Lakers Spin in the Wild NBA Poll!…
Hold onto your basketballs, folks, because the Los Angeles Lakers have danced their way into The Athletic’s annual anonymous NBA player poll! This isn’t just any ol’ survey, it’s the candor carnival where players spill the beans like a dunking elephant, all under the cloak of invisibility. Voted on everything from MVP of the stars to who wears the championship crown the best, these players unleashed their judgment like a high-speed alley-oop! Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leaped like a gazelle to MVP leads, but ah, fear not, King LeBron wasn’t far behind, even snagging 1.3% like a crafty court wizard at age 40!
Now, beam up your space-age hoop dreams and make way for the championship chatter! The Lakers flexed their muscles and pulled in 6.6% of the vote, grabbing the fourth spot like a cheeky cat in a grand slam hockey game! The Celtics, Thunder, and Cavaliers may lead the pack, but the Purple and Gold are lurking like a stealthy panther ready to pounce! Meanwhile, as the behind-the-scenes kingpins debate the best organization, our Lakers carved out a piece of that pie too at 5.1%โthough the Warriors rode in like an army on golden chariots, claiming the lion’s share!
But wait, folks, there’s more! The face of the league after the age of LeBron and Curry? Enter stage left, our very own Luka Doncic with his magical 2.9%! Though young Wembanyama of the Spurs hogged the spotlight like a birthday clown at a kid’s party! And holy sneaker squeak, would you look at JJ Redick, snagging a spot as the 10th best coach with his win-crazy antics! If he keeps whipping up wins like pancakes, who knows where he’ll end up! And remember, LeBron’s all about that playoff magic, as he trades regular-season drama for that sweet postseason swag! BAM, thatโs basketball, baby!
