Step back, L’Équipe’s basketball podcast: LeBron James’ orphaned Lakers

You miss a being, and everything is depopulated. It suffices for the Lakers to lose LeBron James to go from very good to intermittent, and the record in 8-8, disappointing, confirms that the leader of the Los Angeles team is essential. Is there a structural problem? Or leadership?

Anthony Davis, NBA champion with these same Lakers two years ago, takes on the role of road captain somewhat, but he seems frustrated. Russell Westbrook, a soloist who arrived this summer, hardly shows the desire to add water to his wine and adapt. So what are the prospects for the franchise season? Can LeBron James’ return change everything?

Animated by Alessandro Pitzus, with Guillaume Degoulet, Gaëtan Delafolie and Amaury Perdriau. Realized by Antoine Bourlon.
