Lakers finally have NBA Championship depth – Darvin Ham

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham told ESPN that the Lakers finally have the depth to earn another NBA Championship, admitting their roster was a touch shallow during their 2022-23 season.

However, Ham, who replaced Frank Vogel ahead of the campaign, oversaw a turnaround in fortunes as they scraped into the playoffs, and then beat the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors on the way to a 4-0 Western Conference loss to the Denver Nuggets. They have moved proactively ahead of the new campaign, retaining key […]

Nuggets take home 1st NBA title in rugged 94-89 win over Heat

Confetti flying in Denver. The Nuggets sharing hugs while passing around the NBA championship trophy. Those scenes that, for almost a half-century, seemed impossible, then more recently started feeling inevitable, finally turned into reality Monday night.
