Will LeBron James and the Lakers Repeat in 2021?

The Lakers had an incredible run in the bubble as they won their 17 NBA title. But can LeBron James, Anthony Davis & Co. run it back? The Crossover staff makes early predictions.

I’m going with yes. Anybody who was in the bubble with me can tell you my predictions are spotty at best. And this is a tricky exercise because we don’t really know what rosters will look like. So why pick the Lakers? For me it just comes down to this: If you assume Anthony Davis will re-sign (and I do assume that) then the Lakers will bring back the strength of their team: Davis and LeBron James.
