Los Angeles Lakers 2018-19 Season Preview: Showtime Or Facade?

Much has been made of the Lakers acquisition of LeBron James, and rightfully so. He’s the best player ever. He’s (somehow) still getting better at age 33 and extending his prime to unprecedented lengths. Los Angles is one of the epicenters for basketball, and the Lakers are arguably the league’s most historic franchise.

It’s like a match made in heaven. The perfect place for one of the game’s greats to finish his career. The perfect moment for the franchise to recapture it’s winning culture.

There’s a hunger in Los Angeles. They haven’t had a winning season in five years.
