On January 11, Beijing time, according to the US media "fadeawayworld" reported that the NBA famous Shannon Sharp said that this season's Lakers are like the Cavaliers led by LeBron James for the first time; while another famous Jaylen Rose said that James knows that the Lakers cannot win the championship this season, but he still played a very good performance, which is a very uncomfortable thing for fans.

James was alone

In Los Angeles, the Purple and Gold Are still struggling to clean up the mess after a bad start to the season.

Russell Westbrook, once hailed as the lakers' new giant, is now the subject of deal rumours from the media and fans. With obvious flaws in both ends of the spectrum, the media and fans have almost stopped seeing him as a star point guard.

Anthony Davis, meanwhile, is still in convalescence after injury in mid-December.

Needless to say, the Lakers' current situation is a mess. In fact, NBA celebrity Sharp compared this Lakers to James's Newly Entered the League Cavaliers. "They're not a good team right now," Sharp said, "and James is back in his days when he first led the Cavaliers because the second time he had Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love." James' helper when he first led the Cavaliers, that is, the Lakers' current lineup... They were of no use at all. They couldn't even hold on to their tenth-best defense in the league. It's that simple. ”

When the Lakers won the championship in 2019-20, it was largely due to their elite-level defense, with players like Davis and Dwight Howard both helping their defense tremendously.

Now, the Lakers are struggling to maintain the same defensive dominance, but many are skeptical that they will be able to play against the top teams in the Western Conference.

"Although James played superstar performances, the reality we saw with our own eyes was that we knew this team was not going to win the championship." Rose said, "They can't win the championship this season. The Warriors are better, the Suns are better, and the Jazz are better. So, based on that, it's hard for NBA supporters and fans to see a superstar play so well even though he knows he can't win a championship. ”

In his first days leading the Cavaliers, James didn't get a chance to play with all-Star-caliber players, and he almost single-handedly carried the Cavaliers on his shoulders. Now in the Lakers, James has All-Star teammates by his side, but the struggle of these teammates makes James feel as if he has returned to the days when he first led the Cavaliers.
