With James leading the team to force a city back in G4 and let the series continue again, although no team has completed a counterattack after falling behind 0-3 before, as a giant team, the dynasty team with James still has a crisis for the Nuggets, after all, no team has ever completed a counterattack in the case of 1-3 down, but James has proved his greatness with a legend. Not only that, last season, when the Celtics were down 0-3, they forced themselves into the tiebreaker, and although they fell short, the team that had fallen behind 0-3 still saw the possibility of counterattacking and even dragging the series into an important factor that was more favorable to themselves.
Recently, Howard recently talked about his old teammate LeBron James on his podcast, and he said that if the Lakers can beat the Nuggets and win the championship, James will surpass Jordan and become the GOAT!
"Jordan is the GOAT, but if LeBron and the Lakers beat the Nuggets and win the championship, LeBron should be the GOAT! Think about what he's done this season, he's got 40,000 points, 11,000 rebounds, 11,000 assists in his career, and he was ranked 10th, 11th, or even 12th in the West, and then they won the championship? Oh my gosh, what is this not the GOAT?" Howard said.
Howard's remarks also aroused heated public opinion again. After all, the topic of the first person in the league has always been extremely controversial, but as the god of basketball, even after James reached the 411 project, he still did not shake Jordan's status, which is also the common call of most people, however, in such a sensitive period, as a former Warcraft, James's former teammate, in the case of the Lakers about to be out, Howard's explosive remarks will undoubtedly cause controversy again.
In this round of the series, James did play a very shocking game, but the team is currently 1-3 behind, not to mention whether James can win the championship, whether he is worthy of GPAT, whether he can break through the blockade of the Nuggets, it will become an extremely difficult choice, after all, if the Lakers can complete the firepower of the Denver people, not only make them the first in history to complete the legendary story of 0-3 behind and achieve a counterattack, but also make the Lakers more confident in the next season.
For the Lakers, they may be able to achieve a shocking reversal, they may be able to escape, and they may even be able to boost their self-confidence, especially Russell, Reaves and these young stars are full of competitiveness, after all, so far in the series, the performance of the two giants can fully match the competitiveness of the Nuggets, only the poor performance of other role players has become an important factor in the team's loss, once the team can play with self-confidence, so that the role players can help the two giants get through the difficulties, for the team, there is still a great possibility to break through.
To sum up, for the Lakers and James, whether they can complete the counterattack on the Nuggets will be the key to whether the team can win the championship, if this round of counterattack can be completed, the Lakers' self-confidence will be suddenly improved, and James's fighting spirit and passion will continue to improve, although James's physical fitness has dropped sharply, but it can still match the intensity of the playoffs, so the Lakers are still expected to win the championship trophy by breaking through the Nuggets.
If James can lead the team to win the championship, maybe Howard's words are not groundless, after all, if he can achieve a shocking counterattack in such a passive situation, such gold content can definitely be called a historical existence.
Therefore, if James can lead the team to win the championship and play such an epic performance, the influence will surpass the great moments of the 2017-18 season, achieve a legendary story, and also make James expected to surpass the god of basketball, after all, the background support of such adversity, as well as the attributes of five championship trophies and five finals FMVP trophies, will make James expected to surpass the god of basketball and become the next greatest GOAT.
