LeBron James and Anthony Davis enjoyed a magical season together. In a summer lost to the coronavirus, no team loses more than the Lakers. (column by BillPlaschke)
LeBron James and the Lakers proved on Sunday that the team is capable of beating their crosstown rivals in the playoffs this season.Advertisement
“We some dawgs,” said JaVale McGee after that game, and wouldn’t you have liked to see those two teams playing later again this month? Wouldn’t a canceled season feel like a loss for the entire city? But make no mistake. Despite potential defections in other parts of their roster, the Clippers’ stars Leonard and Paul George are still under contract, still in their prime, and will have other chances.
For the current group of Lakers, this could be their best chance. For LeBron James, it could be his last chance. They deserve for their final shot to be followed by “I Love L.A.” They, instead, face the real possibility of it bouncing off the rim, falling helplessly to the court, and disappearing into an enduring silence.
