Hey basketball fans! I am here again to have some basketball discussions with you guys and today's topic is very interesting. Let's start guys!
Every NBA superstars are blessed with fame, wealth, talent, attention and many positive things but they are also curse because of controversies, media, and criticism. You think they have no problems? you think they're happy because they have a lot of money and they can get what they wanted? That's not true. Superstar athletes are also people who feels emotion and their emotions are heavier than normal people because all eyes are watching them. Every move they make is always look at. It's not easy to be a superstar athlete because there are a lot of challenges that they have to face in their career and personal life. Today i am going to discuss things that every NBA stars should prove this upcoming season.
Russel Westbrook
Brodie has nothing to prove in terms of skill set. He already won a season MVP award and finished 2 consecutive seasons averaging a triple-double. Russ has been criticized of stat padding and people think of him as a stat padding machine who only cares for his own stats and never desire to win a championship. That was what I think that he should prove. Russ should try to win or compete for a championship. It will be a hard path going to the Finals in the Western Conference. But he has to at least make it to the finals and lead his team to beat the power house teams in the Western Conference and prove the haters that he's not all about the stats.
Kawhi Leonard
The Toronto Raptors traded one of their most loyal players in franchise history, DeMar DeRozan. It was a surprise that the Raptors traded a player who gives everything he can for the franchise. DeRozan sacrifice a lot of money to make the team better but despite all the things he has done, Toronto still traded him for Kawhi Leonard. Leonard is a top 5 player and Toronto cannot resist having him so they are forced to sacrifice DeRozan for him even if its just a possible one year rental. There's no sure thing about Leonard's decision next summer but at least, Leonard is just focus on winning a championship with Toronto this season. Kawhi should prove that it was worth it. Kawhi should lead the Raptors to a championship to earn people's respect or else Toronto's sacrifice will go to waste.
Stephen Curry
Curry won 2 season MVP s and 3 championships. Curry will end up as one of the best point guards to ever play the game with no doubt. But there's one thing that Curry still has to prove. In his three championships, Kevin Durant won 2 finals MVP and the other one was won by Andre Iguodala. Curry has to prove that he's the biggest factor in their championship run and he could lead a team to win the championship. This upcoming season is his best chance because this might be the final season that their strong core is still complete because next summer, his fellow all-stars might go somewhere else.
James Harden
Harden won season MVP last season but still falls short against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. They're so close to an NBA Championship but Chris Paul's injury hurts the team big time and basketball analysts and fans believed that this was the reason why the Rockets falls to GSW. Harden should try again to dethrone the Warriors and finally beat them in the playoffs. He has it in him. I believe that he is the one who can beat the Warriors.
LeBron James
LeBron has really nothing to prove in my own opinion. His career will end up being in the top of the NBA world even if he doesn't win another championship. LeBron achievements are already enough and the only thing for him to do now is to lead the young Lakers team and make them grow. Another thing Bron can do for the Lakers is to attract a top tier free agent and when the time comes that he is done, he can pass the torch to that superstar and continue to pursue a championship for L.A.. Still I want Bron to beat the Golden State Warriors but this year I think he can't with their current roster.
