The Hasbulla effect helped the Lakers to get into the playoffs

The Los Angeles Lakers struggled most of the season as they started with a 2-10 record, but were able to turn things around, especially after the trade deadline and the team's roster changes.

But on March 17, 2023, the online sensation, Hasbulla attended the Lakers game against the Dallas Mavericks, where the purple and gold won.

Hasbulla, who has 1.5 million followers on Twitter, posted a picture of himself at the courtside of the Crypto.com Arena that night and wrote: "The Lakers WILL make the playoffs." Which became a reality.

Since that Hasbulla post, the Lakers won 81.8% of their games left, got the triumph at the Play-In against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and have now made it into the playoffs and will be playing against the Memphis Grizzlies on the first round.

The Lakers won against the Mavs on the night Hasbulla was between the celebrities watching the game, but the superstar Luka Doncic took a picture with the online star, and since then, the team lost 81.8% of their games left and missed the postseason as they didn't reach the Play-In.
