Fox Sports’ NBA Analyst Colin Cowherd has made a prediction on Los Angeles Lakers' Championship season.
Lakers have been leaders of the competition since the start of the season. However, last week they have received a huge blow, with one the best defensive players, Avery Bradley, announcing he would not take part in the NBA return due to personal reasons.
And Cowherd believes the absence of the NBA player could become one of the main reasons why Lakers will not win the title this year.
He said:
“LeBron is not gonna win the championship. Is everybody forgetting that Avery Bradley is their third-best defensive player and that he would have been on the floor in the final minutes of these playoff games.
So now what it comes down to is more on LeBron’s shoulders. We’ve seen that happen six times in the NBA finals, and he’s lost each one.”
