Heading into the 2020-21 season there were mixed thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers’ chances of winning the NBA championship. There were questions about the supporting cast, whether LeBron James was now too old or Anthony Davis could shine on the biggest of stages.
And there was also doubt surrounding head coach Frank Vogel, who wasn’t the Lakers’ first choice, and whether he could lead a team to the highest level.
All of those were answered throughout the season and as things went on, the Lakers did emerge as one of the championship favorites, ultimately capturing that NBA title.
