NBA Finals: Los Angeles Lakers vs Miami Heat, Which team will take a ring.

Image Credit: @twitter/@Lakers


NBA Finals 2020: Last time Miami Heat made it into the NBA Finals when LeBron James is with them in 2014. Now LeBron James is with Heat's opposing team Los Angeles Lakers. 


Both teams have made it into the NBA Finals after a long time. The last time Lakers were in the NBA finals and 2010 and Miami Heat was there in 2014 with LeBron James and Wade.


No one ever expected that Miami Heat will reach into the NBA finals. Now It's between LeBron and Heat. With this finals appearance, Miami Heat made 6 times into the NBA finals. With LeBron James, Miami Heat made 4 times out of those 6 NBA Finals and won 2 titles with him. Now Heat is on the way to LeBron to win the NBA title. 


This year Miami Heat surprised everyone with their performance. Miami Heat has some chances against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals with the kind of players they have in defense, shooting, and players who can score in the paint. It looks like Miami Heat has made a team to beat LeBron James. 


Lakers can win a title by winning all first 4 games but they need to play with more dedication and accuracy. 


Los Angeles Lakers:


LeBron James


LeBron James needs to be at his highest level who can do things just like he did in the last game of the Western Conference Finals in the fourth quarter. He needs to be more accurate with fewer turnovers. Miami Heat has players like Jimmy Butler, Igoudala, Bam Adebayo, and Jae Crowder who can guard LeBron James. That's why LeBron James needs to play at his best.   


Anthony Davis


Anthony Davis will be a key to the Lakers' success in the NBA finals. Miami Heat doesn't have anyone who can guard Anthony Davis apart from Adebayo but it will be tough for Adebayo to guard Anthony Davis. 


Old Players 


Dwight Howard has a chance to get the first ring in the NBA by giving his all with his positive attitude in the game and off the game. His defense and rebounding will be crucial for the Lakers.  


Rajon Rondo, He can lead a team with a mind and his skill as a point guard in a game. Rondo won one NBA title with a great 2008 Celtics team. Ganny Green, Lakers will need his defense and 3 points shooting in the finals. McGee, He has experience in the NBA finals how to dominate opponents. McGee won both NBA finals against his current teammate LeBron James. 


Role Players


Alex Caruso and KCP are doing great for the Lakers, they just need to be more dominant in a game. Markieff Morris is very good for the Lakers.


Kyle Kuzma


A young player who has the potential to be a top player in the NBA but he just needs to utilize it on his given chances. 


Miami Heat


This team has very tough players on their roster. They all are fighters and never going to break down mentally. They have all things in their team to upset a team. The only thing they don't have is the experience of playing in NBA finals.


Jimmy Butler


This is his first season with Miami Heat and He leads his team to the NBA finals. It looks like he found his home after changing many teams. He is a tough guy and can guard LeBron. Jimmy Butler is the scorer, defender, and leader of the Miami Heat Team. 


Bam Adebayo


Bam will be a major part if Heat has any chance to win a title. he is 6.9 and has a very good athletic ability with a good size even he has very good ball-handling skills. He can handle a ball very well with both hands which will be tough to guard him and he can score with both hands. 


Tyler Herro, Robinson, and Goran Dragic 


This is a shooting trio for Miami Heat, Herro is just in his rookie season and he is playing like a star in this playoff. Robinso is also a good shooter and Goran Dragic has become a scorer for Miami Heat. 


Andre Iguodala And Crowder


Once he won Finals MVP against LeBron James guarding him. His experience against LeBron James to play in the finals will be beneficial for Miami Heat. Crowder is also a tough guy and a very good defender.


And coaching staff of the Miami Heat knows LeBron very well, his weakness and strength and they have all pieces what needs to win a chip. 


If the Lakers want to win they have to play at a high level by Guarding 3-point shooting, scoring in the paint with crazy speed. Pick and roll of Miami Heat's players Tyler Hero, Robinso, and Dragic. Lakers must need to stop these 3 players from scoring. 


Once again Alex Caruso and KCP will be an important factor for the Lakers to guard all these 3-players.
