Former Miami Heat assistant coach David Fizdale explained how Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James’ first title traces back to the Houston Rockets.
The Los Angeles Lakers took home the 2019-20 NBA title, giving LeBron James his fourth championship of his 17-year career. The Lakers’ path to the NBA Finals included a match with the Portland Trail Blazers, followed by the Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, and the battle-tested Miami Heat.
The Lakers received significant contributions from role players, such as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Rajon Rondo, Dwight Howard, and the list goes on.
