The Los Angeles Lakers are the best team LeBron has been on throughout 16 games!
In 17 years, this Lakers team at 14-2 represents the best team out of the gate in LeBron James’ career. Based on the numbers on the chart below, championship aspirations are in effect here. What’s even more incredible is the 12-4 teams in Cleveland and Miami are the title teams.

SEASON TEAM RECORD

2008-09 Cavaliers 13-3

It is no secret that the Lakers need LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the floor to have a chance to win the NBA title. After Anthony Davis put on his 27 free throw performance against the Grizzlies in the Staples Center, teams have tried their best to keep him off the line.
Up until the Oklahoma City Thunder game recently, when he got to the line 11 times, Davis couldn’t get to the free throw line either.
Will this situation get handled? Probably not. Another story will come up and this will fall by the wayside and the debates will continue again in the playoffs. James harden will bring it to the forefront.
"I just want a fair chance, man. Just call the game the way it’s supposed to be called and we’ll live with the results.”
