<p>It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by emotion when you do something people said you wouldn’t be able to do, especially if that’s making the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Finals. </strong>However, this time,<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers’</a> star <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James </a>looked unfazed.</strong></p>
<p>If someone’s used to reaching this stage that’s definitely LeBron. The King will be making his <strong>10th trip to the NBA Finals</strong>, and the 9th in the past 10 years, which seemed impossible in the modern basketball era.</p>
<p>However, this time feels completely different. There was no celebration, no joy, no laughter, not a single pad in the back. This time, <strong>LeBron James won’t allow himself to feel anything at all until it’s all said and done.</strong></p>

<p>It’s clear that James has been on a mission since the start of the season but he took it up a notch once his friend and idol <strong>Kobe Bryant </strong>passed away on January 26th. Now, he’s got an even bigger responsibility on his shoulders.</p>
<h2>LeBron Says The Lakers Have Bigger Fish To Fry</h2>
<p><em><strong>“We understand we got bigger fish to fry. </strong>We understand there’s a bigger goal but we can’t take this for granted because this doesn’t happen every year to anybody,”</em> the 35-year-old forward said after the game.</p>

<p>People doubted LeBron. They said he wouldn’t be able to make the Finals in the West. They said he was washed, that he couldn’t play defense anymore, and that there was no way he could lead the Lakers back to basketball’s ultimate stage. Once again, the kid from Akron delivered. This time, for an even bigger purpose. <strong>For the Black Mamba.</strong></p>

LeBron James posts Kobe Bryant-ish message with the NBA Finals in mind

LeBron James posts Kobe Bryant-ish message with the NBA Finals in mind - Bolavip US

<p>It’s been a rough start of the 2020<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> season</strong>, to say the least. Through two weeks, we’ve already witnessed countless injuries, many of them with the players done for the season, asit happened to <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-giants-t101798" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Giants’</strong> </a>superstar<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl/Top-10-running-backs-to-watch-in-2020-NFL-season-20200709-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saquon Barkley.</a></strong></p>
<p>The former second overall pick, which is considered by much as the best running back in the league right now, sustained <strong>an ACL injury </strong>in the second quarter of his team’s loss to the <strong>Chicago Bears</strong> and will miss the remainder of the season.</p>
<p>This was a major blow for the Giants’ aspirations in the division, as even though <strong>Daniel Jones </strong>has looked much better in thisfirst couple of games, there’s just no way they can compete with the <strong>Dallas Cowboys</strong> without their superstar running back, even if they get him a solid replacement like<strong> Devonta Freeman.</strong></p>

<p>Kobe was known around the sports community for his resiliency and constant desire to compete at the highest level while inspiring those who came behind him. In fact, he overcame that very same injury towards the sunset of his career and proved all those who thought he couldn’t play anymore<strong> that he was still an elite athlete.</strong></p>

<p>Hopefully, that’ll also be the case with Saquon Barkley once he’s back at full strength and <strong>ready to suit up again.</strong> Those kinds of kneeinjuries can be devastating for a career, especially if the players shy away from the contact out of fear of getting hurt again.</p>

Saquon Barkley pays the ultimate tribute to Kobe Bryant following ACL injury

Saquon Barkley pays the ultimate tribute to Kobe Bryant following ACL injury - Bolavip US

<p>It’s funny how drastically things can change in the blink of an eye. The decisions we make can have a toll on the way we think of or know about anything, and that’s what happened when <strong>Kevin Garnett shook the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> by joining the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/boston-celtics-t101837" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Celtics</a> in 2007.</strong></p>
<p>Garnett tried to lead the <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves</strong> to an NBA championship but constantly fell short of the goal as the team’s management failed to surround him by elite talent. Then, it was clear that they had to hit the panic button and rebuild, while <em>The Big Ticket</em> could still join a contending team to fulfill his dream of winning a championship.</p>
<p>However, things could have been pretty different back then, as<strong> Ray Allen r</strong>ecently confessed in <strong>James Posey’s podcast</strong> that he was the one who convinced Garnett to join the Celtics, as he had actually<strong> agreed to be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers to join forces with Kobe Bryant.</strong></p>

But Danny Ainge came up to me later in the summer saying we might have something brewing with KG,” </em>Allen said. <em>“So I got on the phone with Kevin and I was like ‘we would love you here, this is a great situation and I’m excited’. <strong>It helped him because we knew each other growing up and he knew it was going to be a new situation for all of u</strong>s,” </em>he added.</p>

