I Have Proof That LeBron James And Anthony Davis Are RIGHT: Lakers CAN Contend

The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the most scrutinized teams this NBA season, with analysts and fans debating their legitimacy as title contenders. While some believe their age, inconsistency, and injury concerns make them an unlikely championship threat, LeBron James and Anthony Davis have remained steadfast in their belief that the Lakers can compete for a title.

And now, the numbers and recent performances back them up—the Lakers CAN contend, and here’s why.

1. LeBron James Is Still Elite at 39

LeBron James continues to defy Father Time in ways no other player has. At age 39, he is still putting up All-NBA-level numbers, proving that he remains one of the league’s best.

Current stats: Averaging 25+ PPG, 7+ RPG, 7+ APG with elite efficiency.
Shooting Efficiency: Career-best numbers from three-point range and still dominant in transition.
Impact: The Lakers are dramatically better with LeBron on the floor, and his leadership remains unmatched.

As long as LeBron is healthy and playing at this level, the Lakers have a legitimate shot against any team in the league.

2. Anthony Davis: A Defensive Monster

While injuries have always been a concern for Anthony Davis, when healthy, he has played at a Defensive Player of the Year level.

Defensive Anchor: AD ranks among the top shot blockers and paint defenders in the league.
Offensive Dominance: Averaging 25+ PPG, 12+ RPG, and playing an expanded offensive role.
Matchup Nightmare: His ability to play both inside and outside makes him a nightmare for opposing bigs.

If Davis stays healthy through the postseason, he gives the Lakers an elite two-way presence that few teams can match.

3. Depth and Improved Role Players

Unlike previous seasons, this Lakers squad has a deeper, more well-rounded supporting cast.

Austin Reaves: A legitimate playmaker and shot creator who shines in big moments.
D’Angelo Russell: When locked in, he provides much-needed scoring and floor spacing.
Rui Hachimura & Christian Wood: Key defensive and offensive contributors who add versatility to the roster.
Jarred Vanderbilt & Cam Reddish: Elite wing defenders who give the Lakers an edge in key matchups.

This balanced roster gives the Lakers multiple ways to match up with different opponents, something they lacked in past seasons.

4. The Western Conference is Wide Open

The Lakers’ path to a title is not impossible because the Western Conference is more open than people think.

Denver Nuggets: Still the team to beat, but not invincible—Lakers played them tough in last year’s WCF.
Phoenix Suns: Dealing with injury issues and inconsistency.
Golden State Warriors: Aging core and defensive struggles.
Clippers, Mavericks, Timberwolves: Talented teams but not unbeatable in a playoff series.

If the Lakers peak at the right time, they have the star power and experience to take down any team in a seven-game series.
