Los Angeles Lakers: Five things on the team’s Christmas wish list
By Ethan Temkin
With the holiday season well underway, and Christmas day fast approaching, let’s put on our Santa Claus hat and look at the wish list of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Christmas Day is perhaps the best time to be an NBA and Los Angeles Lakers fan; you get to spend time with the family, open presents and binge-watch basketball all day. What more could you want? The Christmas Day schedule is packed with great games, but the marquee match-up will unquestionably be the Lakers taking on the LA Clippers.
These two teams are currently the favorites to win the West, and both sides are eager to show the other why they’re the best team in LA. The first bout between these two teams resulted in a Clippers victory, but that was opening night, where everyone was a little rusty, especially LeBron James.
But Anthony Davis came out and said on First Take that we were going to be seeing a different LeBron James this time around, and given how great the team has played since opening night, we should be inclined to believe him.
But back to the matter at hand, it’s Christmas time, that means wish lists, family functions, and NBA basketball. With Christmas, comes wish lists, and everyone has one, regardless of whether you’re an NBA player, fan, or blog writer.
However, because the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t a living entity, we’re going to go ahead and make their Christmas wish list for them.
