James is 37 years old this season, he is still the mainstay of the team, and the ability to score 30+ points in basically every game in recent games is the key to the Lakers' ability to remain competitive in the game. But the other players in the Lakers really did not give James enough help, otherwise the Lakers' performance would never be what it is now, and the winning rate would definitely not be only about 50%!
And recently, Dave McMenamin said: "Before the start of this season, James compared the Lakers to the Pirates for 20 years! Not to mention the first official game, before the Lakers started their first training session this season, LeBron James had already told his teammates that they reminded him of another aging legend, the Patan Bay Pirates led by Tom Brady. ”
James's words are also to give the team confidence, 20 years Brady left the Paland bay patriots for many years, joined the Patan Bay Pirates, and led the weak team pirates who had not missed the playoffs for many years to win the NFL Super Bowl championship. And James also wants to say that although the Lakers did not have good results last season, they still have enough opportunities to create magic this season!
After the news sparked a heated discussion, the famous Shannon Sharpe said on the show: "I don't see comparability. Didn't he realize that the pirates were all at their peak except Brady and Gron? And now the Lakers except LeBron and Munch are all failed. And his partner Skip said: "It is Wei Shao who is bothering the scenery. LeBron was fiercely frustrated in bringing out the best Westbrook. ”
This passage is really very heartfelt for the Lakers, although I want to refute his statement, but there is no point to refute. It should be known that James has averaged 28.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game in the Lakers this season, continuing his MVP level play. Munch, on the other hand, has repeatedly used his own outside shots and breakthroughs to save the Lakers from fire and water. This season's average of 12 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game is good enough, and their three-point shooting rate is close to 40%, which is the most stable score point for the Lakers' outside line, to know that he is only a base salary contract this season, and it is indeed unexpected for fans to have such a play! And Westbrook's poor performance this season has indeed become the key to the Lakers' sluggish state, and fans and media really can't refute it!
