The Lakers have been determined not to qualify for the playoffs, and this season's Lakers record, currently only 31 wins and 48 losses, even if the last 3 regular season games are all won, only 34 games in a season, it will still set james's worst record of his career (the previous worst record was 35 wins in the rookie season). And how much will this tragic defeat affect James's career evaluation? Different media people also gave very different views.
Stephen A-Smith, known as "American Yang Yi", said on the show that with the Lakers out this season, the discussion about whether James is THE GOAT (the best player in history) will also end.
"This put an end to the discussion about GOAT, and there's not much to say. The Lakers are 17 games away from a 50 percent win rate, while James is averaging 30 points per game. If he's injured and can only average 17-18 points per game, that's forgivable, but it's not. James is a phenomenal player, but also a very ambitious general manager, and now the formation of this Lakers team has a lot to do with him. But while playing MVP-level stats, the team's record is so poor that it will definitely become a stain on his career. Yang Yi of the United States said.
However, there are people who think that James should be responsible for the Lakers' miserable record, and even lose the GOAT discussion, and also support him. For example, James' former teammate Perkins responded to "American Yang Yi" on social media and supported James
"I knew, A-Smith and Jaylen Rose, that they were going to start talking about GOAT again. James is 37 years old this year, and the performance of the Lakers this season has no impact on his legendary career or THE GOAT discussions, and you should shut up quickly. Perkins wrote on social media.
So far this season, James has averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game.
