Continuing with my sports team analysts, the next team on the block is the LA Lakers. Los Angeles is currently in 8th in the western conference of the NBA, and they will surely not win the NBA title. Why one may ask? Well, I will give you the top 5 reasons.
1.) Kobe Bryant is as selfish of a player as they come. Yes, he is a 5 time NBA champion, and yes he is an all-star, but he is just way to selfish. With acquisition of Steve Nash, Kobe should be letting Nash dish out the ball to the open players, rather than Kobe trying to do everything himself.
2.) The LA Lakers have had far to many injuries. With key players such as Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard missing many games, it is hard to be consistent on the court.
3.) Dwight Howard not living up to his potential is another reason the Lakers won't win. In Orlando, he was an all-star, however since coming to LA he is mediocre at best. And his free throws... terrible!
4.) The Lakers bench is far too weak to reach the depth in the playoffs that is needed to reach the finals.
5.) The LA Lakers are a slow paced, aging team. Most of their starting line-up, for example, is over the age of 30! The Lakers need to acquire some new, young talent.
Even though the Lakers do have a playoff spot, it would be safe to say that they will be extremely lucky to even make it past the first round of playoffs in the NBA.
