Max Christie died this evening see more…
Just like some NBA players, Max Christie of the LA Lakers live streams on Twitch in his free time. Christie plays “Call of Duty: Warzone” and usually interacts with fans on his stream. He =has at least 1,300 followers on Twitch under his username @MChristieJr.
On a recent Twitch stream, the Lakers youngster was caught off guard by a fan’s comment about Darvin Ham and barely contained his laughter. The fan with username @mindsetofbron wrote in the comments section:
“Type 1 in chat if you think Darvin Ham has CTE.”
Fans began flooding the comments to express their belief that the Lakers coach has chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Christie had no other choice but to let out a chuckle at what his fans did on his stream.

Max Christie has been in and out of the LA Lakers’ rotation this season.
Max Christie was not part of the LA Lakers’ rotation in the first four games of the season.
Darvin Ham started giving him minutes at the start of November before giving him inconsistent playing time here and there. Christie would play more than 20 minutes in one game and get a DNP or a nine-minute cameo the next.
Ham praised Christie for being a “well-balanced” player and believed the young player would only improve.
“I think he’s a well-balanced player,” Ham said. “Albeit he’s still young as a second-year player, but he’s a well-balanced player on both sides of the ball.
“He can take on some tough matchups and hit his 3s, athletic, rebounds, can finish at the rim, great cutter, switches and is a great defensive rebounder. Just a variety of different things that are only gonna get better as he ages.” [H/T Lakers Nation]
Christie is the Lakers’ 2022 second-round pick, which means he will be a restricted free agent this summer.
