NBA: Los Angeles Lakers win NBA finals after 10 years, LeBron James wins his 4th Finals MVP.


Last Season Golden State Warriors' Curry and Klay Thompson missed the season and because of this Golden State Warriors were in the last position on the table of Western Conference. This year they have a chance to compete for the title against Los Angeles Lakers with healthy Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green but even before the season starts, Klay Thomspon's injury put them in the backseat. Many regarded them as the biggest threat to the Los Angeles Lakers in Western Conference Finals.


Klay Thomson is one of the best 3-point shooters of all time and he is an elite defender to guard the elite offensive player of the opposition team. He can defend an elite scoring guard very well. Once again GSW will miss him very badly in the 2020-21 season.


Klay Thomspon has the record for most 3-pointer in one NBA game with 14 3-pointer made and most points in a single quarter with 37. 


Klay Thompson has the ability to play off the ball and he is the best to catch and shoot player and today's NBA. He doesn't need a ball in his hand to score many points. He scored 60 points in just 3 quarters in the 2016-17 season against Indiana Pacers.


Warriors just win a lottery by drafting Wiseman in the 2020 NBA Draft. He is a big man what GSW just needed with the shooters and Dryamong Green like the all-around player they have. Now Klay's absence put a huge hole in GSW's starting lineup. 


Now Los Angeles Lakers have another year to make into the NBA finals. 


Now to fill Klay Thompson's place GSW finalizing a trade to acquire OKC's young guard Kelly Oubre Jr who played his best NBA season with Chris Paul.

Wiseman will be very helpful for GSW with the size he has. He is a 7 foot 1 center. He played only three games last season for Memphis and he got 12 games suspension due to rules violations.  


Wiseman said," It's great in terms of my concept because I can be able to learn, be able to grow my game, being able to adapt in that type of environment, which I can and just going in there and just learning, just helping grow my game. I just had to bust out in tears because I have been through a lot of adversity in my life but I'm ready to go into Golden State with a great mindset with a different mindset, ready to go in there and just learn as much as possible, grow my game and just adapt and just work my tail off. I have a great relationship with Steph, I went to his camp so he taught me a lot. When I was in high school, he taught me a lot about the game of basketball, gave me a lot of information. I actually took a picture with him, so that's my guy."


LaMelo Ball is one of the best players in this draft and he is a brother of Lonzo Ball who plays for the New Orleans Pelicans. LaMelo Ball is a gifted passer. He played in Lithuania and Australia before he was drafted by Charlotte Hornets. LaMelo and Lonzo Ball become the first pair of brothers in NBA history to be drafted in the top 5.


He averaged 17 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7 assists in 12 games in Australia's National Basketball League. 


LaMelo Ball said," I definitely feel great falling to Charlotte but the way I've fallen down, I never looked at it like that because like I say, whatever happens, happens and I feel like it's God's plan. So wherever he wanted to put me, that's where he put me,  and I feel like he is going to let me blossom there."


Chicago Bulls selected Patrick Williams as the No. 4 picks. Cleveland Cavaliers selected Issac Okoro as the No.5 pick in NBA Draft.

It's hard for two finalist team Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat teams to play at the starting game because they will not get much rest after the hard-fought season in a bubble environment at Disney in Orlando. 


Fans are very excited for this season because many teams will come as strong as they were and some will be a title contender for the season. Golden State Warriors and Nets will be a team to watch out for the next season.

NBA:  Shaquille O'Neal selects his starting 5 for the all-time. Shaq is one of the most dominant players in the NBA of any era. He is the most dominant player in the post area. 


Shaq selects Lebron James and Michael Jordan in his all-time NBA team with himself Alen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. After this post, he gives a hard task to select a better team to beat this team. Shaq selected this team and challenged fans if they could build a better starting 5 to beat his starting 5 in a 7-game series.        


Shaq is 4 times NBA champion and he won Finals MVP 3 times (2000 to 2001). He won NBA's MVP in 2000, 15 times he selected in an NBA all-star(1993-1998,2000-2007 and 2009). He is 3 times the NBA All-star game MVP(2000,2004 and 2009). He selected 8 times in All-NBA first team(1998, 2000 to 2006), 2 times All-NBA second team, and 4 times all NBA 3rd team(1994,1996,1997,2009). He achieved many things in his NBA career. 


Many fans regard him as the most dominant player of the NBA in any generation. He won 3 peat with another legend, Kobe Bryant, from 2000-2002. He played 19 years in the NBA and some founded a solution to stop him was to foul him. This was the only solution they got because he was very bad at free-throw shooting.  


A team he selected has got what an NBA team to win any trophy. This team has Jordan, LeBron, and Kobe Bryant, Shaq at the center, and Iverson as a point guard. There is no chance for any other all-time team to beat this team with the IQ, paint dominance, killer instinct, and crazy moves from Allen Iverson.

LeBron, MJ, and Kobe. These three names are enough to put pressure on anyone and he added himself as one of the most dominant players whom no one can stop with another great player of a game who can break anyone's ankle with his crazy move Iverson.  


Shaq's team has got 12 MVP trophies winner, Jordan won most 5 times, LeBron James won 4 times, Kobe, AI and Shaq himself won the MVP trophy one time. 15 finals MVPs, Jordan won 6 times, LeBron James won 4 times, He recently won with the Lakers, Shaq won 3 times and Kobe Bryant won 2 times. AI never won the MVP trophy. They all selected for the 50 times All-NBA first team. 


The only shooter is not available in this team but they can fill a space of that shooter in their team with the presence of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and AI. They are all elite defender and scorer. They can create so many open spaces for other players and they have players who can score in sleep in open space.
