LeBron James’ season and things to look forward to in the next

James ended the season with an injury, forcing him to miss the last few games. Moreover, it was a disaster for the Lakers. Individually, LeBron averaged 30.3 points per game in the regular season in 56 games. He also recorded 8.2 rebounds along with 6.2 assists per game. He became the player with the second-most points in the game’s history this season. ‘King James’ also became the first and only player to reach 10,000 points, assists, and rebounds in the history of the NBA.

While individually LeBron made both records and points, he would have been really upset missing the playoffs. Moreover, missing even the play-in tournament was the nail in the coffin. Especially for Frank Vogel. The Lakers assessed that they needed a change after the abysmal season and they started with the firing of Frank Vogel from the head coach position. They have now appointed Darvin Ham as the new head coach.