<p>This move ended up altering the course of history as we know it. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/nba-big-three-every-team-best-trio-since-2000-20200804-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Garnett and the Celtics </a>beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals to add to their league-leading <strong>17 Larry O’Brien trophies.</strong></p>

<p>Later on, they rematched in 2010, this time with the Lakers ending on top. But if Garnett had joined the Purple and Gold, it’s likely that not only the Celtics hadn’t made it to the Finals in 2008 but also that Kobe would have won a second three-peat <strong>and tying Michael Jordan with 6. Perhaps, history would rank him even higher after that.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Shaquille O’Neal</strong> is considered by a lot of people as the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-15-Greatest-NBA-Players-of-All-Time-20200329-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most dominant</a> big man in<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> NBA </a>history </strong>and for very good reasons. He won 4 NBA championships, 3 Finals MVP, 2 Scoring titles, 1 MVP, 1 Rookie of the Year, and 3 All-Star MVPs.</p>
<p>It’s pretty safe to state that Shaq was surrounded by greatness throughout the course of his entire career. From <strong>Hardaway</strong> in the Orlando Magic to <strong>Kobe</strong> in the Los Angeles Lakers, <strong>Wade </strong>in the Miami Heat, and<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron</a></strong> in the Cleveland Cavaliers.</p>
<p>That’s why, even though he may have quite a difficult time choosing just the four best of his greatest teammates but even so, most people would agree that those 4 we mentioned should make the cut. Then again, <strong>Shaq isn’t most people.</strong></p>

<h2>Shaq Chooses Robert Horry Over LeBron James</h2>
<p>Shaq attended the DangerTalk Podcast with <strong>Russell Wilson</strong> and revealed his Mt. Rushmore of former teammates, going with <strong>Penny Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and – surprisingly – Robert Horry.</strong></p>
<p>Hardaway and Shaq <strong>led the Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals in 1995</strong> and were one of the flashiest duos in the league during their time together. As for Kobe, <strong>they won three straight championships </strong>and put together one of the most dominant dynasties in modern basketball history.</p>
<p>An aging Shaq joined Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat and played a big role<strong> in that 2006 NBA championship, </strong>the first in franchise history, although it was the first time that he wasn’t named Finals MVP.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Robert Horry played a huge role in the Lakers’ three-peat. His suffocating and pesky defense were among the best in the league and the guy had a feel for knocking down huge shots in the clutch. <strong>He also won 7 NBA championships</strong> through his career,so we get why he must hold him invery high regard.</p>
<p>Then again, considering Shaq <strong><a href="http://us.bolavip.com/nba/Ranking-the-top-40-of-LeBron-James-teammates-from-worst-to-best-NBA-20200527-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said he wanted to ‘Win a ring for the King’</a> in Cleveland</strong> and comparing LeBron’s path to Horry, it’s kind of head-scratching to see him snubbed of his Mt. Rushmore.</p>

Shaquille O'Neal snubs LeBron James from his Mt. Rushmore of 4 greatest teammates

<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong> have had to endure the tough loss of <strong>Kobe Bryant</strong>, arguably the greatest icon in franchise history and one of the most beloved and respected players to ever set foot on a basketball hardwood. Up to this day, the basketball community still can’t fathom the fact that he’s no longer among us.</p>
<p>Kobe’s life was lost on January 26 along with his daughter <strong>Gianna <em>‘Gigi’ </em>Bryant </strong>and 7 other people on a helicopter crash. The Lakers, as well as countless sports franchises around the world, honored him in a high note in the following weeks.</p>
<p>Now, the purple and gold will turn intoblack-and-yellow, as the team is slated to honor the late idol with some <em>‘Black Mamba’ </em>alternate jerseys for Game 4 of the first round of the <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> playoffs vs. the <strong>Portland Trail Blazers, </strong>which will take place on August 24 (8/24, the two numbers Kobe wore during his career with the Lakers).</p>

They’ve dedicated the season to him and want to put the cherry on top of the sundae <strong>by winning the NBA championship.</strong></p>
<p>Kobe meant the world for the city, the organization, and the Lakers’ culture. In fact, <strong>it’s been 24 years since </strong>the Lakers last won a playoff game that didn’t feature the <em>Black Mamba</em> on their team.</p>
