It won’t be an easy task to win the championship, though, especially with multiple teams around the NBA forming ‘super-teams’ to compete for the title next season. Despite being 37 years old, many expect LeBron James to still play at a high level and help the LA Lakers land their record 18th championship.
He has players like Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook along with a 37-year old Carmelo Anthony alongside him, which has raised the bar and pressure for LeBron to deliver the Purple and Gold their second title in three seasons.
Chris Broussard claims LeBron James has a “built-in excuse” if he doesn’t win the NBA title next season
As always, there has been constant debate between fans and analysts regarding LeBron James’ ability to win another chip, especially after the LA Lakers’ disappointing 2021 NBA Playoffs campaign.
NBA analyst Chris Broussard recently spoke on “First Things First” about LeBron James’ expectations for next season and believes he will have an “excuse” ready if he fails to win the championship. Here’s what Broussard said:
LeBron James, regardless of his age, has continued to dominate the league in recent years. Last season wasn’t the best because of injuries to key players in the LA Lakers squad, including James and Davis. They have a much better squad on paper than the majority of teams in the West, and one can expect to see the Lakers play the finals next season.
The LA Lakers’ biggest threat this season could be the Brooklyn Nets, who have a ‘big-three’ comprising Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden in their squad. The Nets are the odds-on favorite ahead of the Lakers to win the championship next season.
