The Los Angeles Lakers should be glad he’s on their team. No check that, the NBA should be glad he’s on their team.
Let’s take a look at the highlight below. It shows the team work of James and Davis and how these two will make the Lakers championship contenders. That’s not the point to be made here. Just listen to the oohs and ahhs of the 15,992 fans in the arena as he scores his last bucket before sitting down for the rest of the game.

James showed again why he is considered the most powerful athlete in the world by doing his part by putting on a show for the fans to enjoy. The fans rained down chants of “MVP” at times during the game and cheered every time he threw down a slam dunk in pregame warm-ups.
James easily was the main attraction and did not disappoint, scoring 20 points, while grabbing 6 rebounds and dishing out 2 assists. It was a little bit of surprise that he was seen for a spell in the second half, but as the video above shows he ended on a good note. After the game, he threw headbands and rubber bracelets to the fans.
As shown by the entire team at times, LeBron impact was uneven. He missed a few layups after Rodions Kurucs got under his skin with physical play at the end of the first half.
But LeBron’s impact was more important being an ambassador to NBA basketball than anything he did on the stat sheet. For roughly two hours, we all forgot the issues that is going on with the NBA and China. Many are wondering why James and other players haven’t spoken out on this situation that is going on. LeBron is showing that there are other ways to make an impact without being in front of cameras and a microphone.
