The Los Angeles Lakers have not had a win since their overtime victory over Dallas Mavericks. They recently lost their fourth consecutive game against San Antonio Spurs at home. Their poor run of games has clearly frustrated their star, LeBron James. The superstar has been their main man at the age of 36 and is still going strong.
James has the most points per game (26.8) for the Lakers this season. While Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis may have more points than him, it has been LeBron who has pulled the Lakers out of tough fixtures.

James scored a game-high 36 points against the Spurs, but it wasn’t enough to end the team’s 4-game losing streak. Westbrook scored 30 points in 35 mins, but the other starters except LeBron could only record 24 points.

James was asked some very tough questions during the post-game interview. The Lakers’ fourth consecutive loss has clearly frustrated the 36-year-old star, and it was visible during the interview.
He has every right to be frustrated, especially when he has been putting in huge numbers for the team without much help. LeBron has averaged 30 PPG, 10 RPG, 5 APG in the last four games the Lakers lost. Moreover, he has been in great form in the last few weeks and hasn’t received much help from his teammates.
