The NBA has so much talent right now, a lot of it coming in pairs. The LA Lakers have LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The LA Clippers have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. The Houston Rockets have James Harden and Russell Westbrook. The Dallas Mavericks have Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis.
The biggest problem with all of these names and star pairings is that they’re all on one side of the NBA playoff bracket. It is no secret that the West has been significantly stronger than the East for years, but this year might possibly have the biggest disparity ever between the two conferences.
