Former Laker Lamar Odom is confident that LeBron James, whom he calls "God James, the god of basketball," can lead the Los Angeles Lakers to another championship as long as the team stays healthy. The Lakers are set to face the Memphis Grizzlies in the opening round of the playoffs, and they have the advantage of experience over the younger Grizzlies team. Odom also praised the addition of Tristan Thompson to the team, a player who has experience playing with LeBron and has won a championship before. Alongside James, Anthony Davis has also been performing at a high level, averaging 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game during the regular season. Despite this, some skepticism remains around the Lakers' championship chances, with FanDuel giving them the eighth-best championship odds. However, the team has shown improvement since the roster reshuffle earlier in the season, and if they can maintain their health, they could make a deep playoff run.
