Can the Lakers, an aging team, win the championship? The reporter was ingenious and compared Jordan's bull!
This summer, in the free market battle, the Lakers can be described as a different way, others are busy grabbing young and strong, at their peak, or good data players, but the Lakers continue to introduce old players, Westbrook, Anthony, Ariza, Ellington, Howard, have joined the Lakers, plus James, Dudley and Gasol Jr.
Lakers this team composed of at least 7 players have been over 32 years old, 35-year-old players also have several, Lakers this team, to there a stop, a glance, are all thirty years old men, so the outside world said that the Lakers this year is an "old team", and suspect that this team, I am afraid that I will encounter physical weakness, running, rarely fast attack, so I think the Lakers new season is not far away, especially worried Lakers fans.
Today, NBA reporter Brandon Robinson tweeted in response to criticism of the Lakers' "too old" lineup.
Brandon Robinson doesn't say much, his articles are not long, but he is ingenious, and he compares the ages of players in the Lakers lineup with the 1998 Bulls championship lineup.
Brandon Robinson simply wrote: "'The Lakers are old,' so what is Michael Jordan's bull?" Robinson is asking rhetorically, the Lakers team is too old, is an elderly team, can not win the championship, then Jordan in 1998 that team is what, why can win the championship?
Brandon Robinson's picture is: Lakers, Anthony Davis 28 years old, Dwight Howard 35 years old, LeBron James 36 years old, Russell Westbrook 32 years old, Carmelo Anthony 37 years old;
Bulls: Dennis Rodman 37, Scotty Pippen 33, Michael Jordan 35, Ron Harper 34.
Brandon Robinson this sentence rhetorical question, immediately set off people's discussion and thinking, comparative point of view, the Lakers this team and Jordan in 1998 won the championship team, is indeed not old, James is only one year older than Jordan, Pippen are 37 years old, still won the championship, so, Brandon Robinson's rhetorical question, very convincing, very reasonable, indicating that the elderly team is not unable to win the championship, but has certain benefits for winning the championship.
Howard said the same thing: "Are we really old? I don't even know that even if you are old in your 30s, I thought that when you were old, you should have been 85 years old, I think it was 70 to 90 years old, and between 100 years old it is called old. I think the 30s are middle-aged, you really start to understand something, you're at your peak. So I don't see us as old, I think we're experienced. ”
Howard is also in response to the outside world "Lakers are too old" question to ask a rhetorical question, Howard asked, what is old, and made an explanation, he said 30 years old is not called old, or called middle-aged, so to speak, irrefutable, Howard believes that such players are experienced, more know how to win, and even at the peak, such as Jordan's 1998 crown Bulls, those 35-year-old players are in the peak state, and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Therefore, This contrast of Brandon Robinson, this rhetorical question, is very convincing, the outside world "Lakers are too old" is the most powerful response, of course, at this time and time, the team is different, the time is different, the Lakers this "old team" can win the championship, or practice out the truth, is the donkey is a horse to take out to walk, than to know, in case the Lakers win the championship in the new season, do not know how many people to hit the face, and will leave a historical story for the NBA!
