This left the fans in splits, leaving some fans to troll James calling him,  ‘LeAnalyst’. Although the fans were trolling him, his game sense about the NFL is no joke. He went 11-2 on his game predictions for Sunday’s matches. This astonishing success record of 84.6% demonstrates James’s extensive mastery of the game. However, he is a master of another game where he has won 4 championships, is a 19x All-Star, and is preparing to enter his 21st season, basketball.

As he continues to defy time and athleticism limits, there are some issues regarding how the Los Angeles Lakers should handle the superstar’s playing time.

Last season’s performance demonstrates LeBron’s ability to successfully manage his workload. Despite his age, he led the Lakers to the conference finals, averaging 38.7 minutes per game throughout the playoffs. However, as LeBron enters this historic season, the Lakers may need to rely more on Anthony Davis and their other talents. LeBron James has almost everything the NBA has to offer: championships, MVP honors, All-Star selections, and broken records. Nonetheless, as he begins his 21st season, his ambition remains the same, to win more titles and carve his name even further into history.
