NBA Fans were all over social media after a compilation video showed Rui Hachimura getting yelled at by multiple Lakers teammates during different games. The clip wasn’t new to die-hard viewers, but the way it was edited made the reactions blow up again. It showed moments where teammates tried to correct defensive mistakes, push him into better positioning, or call out missed rotations. NBA Fans turned it into one big joke thread.
The first viral post came from @LakeShowYo, who wrote, “entire Lakers team always yelling at poor Rui [crying emoji].”

It set the tone for the replies, with NBA Fans joking about how often Hachimura ends up on the receiving end of loud in-game coaching.
Then @ShoheIsKing added another punchline with, “This guy embarrassing japan [crying emoji],” a post that spread fast simply because of the dramatic phrasing.
Not every comment was a roast. Some NBA Fans defended him, pointing out that his shooting has been one of the most stable parts of the Lakers’ offense.
@KatoBiz1 wrote, “[laughing emoji] poor Rui… still he is sharpest shooter from corner 3 and from free throw line jump shots! He is 5th player in this LA team!”
That reply, which mixed humor with praise, became one of the most shared comments in the whole thread.
What made the moment bigger for NBA Fans is how the video highlighted both sides of Hachimura’s season. He has games where he looks locked in, and he has moments where teammates push him harder than others on defense.

The comments turned the post into a celebration thread.
One of the most popular replies came from @vikas_poon98990, who wrote, “Hang the ‘7 Game Win Streak in December’ banner right next to the In-Season Tournament one! [triangular flag emoji][trophy emoji][angry face emoji]”
A lot of NBA Fans joined in on the joke since the Lakers have picked up a reputation for making minor achievements feel like major titles.
Another fan, @skzwrld_, posted a meme of Squidward and SpongeBob in Lakers hats with the caption, “another????” followed by, “What’s that? Is that another win?”
NBA Fans pushed the meme all over the thread, saying it summed up how the Lakers keep stacking victories during this run.
The win meant more than just a good shooting night. NBA Fans have been waiting to see if the team could build some rhythm, especially after early inconsistency. The seventh straight win was enough for people to start talking about playoff momentum, even though the season is still long. They pointed out how the team has cleaned up mistakes, tightened rotations, and leaned on players who fit the system better.
NBA Fans kept the tone light, but the overall reaction was clear: this streak matters. It gives the Lakers something to build on, and with the way they closed out the Pelicans, supporters believe there may be more wins coming before the run slows down.
