2. LeBron James and Zion Williamson

While we will see our best version of LAC’s two stars, the same will be true for LeBron James. Never before have we had LeBron entering the playoffs on months of rest. What a scary thought that is.

This is something Davis referred to as well, that the Lakers’ title hopes may be even better now with the rest underneath them, and that is especially true for LeBron James.

No player in years has had quite as much hype as Zion Williamson. Even with just 19 games of action, his name was already being thrown into the Rookie of the Year conversation. Once he takes the floor, we are going to see an entirely different version of Williamson.

All eyes on tomorrow night and in the entire playoffs are going to be on James and Williamson. One an MVP competitor all-season long and another the next big thing. Now, we will get to see both at their best.
