The last time Los Angeles Lakers they played a tie of Playoffs, Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant They were part of his staff. It was the year of the 'Big Four' with Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. An experiment that fails after falling in the first round of the fight for the title against the San Antonio Spurs. Lebron James He will take the ring with the Miami Heat before returning to Cleveland. Y Anthony Davis He was still a rookie. Now, the two lead a franchise that has returned to the stage of greatness that I should never have lost.

These seven years of crossing the desert have been too many for a franchise accustomed to relating to the titles. But now, LeBron James through, have returned.

They do it in a special season for all that the goodbye of Kobe Bryant, and with the impossibility of trying to close with a ring the most difficult year in the history of the franquica.

Yesterday they beat in Milwaukee, House of Giannis Antetokounmpo, in a warning, at least, of what could be a NBA final. LeBron was superior to the Greek, and although in Playoffs everything was different, the match left details to point to the qualifiers. The first and most important: no, LeBron is not alone. Don't be 'James against the world'.

Anthony Davis is a superstar, and as a superstar I played against the Bucks. At 37 points, eight rebounds and eight assists of '23', Davis added 30 points, 25 of them in the second half and four to stretch the tight 97-103 to cmo 99-107. In the end, 103-113 against some Bucks in which only Giannis exceeded 20 points (32 + 11 + 6), and suffered from the three-point line, especially Middleton, second on board the 'Greek Freak': 2 of 10 from the line of three, insufficient tonight and insufficient in qualifying for the title against any of the two teams of Los Angeles.

LeBron and the coronavirus: “If there is no public, I don't play”

“I came here to put this franchise back where it had to be. That was one of my responsibilities. One of my goals,” said LeBron, referring to the presence of the Lakers again in the Playoffs. The star was also questioned about the coronavirus epidemic, already present in the United States, and about the possibility of having to play games behind closed doors: “No, it's impossible. If there's no public, I don't play. It's what I play for. I play for the fans of the stands. I play for my teammates and I play for them. That's what this is all about. If I get to the pavilion and there are no fans there? I don't play. So they can do whatever they want, “he told the press .
