Coming into the 2019-20 NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers were considered one of the favorites to win the 2020 NBA Finals, but very few could have predicted the level at which they have played so far this season.
Now at the halfway point of the season, Los Angeles is on pace to win 66 games with the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis being better than advertised and head coach Frank Vogel turning this team into a beast on both ends of the floor.
James’ switch over to point guard full-time has been seamless as he is leading the league in assists by a sizable margin and is one of the leading candidates for the 2019-20 NBA Most Valuable Player award.
