Los Angeles Lakers have the best player in the league yet are struggling to make the playoffs

The Los Angeles Lakers are having a rough time this season, struggling to compete when LeBron James was off the floor for 17 games and dropping out of the playoffs race in a big way. They are 11th in the Western Conference with a 31-36 record and are 7 games behind the 8th placed Los Angeles Clippers.

One of the main guys responsible for this push has got to be their best player LeBron James. He missed 17 games this season but has averaged 27.3 points per game, along with 8 assists and 8.7 rebounds a game. His form has been really great all season but he has not been able to get the Lakers going.

One thing where he is failing to be good is the lack of free throws that he makes, shooting at a low of 66%. In the win over the Bulls, LeBron was dominating, scoring 36 points along with 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. If he keeps on playing like this, maybe there is a slight chance that the Lakers make it to the playoffs this season.

Alternate pick: Kawhi Leonard (Toronto Raptors)
