Back in 2008, the Los Angeles Lakers had a very similiar lineup with what they have now. It might end up with te same result as with the last time they battled the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals two years ago. Kobe Bryant begs to differ, he has 2 reasons why they’ll win this time around, Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum.

Artest is likely to be defending Paul Pierce mainly. He did say that it takes everyone in the Lakers to stop Boston’s array of scorers.

Bynum once again is injured, he’s playing with a torn cartilage in his right knee, this type of injury will likely require offseason surgery.

Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum said Monday they hope to play major defensive roles in the rematch with the Celtics. Artest is the Lakers’ only newcomer this season, while Bynum was out for the season with an injury in 2008.

LeBron James has had more pressure to win an NBA championship than any single athlete in the NBA. From the moment he first stepped foot onto the court he has been compared to the great Michael Jordan.

This past season James entered his seventh year in the league, still ring-less. The Cavaliers are slowly beginning to crumble, especially after firing the 2008-09 Coach of the Year Mike Brown, who led Cleveland to the NBA’s best record in back-to-back seasons.

You can guarantee that James is so embarrassed from his team’s early exit and lack of ability to win a championship that he just might consider departing from his beloved hometown to team up with superstar Dwyane Wade and Hall of Fame coach Pat Riley in the sunny city of Miami.

With the spotlight shared, both athletes would compete to perform at their peak, forcing both stars to play their best basketball. While many people would believe that both Wade and James want the spotlight only on themselves, the fact is that’s not entirely true.

They both have an extremely strong desire to win championships, simply put. Teaming up would give the stars their best chance to rack up rings. At the end of the day winning a championship is what it’s all about and if Lebron James believes that he has a better chance of winning it with a player like Dwyane Wade, don’t you think he’ll take those odds and run with them?

One day many years from now James is going to want to be known as the best player to have ever played the game of basketball and the decision he makes this offseason will rest upon whether or not his dream will come true.
