L.A. Lakers make their first NBA Finals appearance in ten years, while Miami Heat hasn’t made it to the finals since NBA All-Star Lebron James left the team back in 2014. Lebron James who joined the Lakers last year, had been criticized by some for not being able to take the team to the finals in his first year there. But with the new addition of Anthony Davis another All-Star to the roster, L.A. Lakers have dominated the playoffs and have reached the finals convincingly.
This will be Miami Heat’s fifth final in the last ten years, but interestingly they have not made it to the finals since Lebron James left their team back in 2014. Still they have been faring better than L.A Lakers over the past few years and are rearing to take them on during the upcoming finals. They beat the Boston Celtics 4 games to 2 in the Conference Finals to make it to the NBA Finals this year.
We are hoping for a riveting series of games and will pray for a photo finish at the end of the seventh game. Fingers crossed.
