“No Ring for the King?” – Danny Green Says Lakers Have ‘No Shot’ at Championship With LeBron at the Helm!
In a jaw-dropping moment that has the NBA world buzzing, former Lakers sharpshooter and 3-time NBA champion Danny Green has delivered a brutal truth about his former team — and fans are NOT taking it lightly.
Appearing on All The Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Green didn’t hold back when discussing the current state of the Los Angeles Lakers. With LeBron James nearing 40, Green questioned not just LeBron’s longevity, but the entire construction of the Lakers’ roster.
> “I think they lack a lot defensively. I don’t know how many years [LeBron] has left longer, and I think it’s just really hard to win a championship when your best player is 40 years old,” Green stated.
The internet exploded as Green doubled down on his stance, saying:
> “THE LAKERS ARE NOT WINNING AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE WAY THE ROSTER IS CONSTRUCTED RIGHT NOW.”
Ouch.
While LeBron remains an ageless marvel, breaking records and still playing at an elite level, critics — now including former teammates — are beginning to wonder how much longer he can carry a team with glaring flaws, especially on defense.
Green’s comments come at a pivotal time for the Lakers, as the offseason looms and pressure mounts on the front office to rebuild or risk wasting what could be the final prime moments of one of basketball’s all-time greats.
Will Rob Pelinka and the Lakers shake things up in time?
Or… is Danny Green right?
One thing’s for sure: this Lakers offseason just got a whole lot more dramatic.
