In the absence of Luka Doncic, the Lakers started as favorites against the Dallas Mavericks. After all, LeBron James was back, and Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony were firing on all cylinders. Now taking part in his 19th NBA season, James has been there and done that. He has given rise to a fearless brand of basketball, filled with exuberance.

Over the years, only the Boston Celtics have matched LA’s success in the league. As things stand, Frank Vogel and Co. seem to be taking the right steps towards adding to the franchise’s tally.
