I am thrilled to announce my 76th Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode, I will tell you what I learned last while watching the Lakers and Warriors play, and it may surprise you.

Last night was the most exciting preseason NBA game of all time. The preseason has never really meant anything and no one really ever cared or paid attention. But this year is different. This year Lebron James is a Laker. Although it was just one half of basketball, how fun was that first half?! If that is any sign of what the regular season is going to look like, then we are in for a real treat.

But before everyone crowns Lebron James as the best player in the world again this year or says how the Lakers are legitimate NBA Title contenders, let’s talk about the most import part of basketball, SHOOTING THE BALL. The Lakers play in the most competitive and highest scoring conference in all of sports. The Warriors, Rockets, Blazers, Nuggets, etc can all light up the score board. The Warriors and Rockets especially like to shoot the 3 ball, and they do it damn well. But look at this busted ass shot.

The Lakers have ZERO 3 point shooters on their team that shoots over 39%. That is going to be a HUGE problem for them. If the roster remains the same as we saw last night, the Lakers will be lucky to make a top 5 seed in the playoffs. They are going to get smoked by the rest of the Western Conference due to the lack of shooters night in and night out. Lebron and Lonzo can catch as many alley oops as they want but last time I checked those are only worth 2 points.

Now, I am a man that likes to bring solutions to problems. And even though I am not a Lebron fan, to put it mildly, I have the perfect solution that can be life changing for Lebron and the Lakers. There is one player out there that can SAVE THEIR SEASON! And he is available and ready for the phone call.

PICK UP THE PHONE MAGIC JOHNSON AND CALL THIS GUY TO SAVE YOUR SEASON!!!
