The Lakers are back in the NBA Finals. The toning 4-1 in Nuggets It represented the last step on the way to return to the most important stage in the world of basketball. The one that the violet yellow of The Angels are about to compete is the thirty-second final in its history, an absolute record that certifies its status as the most famous team in the world. But, if you have followed basketball NBA in the last decade you will know very well: Not everything has been easy in Los Angeles in recent years. This is why we have decided to remember the 5 most important stages of approach to these Finals lived by the Lakers in the last 10 years, exactly from the final won in 2010 by 4-3 against the eternal rivals of Boston Celts.
one) TRADE (FAILURE) OF CHRIS PAUL
After winning the title in 2010, the Lakers have long been NBA title favorites – not surprisingly, in 2011 his thud in the semi-finals of the Conference, for 4-0 against Dallas mavericks (then NBA graduate champions) made so much noise that the yellow-purple management made important reflections on the roster. I came up with the idea why Pau Gasoline, true double title hero, could have been traded in favor of an outsider able to better support Kobe Bryant. The choice fell on Chris Paul, at the star moment of the New Orleans Hornets, team at that time commissioned by the NBA. The exchange seemed done when David Stern, NBA Commissioner and thus New Orleans’ first executive figure, blocked the trade so as not to undermine the NBA’s balance. Paul then broke up with the Clippers’ cousins and the rest is known history.
