Bron truly is having a special year this year. And it’s not just his age. We’ve never seen him shoot this well ever. He’s an impact defender. His playmaking is still legendary
The number 1 thing about the Lakers playoff chances is matchups. A lot people believe they can win against smaller higher seeded teams like OKC and LAC but also it’s a fact that they are one of the FEW FEW FEW teams who can play Denver close compared to other teams.
Getting into pure what if territory. If they make the Finals by either beating the Nugs or avoiding them imo they are most likely playing the Celtics or Bucks. Either LA’s historic arch nemesis or two living legends in Dame and Giannis.
The lowest seed ever to make a finals was the Knicks in the lowdown year followed by the Heat last year matching it. LA could have an even lower seed than that. Imagine winning the Finals as as a 9th seed.
Bron would have the greatest underdog win in NBA history. Greatest comeback. 5 rings with 3 teams. Oldest FMVP. Most points ever.
