Former Lakers legend James Worthy believes the current Lakers are capable of winning the NBA championship this season. Worthy spoke with Silver Screen & Roll Magazine prior to a charity golf tournament, where he expressed optimism about the team’s chances and mentioned the additions of players such as Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt.
Worthy also pointed out some areas where the Lakers need to improve, such as consistency in the first and third quarters and three-point shooting. However, he believes that if the team can stay healthy and play up to their potential, they have the potential to be a championship contending team.
The Lakers got off to a slow start this season, but they have shown their potential. If they can come together, they have the potential to be a dark horse contender in the playoffs.
