Lebron james is now a contender for another championship. He is one of the ten best players in the nba at 39 years old. He has already won a contract with the los angeles lakers. However, james wants to continue preserving his legacy. Given his age, a fifth championship would most likely be his crowning achievement. James’ best chance of success is with the lakers, according to former nba champion kendrick perkins. The former boston celtics big man believes that the lakers superstar should leave los angeles in order to add to his legacy. “staying in los angeles is his best chance of winning a championship.”
We’ve got three out of four years of this anthony davis that we’ve been seeing this year. The lakers are a sight to behold. Lebron is a bloke. “antony davis is like eye candy,” perkins said. “this offseason, there’s going to be a change.” And then, all of a sudden, you begin to fill in the gaps…it’s perfect for him. We’re talking about the most famous franchise in sports history. One of them, you know. “well, one.” James has a player extension on his deal for next season. After the current season comes to a close, he will most likely make a decision on whether or not he will remain with the lakers.
Last season, the lakers advanced to the western conference finals. They believed they had further enhanced their roster this summer. Following his buy-out from the toronto raptors earlier this month, they also signed veteran guard spencer dinwiddie. The purple and gold have all the experience to be a contending team. In order to advance to the nba finals, they will most likely need to defeat at least one of the los angeles clippers, denver nuggets, and phoenix suns. The western conference is a triumvirate of contending-level teams. Despite that, james is still playing at an elite level and is a threat once the playoffs begin.
If he doesn’t win a championship this season, he’ll most likely give it another shot next season. However, his time in the league is running out. Perkins is correct, the lakers will need to prove it. They need to prove that lebron can still win with the current team. It’s unlikely that james will switch teams if the organization can do so. After all, los angeles has a lot to offer other than basketball, and his family is reportedly settled.
