Lebron James takes the Lakers to the NBA Cup Finals and hungers for another trophy

Lebron James was a major contributor to the Los Angeles Lakers advancing to the finals of the newly formed NBA Cup after they dispatched New Orleans 133-89 on their home floor. In the finals, they will face Indiana, who knocked out the favored Milwaukee on its home court (119:128).

Lebron James again

Lebron actually gave his standard performance – he had 5 rebounds and 8 assists to go with his 30 points. Considering that after 20 seasons in the NBA, no basketball player has ever averaged 10 points per game, it is almost unbelievable that in his twenty-first season, he is once again hitting the 30-point per game mark. It just goes to show how special he is.

In fact, there will always be questions like whether Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul – Jabbar or just Lebron James is a better player. It’s hard to compare, after all, as in any sport, especially when each played in a different era. However, James is already one of the legends of the sport.

Anyway, the Lakers were in control of the game the entire game. They had six players with double-digit points on their side. The Pelicans, on the other hand, struggled. The best scorer Trey Murphy scored only 14 points and practically nobody supported him.

So James is going after another trophy, which of course he doesn’t have in his collection yet. The player himself admits that the NBA’s intention to come up with something new and attractive to revive the competition has been successful. Teams will try a little one-game elimination playoff in this tournament, where it’s either or. The prize money is of course interesting for the winning team, as each player from the winning team will receive half a million dollars, which is about 11 million crowns.

The other finalist is the Indiana Pacers

The famous Los Angeles Lakers club, somewhat surprisingly, will not challenge the Milwaukee Bucks, who lost at home to Indiana, in the finals. However, it has to be said that they deserved it. On the home team’s side, the biggest star Janis Adetokumbo dominated the game, scoring 40 points.
