1.) The Lakers win the 2019-2020 Championship
This by far should be the biggest thing on the Laker’s Christmas wish list. In fact, winning the Larry O’Brien trophy should be on the wish list of every single team in the NBA. Obviously not every team has a chance to make this wish come true, but the Lakers are one of the few teams that have a real shot to make it happen this year.
But winning a title doesn’t rely on wishing. It’s done through teamwork, commitment, perseverance, and sheer will. The path to the championship this season is absolutely stacked with talented teams in both conferences, and it’s going to take another legendary playoff run by LeBron James to make getting number four a reality.
The Lakers have one of the most devastating two-way punches in the league, one of the best-ranked offenses and defenses in the league, and a roster comprised of players who have all been a part of deep playoff runs.
Santa Claus isn’t going to deliver the Larry O’Brien trophy down the chimney, the Lakers are going to have to take it.
