Lakers 2020-21 Classic Edition Jerseys:
NBA teams are allowed to wear old jerseys during a season to commemorate a milestone season, and it appears that the jerseys will be worn next season to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the 1960-61 season when the Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, according to a report from Legion Hoops, a prominent local media outlet.
In response Lakers veteran Josh Hart said on social: “Ugh, I’m still in the Lakers that would like to wear this jersey, now too bad, this jersey is cool.” Hart was drafted by the Lakers in 2017 2018-19 off-season in a trade for the Browns, was sent to the Pelicans, and this season can play an average of 10.2 points + 6.5 rebounds + 1.6 assists per game.
And in the 2018-19 playoffs, the Lakers then once again enabled the Black Mamba jersey, also in memory of the famous Kobe who died because of a helicopter accident. In the three games where the Lakers wore the Black Mamba jersey, the Lakers won all three games, including a three-point shutout by the Browns! Not surprisingly, we will also see the appearance of the Black Mamba jersey again in the finals.
On paper, the Lakers are better than the Heat. But compared to the Nuggets, the Heat’s roster is more targeted at the Lakers, and their front line and outside ability is something the Lakers need to address. Iguodala and James is also an old rival, and Riley once sarcastically in James left the Heat in 2014 when the latter made the worst mistake of his career, James but in 2016 led the knight to win the title on the face of Riley. It can be said that this finals for James, it means a lot!
