Lakers is the most successful franchise in the NBA with Boston Celtics winning 17 NBA titles. Last season Lakers faced many injury problems which put them in the first-round elimination against the Phoenix suns. Anthony Davis and LeBron James suffered an injury at the crucial time of the season and in the playoffs.  


Without LeBron James and Anthony Davis Lakers are not the top team in the West and they felt in the last season. Last season LeBron James played in the playoffs with injury as he was not fully healthy and Anthony Davis missed playoff games with the injury. 


Dannis Schroder is a very good point guard but he failed to penetrate the opposition team's paint which is the most important part for any point guard. Kuzma has talent but he was unsuccessful with the Lakers despite having the ability to become a very good player because of his attitude problem towards a game of basketball. He has a body of an elite defensive player and has also become a great scorer. Kuzma's performance in the last season was very bad. If Kuzma had played the third guy for the Lakers then it will be a different story for the Lakers. He got many chances to prove himself in the last season in the absence of Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Dennis.

Now, If the Lakers will get a hand on Russell Westbrook, the Lakers will become stronger. Lakers will become too much stronger in the paint with a player like LeBron James who is already a great scorer in the paint and the Lakers already have Anthony Davis who can play at any position. Lakers also have big rebounder Andre Drummond who averaged 13.7 RPG. 


Lakers will become a tough-minded team which is the most important part of any game. LeBron, Russell Westbrook both are very good leaders in the NBA. 


The Lakers will become stronger on the defensive end. Russell Westbrook is the kind of player who can give more than 100% for the game. He can give a tough time to any point guard in the league to score on him. Russel Westbrook is one of the fast players in the NBA means the Lakers will get better in the Transition.


There are some drawbacks in this trade for the Lakers. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook both are ball-dominant players. They will have to adjust every position, This will going to be the most difficult task for the Lakers. 


Russell Westbrook is not a good 3-point shooter and he can become more dominant in the game which will cause a problem for his team. If he can adjust his more dominant mind for the game then he can be the most helpful player for the team.

If the Los Angeles Lakers' 2 other players can shoot long-range shots very well then they will be unstoppable. 


LeBron James doesn't need to give too much at the age of 37. Lakers will be more competitive on their own board who will be going to get more rebounds.


The Lakers will be stronger if they will get Russell Westbrook in this trade deadline. 


If the Nets are fully healthy and the Lakers will get Russell Westbrook then there are chances that they will meet in the NBA finals. This will be fun for the NBA Fans watching old teammates playing against each other.

NBA: Has Giannis taken LeBron's position as the king of the NBA?

After winning the first NBA Title against Phoenix Suns.


In recent times after winning an NBA title against the Suns as the underdog, Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the limelight of the world. Now every NBA fan and sports fan has only one question, Who is the best player in the NBA? LeBron or Giannis and some have the suggestion of KD as the best player in the NBA right now.


Milwaukee Bucks won a championship after 50 years as they defeated Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals with 4-2. Giannis played great in game 6 of the NBA finals. He scored 50 points with 14 boards, 2 assists, and huge 5 blocks from the defensive end. This stat will help him to get the title as the best player in the NBA.

NBA: LeBron James becomes the first ever to get SI's Sportsperson of the year award three times.


Giannis Antetokounmpo has averaged 35 PPG, 13.2 RPG, and 5 assists in the finals of the NBA. This is a huge number for any player in the NBA. He scored only 20 points with 17 boards in the first game, In the second game, he scored 42 points with 12 boards, 3 blocks, and 1 steal. 3rd game of the NBA finals he scored 41 points with 13 boards. In the 4th game of the NBA finals, he scored 26 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and 3 steals. In the 5the game, he was able to score 32 points with 9 boards and 6 assists. 


Giannis played just like LeBron played for his team in the NBA finals. nearly doing well in every field of the game. 



Now LeBron is getting older and he got injury issues in recent times means he was unable to play a full season and this is the reason. LeBron was not healthy this time when he played in the post-season of the year 2020-21. He was not the LeBron we think of him as the king of the NBA. 


After this year's performance, Giannis and Bucks get the edge over LeBron James and the Lakers. Now next year, Giannis will enter the league as the best player in the NBA after winning an NBA championship. 


Giannis has done this without any other superstar but Bucks have very reliable stars like Middleton and Holiday. Jrue Holiday made a clutch steal and Middleton made many clutch shots in the NBA finals.


The suns have no answer of bigs in the Milwaukee Bucks that's how Bucks got the edge of the Phoenix Suns in the NBA finals. They started finals with a great performance at home and took an early 2-0 lead but Giannis and Bucks had other ideas and they won consecutive 4 games to steal a title from the Suns. Suns were a heavy favorite to win a title but Bucks won against all odds.


Giannis also defeated heavy favorite Brooklyn Nets with Kevin Durant and James Harden in the Eastern Semis. Here is the reason why Kevin Durant is unable to take the throne of LeBron James as the king. 


As an NBA champion of the season 2020-21, Giannis takes the throne of LeBron James. Giannis won the NBA Finals MVP.
