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.

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.

After getting James Harden Brooklyn Nets have the best chance to win the NBA title.



NBA: Los Angeles Lakers won last season's NBA Championship and they are the favorite to win this season's NBA Championship. They are the favorite but not the best to win the title this season. 

Here are teams to win the NBA title this season:

5. Philadelphia 76ers 




Philadelphia 76ers have all things in their team. They can score points, protect a rim with the height of Joel Embiid, Dwight Howard. They have very good defenders like Ben Simmons who can shut any point guard, Danny Green can defend a ball very win who just won an NBA title with the Lakers last season. Danny Green and Dwight Howard will provide an experience of an NBA Champion. 76erss has a very good 3-point shooter Seth Curry and Danny Green.  

76ers got a hand on one of the best coaches of all time- Doc Rivers who can give them a shot to be one of the favorites to win the NBA Championship.

4. Los Angeles Clippers

It is the most disappointing team of the last season from favorite to win an NBA title to knock out of the second round in the playoffs. Despite they got players like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, they were lost against Denver Nuggets. 

Now, They have points to prove that they can win a title. Los Angeles Lakers have two of the top 10 players in the NBA who can play very good basketball at both ends. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard will not play like the last season they will give their more than 100% to make into the beating their city rival Los Angeles Lakers and advance into the NBA finals to win it. 

Also Read:


3. Boston Celtics




Here we are giving 3rd number for the most favorite to win NBA Championship. Boston Celtics have players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Smart, and Kemba Walker who can turn a match on their night. Boston Celtics have the potential to be a team-like 1991-1993 Chicago Bulls Team. They have talent and players who can stand up against any kind of player. They have a strong mentality to win any match at any night. They have one of the best coaches in today's NBA. 

If Boston Celtics want to win NBA Championship they have to execute their play with the highest efficiency and with a perfect plan.



2. Los Angeles Lakers :




Los Angeles Lakers already proved that they are the best team in the past but now they have a very good team against them to win a title. The Lakers got many good and young players in this year's trade deadline and Anthony Davis and LeBron James are playing very good basketball but they have some problem this season. LeBron James getting older and Anthony Davis has injury issues. If they will not play at their 100% then they will face a problem against teams like Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, and teams with a big center. 

If they want to repeat a championship run then they have to make their team with the best defense which can guard a team that has players like KD, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden. Otherwise, they will not be going to win a championship.


1. Brooklyn Nets:



Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are two of the best offensive player in the NBA. They can score on anyone until they have an elite defense on them. Both players are very good at scoring on second chance when their team's players get offensive rebounds. After getting James Harden in the trade they become more powerful in the offense. Now opposition team has to stop 3 of the top 10 offensive players in the NBA right now.

 Nets have DeAndre Jordan, Jarret Allen, Kevin Durant, and some other players who are very good at grabbing offensive rebounds. Kevin Durant, James Harden, Harris, and Kyrie Irving have long-range shots. Even Jeff Green can hit long-range shots. They can shoot a ball with very good efficiency. Brooklyn Nets' only problem is that they don't have a very good defense but they can build a team to protect a rim. If Brooklyn Nets will face Los Angeles Lakers then they have a better chance to win an NBA title.
