Lakers could bring back LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook core



 It’s been a tough season thus far for the Los Angeles Lakers. A lot has been made of the functionality of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook playing together. Westbrook has been the subject of many issues with the team this year, and many expected the Lakers to make a move at the deadline. Not only did Los Angeles stand pat, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelbourne, it’s possible this team runs it back next season.


Shelbourne appeared on the “Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective” podcast. She says “I’ve even, Brian, heard this phrasing… this is probably going to be the roster next year too.” She went on to say there will obviously be some changes with minimum contract players. But she was referencing James, Davis and Westbrook being back together.


James and Davis won the 2020 NBA Championship together during the shortened COVID-19 season. But this year has been far different. During the offseason, the Lakers traded for Westbrook. It was supposed to be a dominant big three. Both James and Davis have been plagued with injuries throughout the year.


Meanwhile, Westbrook has fallen out of the good graces of fans and pundits alike. His propensity to turn the ball over has forced Lakers coach Frank Vogel to bench him multiple times down the stretch.


Los Angeles has lost three straight and seven of their last nine games. They are 26-31 for the season, which puts them in ninth place in the Western Conference. They would just qualify for the Play-In Tournament.

Video Of How 'Fake Klay Thompson' Got Past The Warriors Security And Gets Shots On The Court

  The Golden State Warriors ended up winning Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and took a 3-2 lead in the series. It feels certain that the Dubs will win this series and win their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight years. While winning the finals will mean a lot for every player on the Dubs' roster, it will certainly mean more for Klay Thompson. Klay was sidelined due to injuries over the last two seasons and made a comeback this season. Finishing off the season with a ring will certainly be the cherry on top for him. Speaking of Klay Thompson, an incident took place around a certain lookalike of the Warriors' sharpshooter. We are sure you must remember the 'Fake Klay Thompson' who got famous a few years ago. Prior to Game 5 of the series, Fake Klay snuck into the Chase Center and got shots up before the matchup began. NBA fans found this hilarious, but it seems like the Warriors organization didn't. He was handed a lifetime ban from th...

  If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big.

Bill Russell Is Only The 5th NBA MVP To Pass Away After Kobe Bryant, Moses Malone, Wes Unseld, And Wilt Chamberlain

  The NBA just celebrated its 75th Anniversary last season, showing that the league is much younger than most of the major sports leagues worldwide. As a result, most of the legends of the game are still around and are allowing younger players to get first-hand advice from them.  Bill Russell was the most legendary player from the '60s and dominated the league by winning 11 championships in 13 years. He also won 5 NBA MVP awards in his era, proving that his defensive prowess is something that could catapult him to be an MVP despite never averaging more than 19 points a season.  Russell passed away yesterday and became only the 5th NBA MVP in history to pass away. The first one to do so was Wilt Chamberlain in 1999, followed by Moses Malone in 2015, Kobe Bryant and Wes Unseld in 2020, and now Russell in 2022. These are legends of the game, and it is heartbreaking to know that they aren't amongst us anymore. This observation was made by Reddit user u/WeaponFactory. Chamberl...
