If the 2021-22 campaign has shown the NBA world anything, it’s that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James can still dominate on the court.
James is averaging a whopping 28.9 points per game this season on 52.8% shooting overall and 37.2% from deep while grabbing 7.4 rebounds per game and dishing 6.6 assists per game.
Though the Lakers have been grappling with a .500 record all season, James is primarily the reason the situation is not worse. The things James is doing on the court amaze even his teammates, such as veteran guard Wayne Ellington.
“Everything. I mean, he’s just showing us everything,” Ellington said after James dropped 35 points against the Memphis Grizzlies. “He’s gotten hot from the three, he’s got in the lane, he’s played the 5, he’s picking and rolling, he’s picking and popping, being a point guard, being a center, everything in-between.
“He’s done everything for our team so far this year. At 37, it’s unbelievable. Hats off to him, seriously. Whatever he’s doing, he needs to keep on doing.”
If the Lakers hope to compete for a title this season, James will definitely need to keep doing what he’s doing.
