The Lakers created a miracle. He became the first team in NBA history to sell for over $10 billion. In the first half of this year, the Celtics sold 6.1 billion, which also set a record at that time, but who can think? 85% of the Lakers' equity was sold for 10 billion!

Today, the Lakers welcomed their new boss. The Bass family withdrew from the stage of history. Many people were very excited, including the Lakers' small boss Magic Johnson, fans, reporters from all walks of life. There is no doubt that the new Lakers' new boss is rich and he is very successful in the team's operation, which also makes people see the hope of the Lakers' revival!

But there are also many people who feel regretful. Today, Lakers reporter Nicole Ganglani said that she felt very regretful because the change of team ownership happened too late. During the James and Davis period, this incident did not happen. Originally, the combination of James and Davis should not have won a championship in just 6 years!

In fact, looking back now, the team that does have James and Davis has only won one championship in the past six years. It really feels a bit incredible. What does the combination of Davis and James mean? Let's make a comparison!

1, 24 championships, Tatum + Jaylen Brown, last season, Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the Celtics to the NBA championship. In the finals, Tatum averaged 22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, with a shooting percentage of only 39%. Jiedong Brown averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5 assists, and a shooting percentage of 44%!

2, 23 championship, Jokic + Murray, in the finals this year, Jokic averaged 30.2 points, 14 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and a shooting percentage of 58.3%. Murray averaged 21.4 points, 6.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and a shooting percentage of 45.1%.

3, 22-year championship, Curry + Clay + Green, in the finals, Curry averaged 31.2 points, Klay Thompson averaged 17 points, Drummond Green 6.9 points, and Wiggins averaged 18.3 points.

4, 21 championship, Antetokounmpo + Middleton, in the finals, Antetokounmpo scored 35.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 5 assists, while Middleton, the team's second-in-command, averaged 24 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.

5, 20-year championship, James + Davis, in the finals of this year, James averaged 29.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 8.5 assists, of which the shooting percentage was as high as 59.8%, while Anthony Davis averaged 25 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 57.1%.

From the data of the above people, it can be seen that Antetokounmpo and Jokic have the best data, and the following is James and Davis. This is a comparison of single-player data, but if compared according to the combination, the combination of James and Davis can rank first, the combination of Antetokounmpo and Middleton can rank second, the combination of Jokic and Murray rank third, the combination of Warriors rank fourth, and the Celtics rank fifth!

So the combination of James and Davis is stronger than the other four combinations, especially when comparing offense and defense, the advantage of the two is more obvious. However, since 20 years later, both players have never won a championship, and even won the finals, which is completely unimaginable!

Finally, I have to say that there are too many determinants to win the championship. Even if you have the strongest player, sometimes it is far from the championship. The one that really determines the championship should be the team's operational ability. Good players can be traded, and good coaches can be recruited, but if the management team pulls the gap, even the best players and the best coaches will be useless. So the combination of James and Davis is really a pity, and it's a pity.

Speaking of the heart! Team reporter said that the Lakers sold too late, the strongest combination won one championship in 6 years, wasting James' talent
