LeBron James Pours Oil on “Free LeBron” Fire With an Open Dig at the Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers are among the remaining three winless teams in the NBA right now. They sit last in the Western Conference table with four losses in four games this season. They recently lost to Denver Nuggets by double-digits at the Ball Arena and continue to struggle this season. Despite his team’s struggles, LeBron James has been in great form this season as he is averaging 25.3 points per game. However, the Lakers are showing no signs of improvement. This has led the fans to start a ‘Free LeBron’ campaign on social media. Now, King James has also taken an open dig at the Lakers through a social media post.

King James has also bagged 10.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game this season so far. These are great numbers as far as LeBron is concerned. But it hasn’t helped the Lakers in winning their first game of the season.

King James scored 19 points against the Nuggets in the Lakers’ 11-point loss. He wasn’t at his best, but he had his moments. After the loss, LeBron shared an Instagram post of his insane dunk during the game. It could have been just a random highlight from the game, but the caption of the post caught everyone’s attention.

“How long will you be taken for granted….. 💭 👑. Keep going kid,” the caption read.

The Lakers are the only teams alongside the Orlando Magic and the Sacramento Kings to be winless this season. The key is their poor shooting. They have shot 40.7%, which is the worst in the league. Russell Westbrook, who has been criticized by many for the Lakers’ struggles, didn’t feature against the Nuggets. That shows that there are many deep-lying problems the Lakers need to solve if they want to win a championship with LeBron James.

King James has now scored at least 10 points in 1100 straight regular season games

While the likes of Russell Westbrook struggle to get to double-digits in some games, there is LeBron, who has extended his streak of scoring at least 10 points to 1100 straight regular season games.

LeBron was already the league leader in this particular statistic. He just extended the record to 1100 games against the Nuggets.
