Lakers Start Season 3-0 With Wins

The Los Angeles Lakers have started the 2024-25 NBA season with a 3-0 record, their best start since the 2010-11 season, thanks to stellar performances from Anthony Davis and LeBron James. Davis has emerged as the team's primary offensive and defensive weapon, scoring 36 points in the season opener and following up with 35 points against the Phoenix Suns, making him the first Laker since Kobe Bryant to begin a season with consecutive 30-point games. LeBron James, in his 22nd season, also contributed significantly with a triple-double in the latest victory. Head coach JJ Redick is credited with a hands-on coaching style that has helped the Lakers capitalize on Davis's abilities. Lakers fans are optimistic about the team's potential as they look to maintain momentum in upcoming games, including a rematch against the Kings. The early success has sparked discussions about Davis's MVP candidacy and the future of the franchise as they focus on Davis as a centerpiece alongside the aging James.
