Los Angeles Lakers: Why the Lakers will be the NBA’s most electric team
By Jason Reed
1. The things the Lakers can do offensively are special
The first reason why the Los Angeles Lakers will be the most electric team in the NBA season is that the team can do things on the offensive side of the ball that other teams just can’t. And as you should know, fans love to see points and high-scoring games.
Leading the way is LeBron, a once in a lifetime player that is perhaps the most well-rounded basketball player that we have ever seen. LeBron is going to be the primary ball-handler and will make his teammates, which is typical.
What isn’t typical is his teammate in Anthony Davis. While LeBron has had some great teammates, he hasn’t quite had someone as good as Davis. At his best, Davis has the potential to be the absolute best player in the world and had the Giannis Antetokounmpo hype before Giannis actually had it.
The size yet skill and finesse that the Lakers have in their two superstars is truly something that we have never seen before. Throw in the fact that the front office has surrounded them with shooters and two centers with a ton of upside in JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard and the Lakers are set.
From pick and rolls to the rim to hitting each other at the three-point line, the Lakers truly can attack from anywhere on the court and are going to be frustrating to defend.
