The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James are recreating the Miami Heat’s blueprint from 10 years ago
After a disappointing first-round playoff exit last season, the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James are looking to the past for their future success. Not just because the Lakers are older than any other NBA team.
But because the Lakers are following the same blueprint that got LeBron his first championship while he was on the Miami Heat. Like the Lakers going into this season, Miami had a disappointing season 10 years ago, losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals.
