LeBron James won his 4th ring with the LA Lakers, after being locked up with 21 other teams in the Orlando Bubble. He has arguably the 2nd best player in the league as his wingman. The Lakers then went on to improve further this offseason by adding the reigning 6th Man of the Year Montrezl Harrell and the runner-up for the same award Dennis Schroeder. Barring any injuries they will likely win again this year and if they just keep this team intact one could very well see them winning another in the next couple of seasons.Â
