On February 2, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. Earlier today, former NBA star Oakley was interviewed about Lakers superstar James.
The Lakers have not done well this season, and there seems to be little hope for a championship at the moment. In response, Oakley said: "James definitely wants to get another championship trophy before retiring, but he is currently having a hard time achieving his goals at the Lakers, so he is likely to leave Los Angeles, he has left twice, he will leave again." "So where is James most likely to go if he leaves the Lakers?" Oakley was blunt about returning to the Cavaliers.
Oakley said of the Lakers' difficulties: "This Lakers team now has a lot of problems, Westbrook's integration is not good, too many injuries, the lineup is not reasonable, and so on. In my opinion, James playing center can solve the problem of some teams attacking, but their defense is really poor. Anyway, the Lakers can't win, at least not this year, and I don't see any hope of winning in them. ”
In addition, Oakley also talked about THE GOAT (The Best Player of All Time). He said: "Jordan is undoubtedly GOAT, but I would put James second, he has always been a player I like. The host asked, "Is it James and not Kobe?" Oakley said, "No, no, Kobe is not as good as Jordan and James." ”
Oakley played for the Bulls, Knicks, Raptors, Wizards and Rockets in his career, and was once named to the All-Star Team and the All-Defensive First Team.
