– LeBron James
With this being his first game as a Laker, LeBron James will obviously be a player to watch in this one. James shook the landscape of the NBA this offseason when he decided to sign with the Lakers, and we all can’t wait to see what he accomplishes in Los Angeles.
While the Lakers have a great chance to snap their playoff streak this season, it might not come easy right away for LeBron and the Lakers. When LeBron has switched teams in the past, there has been a bit of a learning curve for the teams. Even when he joined forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, the Heat didn’t get off the start that many envisioned.
After arguably one of the best seasons of his career, LeBron looked good in the preseason. As expected, he didn’t play a ton of minutes, but when he did he performed very well. In his final tune-up for the regular season against the Warriors, James totaled 15 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in just 18 minutes of action.
With this being James’ first game as a Laker, and it being on National TV, expect to see a big-time performance from him.
