Despite the recent losses the LA Lakers have suffered, LeBron James is doing everything he can to keep the team's playoff hopes alive. Despite turning 38 years old, LeBron has been putting up MVP-level performances. Coach Darvin Ham is very appreciative of James and feels guilty for not being able to coach the team to more wins.
Darvin Ham knows that LeBron James is carrying the Lakers' load at the moment and recently revealed that he "feels bad" about it. Ham feels like he's in a tough spot considering that James is giving it his all and still ending up taking losses.
Speaking after the Lakers' 116-111 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, Darvin Ham said:
"It's tough because he's such a competitor and we're in these games and he wants to win, we want to win, so you kind of lose sight until after the game when you check the statsheet."
Is it time for LeBron James to part with LA?
Whether you love or hate him, nobody can deny that LeBron James is a once-in-a-lifetime basketball player. James is averaging 36.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 8.6 assists in the eight games he's played so far since turning 38.
With that in mind, it seems like a waste of talent and energy if LeBron James sticks around with the LA Lakers. James is known for moving to different teams to win championships. But if he weren't as good as he is today, LBJ might never have won a title despite hopping from one good team to another.
Many believe the "King" should just hang up his sneakers and enjoy living a billionaire's lifestyle. However, with what he has left in the tank, it would be a waste to call it a career just yet. At this point, it'll take a lot of work for James to win a championship with the Lakers. They have Anthony Davis, who's always injured, Russell Westbrook, who can be inconsistent, and a slightly weak bench.
While the Purple and Gold have proven they can be a solid team, they've been struggling for consistency.
If LeBron James aims to win, then moving to another team might be the best solution. But if he's content with sticking around, then the Lakers better make adjustments before it's too late.
Guess the Lakers players!
