LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers have endured a very poor season. Reaching far below their expectations, the franchise finds itself in 9th place in the Western Conference with a 31-41 record. Regardless of LeBron breaking multiple records this season, there has not been much celebration mostly due to where the Lakers stand. At present, they rely majorly on the ‘King’ to carry them to victory every time.

Clearly, LeBron does not seem to be stopping anytime soon. Even at 37, he leaves fans amazed with his performances. It’s as though he is reversing time itself. As the regular season winds down, the Lakers will aim to win as many games as possible. Moreover, they will hope that Anthony Davis returns soon and Russell Westbrook keeps up his recent strong performances. Like the success of Lobos, LeBron will aim to bring another title to LA. Although this seems like a dream at present, if anyone can do the impossible, it’s LeBron James.
