CelebnSports247.com has your first look at the 2021 – 2022 Lakers starters featuring LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis (AD) Carmelo Anthony (Melo), Rajon Rondo, and Dwight Howard.
The deck is stack with this group of men. The Lakers should go far with all this star power on one team.
Here is what LeBron and AD are saying about Westbrook:
Westbrook believes that James can help him become even better.
When you get a chance to play against one of the greatest players of all time and consistently, it helps my game. It helps my preparation, makes me focus more on the things I need to focus on to get to a point where I can sit down and say, ‘I’ve accomplished everything I can accomplish in this league and now I’m lucky enough to be able to play alongside him.’ So I’m looking forward to that, looking forward to the things we can accomplish here together this season.
LeBron told ESPN:
Right away, he ups our pace right away. He’s always in the top five as far as pace. Whatever team is what he with, so being able to get out and being able to get out on the break and be able to try to get some early buckets before the defense is set. That creates that. But also he’s just a flat-out playmaker. I think what a lot of people don’t talk about in his game is how unbelievable of a passer he is. Everyone sees the rebounds, everyone sees the scoring and things of that nature, but his passing, his ability to make guys around him better, that does not get talked about a lot. We all look forward to that, being his teammate.
AD had this to say about Westbrook joining the team:
Well, I think Russ wanted to come home, and we were able to get it done. No knock on last year’s team, because we don’t know how good we could have been with all the injuries. And when Russell reached out and said, that he wanted to come home, we found a way to make it work.
