Since putting on his shoes and entering the NBA arena, LeBron James has always shown himself as one of the brightest stars in the number one basketball tournament on the planet. Not only demonstrated by excellence on individual stats sheets, the Eastern superstar always knows how to transform his talent into collective success for the whole team. However, that is not what is happening this season.
Even though he is 37 years old, LeBron James still shows that he is the most comprehensive player in the NBA. With MVP-level average numbers of 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists, no one can think that “King James”‘s form is on the other side of his career. So classy and effective. However, sadly this older star is having to accept the bitter truth at the Los Angeles Lakers.
Despite the excellence of LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers are currently standing in a muddy puddle of crisis with no way out. Although considered one of the championship candidates when the season was about to start, now the prospect of not being able to compete for a ticket in the Play-in round is gradually becoming a reality for the team. purple yellow body. Even when the “King” took the field, the Western representative still had extremely low results.
LeBron James tried his best
In his rookie season, LeBron James appeared in 79 matches and brought the Cleveland Cavaliers 33 victories. Until the 2021/2022 season, this was the only time the Akron son had to lose every time he took the field to contribute. Since then, “King James” has had 16 consecutive seasons with positive results no matter where he is, with the peak in the 2008-2009 NBA with an 81.5% winning rate. when on the field. This record is currently held in the NBA by Tim Duncan and Karl Malone with 19 seasons.
But that changed this season for LeBron James. After the latest defeat of the Los Angeles Lakers, the superstar wearing shirt number 6 has a sad record of 25 wins and 31 losses. The 37-year-old monster has definitely had a negative season for the first time since he was an 18-year-old rookie when he first entered the professional arena.
Even if he goes out and loses all his remaining matches, the Akron-born superstar will bring home the lowest winning percentage of his career. However, without knowing that number, he certainly has the lowest number of wins in his career up to this point.
LeBron James still maintains faith in the team
However, LeBron James himself still believes that this is not the end of his and the team’s journey. The former Cleveland Cavaliers star maintained his “still to go” stance in the press conference room after losing to the Denver Nuggets: “Until the day the NBA announced we were eliminated, this team still had a chance. At this time, we will still try our best and press the accelerator forward because fate is still in our hands.”
Let’s wait and see where the final push from LeBron James and his teammates will take the Los Angeles Lakers.
