WHY ARE THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS THE BEST TEAM IN THE NBA!!!??

Don't sleep on the Utah Jazz.

I don't see them in the finals this year.  I predict Utah vs Bklyn (or 76ers if Embiid is back)

Through the first few weeks of the season, the Lakers are 11-3, have the fourth-best offensive rating, the best defensive rating, and the best net rating in the league. They are one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the league and have two of the top 5 early-season candidates for the NBA MVP award.

The defending champs are the team to beat

I only followed them because flea from the red hot chilli peppers constantly wore a Lakers gernsey. 

But all I know is Majik Johnson, and that he got aids, and Kobe Bryant, and that he doesn’t relate to lazy people, and now Lebron James, and now that he’s injured. That’s all I know. 

I seen flea play the anthem on his bass at the basket ball a few times and the chilli peppers has a song about Majik Johnson and the lakers of their mother’s milk ablum.. 

That’s all I know.. I’ve never actually watched a whole game of basket ball.. I prefer to watch tennis and my icons like Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, Novak and Roger and other player as well. I love the tennis. 

Who cares ? the tv ratings prove that they are in serious trouble ,

I’m ur best friend 

Most NBA teams are lucky to have one superstar player and then four other good starters. Normally their bench is made up of supporting players who might have been starters at one point, but now are only useful for limited minutes. However, the Lakers spent big money to get several starters and two superstar players in LBJ and AD. You could split this team up and have two good teams. The only other team with more superstar players is the Nets, but they have a more normal bench. The Lakers are heavily the favorites to win another championship because they are stacked with talent. The commissioner probably should have stepped in and stopped this from happening to help keep the teams more fair. In the past, the basketball commissioner would not allow a team to be made up of all-star players or so heavily stacked with talent by way of free agency. It is different if the team drafts well and ends up with a super team, but buying up all the best players is something we used to only see the Yankees do in baseball and not something that was allowed in basketball. Many people who are not fans of the Lakers think they are cheating. The Lakers have the best team because they bought the best players to create this super team.

They bought and paid for the best players.

They are tied for the most championships with 17, and by far the most since the 70’s. They have had some of the best players ever such as Kareem, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, Wilt, LeBron, West, Baylor, Worthy, Mikan, and Anthony Davis if he continues. That’s just to name a few. They also have had a lot of great players at the end of their career play for them such as Karl Malone and Steve Nash. Throughout the decades for the most part the Lakers have always stayed relevant as opposed to most other teams which fade away after a while but the Lakers keep coming back. They have 8 MVPs and they have a good chance of repeating as champions this year as well, not to mention they have to play in the western conference which is always tough.
