There is no doubt in my mind that LeBron James is one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. If there is anyone who can turn the tables around, it is definitely LeBron James. When was the last time a team with LeBron on it held losing record this late into the season?

In their last win against the Rockets, LeBron came to the rescue, along with Brandon Ingram to take them home. However, two nights later, while James was once again in his elements, the same cannot be said of other players.

James had 27 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, 4 steals, and a block, all of this on 11-for-17 shooting and yet, they lost. One thing is clear. The King alone cannot win games for the Lakers. They need contribution from each of their players if they want to make it to the postseason.
