lebron has anthony davis, who hasn't quite proven he's at that level, but he's well on his way. just a little more tutelage under lebron and he may go down as being a better 2 than pippen. i'm excited to find out, so let's get this season back on track already!
- moate 6y agoThe major difference being that Labron is 35, which is how old MJ was in the 98 season. That was the end of the bulls, but really just the start of Lakers Labron. Jordan did diddly after that season (in part because he was stupid and injured himself with a cigar cutter).
- clairity 6y agolebron has at least 3 more good years left. unlike jordan, lebron doesn't have to deal with a jerry krause dismantling the team out from under him. if AD rises at the same pace lebron declines, it's many more exciting years for the lakers. with that said, zion and the lakers-b-team pelicans are the most exciting thing in basketball right now. brandon ingram made no sense as a #2 to lebron, but he's blossoming in new orleans next to zion, jrue holiday, and an also-revitalized lonzo ball.
