CAN THE LAKERS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP THIS SEASON?

Now that Anthony Davis, Lebron James and Russell Westbrook were teammates, the big question is can they win a championship right away? the world was shocked of this news, three of the most dominant players, probably all of them were on top ten best players on the league right now. The question is can they co-exist? will there be a chemistry issues? We all know that both Lebron and Russell are ball dominant and they need the ball in order to create big plays, are they going to compliment each other? Russell Westbrook have a history with Kevin Durant about who is going to handle the ball during the late stage of the ball game, will this problem occur in this new Laker team? 

Is the showtime back? is Anthony Davis going to be 100 percent healthy this season? Is Lebron James already washed up? these are the few puzzles that Lakers should solve if they want to have a serious title run again this season. And one more thing, is their bench enough to give some relief when the stars can't produce anymore because of fatigue or injuries?

We all know what Russell Westbrook is a dynamic player with relentless work ethic that can hurt or carry the team, sometimes his passion is not helping because of forcing too much plays. Will Lebron James allow this? can he play like a triple double machine like he always did? 

IS LEBRON JAMES A WASHED UP PLAYER ALREADY?

This was a hot debate in the internet right now, was Lebron James a washed up player already? was he already past his prime? is he really relying one the strength of Anthony Davis to get the 4th to sixth ring to eclipse Michael Jordan's greatness? We all know that the self-proclaimed goat has still has some fire left in his tank and he can still dunk a reverse power jam but that's it. He can no longer defend, he's the worst 2 way player we've ever seen last season. He can no longer beat Paul George and Kawhi Leonard as the best 2 way player in the NBA. We've seen him always tiring during the toughest stretch of a pressure ball game and is no longer defending the perimeter. We even see him blaming his teammates just to sway the attention of media from him.

But we all know that he can still average 28ppg and 7 rebounds in sleep but the question is... does he have an extra gear for the playoffs like what we use to see from him before? can he still carry the Los Angeles Lakers to western conference finals? Kawhi Leonard has a very strong momentum on him and according to his uncle Kawhi was so happy in this stage of his career. This is a bad new for the Lakers, Paul George on the other hand is willing to become the second option and be Kawhi's right hand. Plus the Los Angeles Clippers is loaded with dirty players like Patrick Beverly who can injure a star player during playoffs (remember what he did with Russell Westbrook) and Lou Williams who doesn't care about defenders during 4th quarter, Lou Williams is even more clutch than Lebron James and he can score 10 plus points in 4th quarter easily. 

A KING IS A KING

Lebron James is still the king, we all know that but his mileage was already too high and it's questionable if he has that MJ's mentality in him, if he can't win a championship this season then Anthony Davis might leave him. But it's too early to say that, a king is a king, Lebron is still a winner, he has that basketball smarts that was unprecedented and he has a body of a raging football player that can force anyone. He still that experience and name in him, he can still sell calls and control the whole game if he wants to. He will never be a 4 time MVP for nothing, it ll depends on how healthy he is.

Most people were laughing at Lebron James now because they don't believe in him anymore but the power is still in Lebron's hands. He is the only one who knows if he still has it or not.

I personally believe that Lebron can still play but I don't know if he can still win one championship, what do you think guys? please leave a comment below. 

NBA MVP RACE

The 2018 NBA MVP race is getting tighter and tighter, the star players were all showing off what they are capable of doing. So many young talents were proving the league that they belong. Injuries and slumps are making some players go lower on the ranking. This is just the temporary ranking, this will change during the playoffs series:

1. James Harden. The Houston Rockets is leading the league in standings, Harden is the leading scorer of the league. His clutch plays and play making ability prove the league that he is the number one, although Chris Paul is injured sometimes... he still manage to carry his team, Rockets is the favorite to win the finals because they have a player that can carry them up to the final quarter of the game.

2. Lebron James. Lebron is averaging almost triple double this season, he prove the league once more that he doesn't need a robin to reach the playoffs, although the Cavs is only sitting third in the east... they are still a force to reckoned with. At his age, Lebron James can still carry the team and lead them to finals once more.

3. Anthony Davis. Even though Demarcus Cousins is injured and will be out for the remaining of the season... Anthony Davis prove once more that he can carry the league and put them into playoffs. He leads his team in points and rebounds and also in blocks, he is a work horse and his numbers are very scary, his numbers is the evidence that they can reach the second round in playoffs.

4. Kevin Durant. Durant is still one of the league's pure scorers, the Warriors is only in a second place right now that's why his rank is low, I'm pretty sure that when the warriors swept some teams in the playoffs then his rank will go high again.

5. Damian Lillard. Blazers is the most improved team this year, thanks to Damian's scoring prowess and clutch play making ability. His rank will continue to rise especially when they pass the first round playoffs for the first time in how many years.
