Poor the GOAT within the face of a administration that didn’t strengthen the staff when the entire NBA did. They have LeBron James and the Lakers may even beat the latter.
The solely factor conserving the Los Angeles Lakers from being out of the NBA Play-In is that their direct rivals – Portland Path Blazzers, New Orleans Pelicans and San Antonio Spurs – misplaced their video games that day and, though they appear to be worse than them, they actually aren’t.
