    I think it’s cause of Lebron being all up in his face, he really looks down

    Shai gilgeous Alexander is a much more efficient and a better basketball player than Luka doncic.

    Everyone keeps speaking about the lack of a Center for the Lakers as a way to discredit their title aspirations.
    Which is odd because outside of Jokic, no NBA champion of the last 20 years has had a top 5 center in the league.
    So the ‘not having a Center’ point is a bit redundant and irrelevant.

    This Laker is not the Lakers before OKC or other team never face Lbj and Luka together!
