3. LeBron James
Now I know what you might be thinking right now, “What in the world, How can LeBron James only be 3rd on this list?” LeBron James being 3rd on the list doesn’t make his role any less significant. He is still a top player in this league and just last season alone he did average 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists per game. Solid MVP numbers if you ask me.
The tricky thing with LeBron is he is getting up there in age, this season he will be 37 years old. Now he has shown he is clearly putting up a good fight against father time, that being said father time is undefeated.

It’s a tall task to ask someone going into his 19th season to carry the brunt of the load in leading a team to a championship. Let’s not forget the nasty ankle injury he suffered last season as well.
I’m not saying LeBron won’t be great this season or put up solid numbers, I feel he is better suited taking a back seat to the 2 players ahead of him on this list in order for the Lakers to be successful.
