all paid off."

"Thanks, babe," Y/n replied, holding her close. "I'm just glad I could make you and Y/n Jr. proud. But there's still work to be done. We've got to bring that championship home."

As the Lakers prepared for their matchup against the Pelicans, Y/n remained focused. The accolades were a tremendous honor, but his eyes were set on the ultimate prize: another NBA championship.

The Lakers, fueled by Y/n's leadership and their collective determination, were ready to embark on their playoff journey. The stage was set, the lights were their brightest, and Y/n was prepared to lead his team to glory.
