There is no doubt that James is the best player for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Due to Westbrook's poor performance, Anthony Davis was injured and absent, and James was forced to carry the Lakers forward this season.
This season, James has played a lot of positions for the Lakers. At the beginning of the season, James played as the Lakers' main ball carrier and passing number. After the thick eyebrow injury, James began to play the center role of the Lakers, and he did a good job in this role when the team adopted a small-ball lineup.
That made fans question Westbrook and Davis. Recently, there has been a rumor circulating in American fan circles that the 37-year-old LeBron James is a better point guard than Russell Westbrook and a better center than Anthony Davis. Given James' on-field performances, this argument is supported by many fans.
With a thick eyebrow injury, the Lakers put James in the center position. The change had a good effect, significantly stronger than players like Jordan Jr. and Howard. The Lakers will use James in the center position until thick eyebrows return.
As for Westbrook, his play has improved recently. But his mistakes remain a problem. In fact, in today's game against the Timberwolves, Wei Shao made 9 mistakes in a single game, almost leading the Lakers to failure.
Whether it's thick eyebrows or Wei Shao, their performance in their respective positions is very average. This is also a big reason why fans are enthusiastic about James. So far this season, James has averaged 28.5 points per game, second in the league after Durant, grabbing 7.5 rebounds and giving 6.6 assists per game.
