Los Angeles Lakers: Rondo is in the Big 3 in win over Heat, 4 Lessons
By Ronald Agers
LeBron James will lead the Los Angeles Lakers to the NBA title. Our guess is on Tuesday night!
This question is to all the ballplayers that have taken their ladies out to the park to watch them play basketball. Can you relate to this?
LeBron James is playing like the guy at the park that is on a day-long winning streak. His team is not going to lose, but his girl is bored and wants to go home. He then says two more games and then we can go.
Welcome to LeBron James’ focus in the NBA Finals!
LeBron James wants to get out of the bubble and back to Los Angeles in the worst way. Will he say it? Nope. But his play shows that he told his wife Miss Savannah, two more games and we are out.
Lake Show Life Lessons is not about stats and analytics because narratives are skewed. Most other sports outlets will talk about his near triple-doubles. In this post-game series, it means very little. See, the last time LeBron had a triple-double, the Lakers lost and he did not play well.
Since then, LeBron has just missed triple-doubles three games in a row, but it was probably his best three games of the season. This game definitely qualifies.
LeBron James destroyed the Heat with a stat line of 33 points, 9 rebounds (2 offensive!) and 9 assists. He’s not turning the ball over anymore either. He had zero.
But it’s the focus and leadership that is dominating this series. It’s not about the stats. This series has turned into the ultimate business trip. He is not walking out of the bubble without the Larry O’Brien trophy and has inspired AD, Dwight Howard, Alex Caruso and the entire roster to follow his lead.
Not only is he being the quarterback on offense, he calling out the Heat’s offense to his teammates on defense!
Note to Ms. Savannah James from Lake Show Life…Start packing. The series will be over on Tuesday night.
Speaking of leaders, Rajon Rondo sees the light at the end of the tunnel. Sure the writer thought Rajon Rondo was done and Playoff Rondo was myth. OOPS!
