LeBron James at the Lakers, it’s a complicated passage to judge. On the one hand, there is the 2020 ring and the individual performances of madness… and on the other, the repeated failures for almost three years. Which is why Shaquille O’Neal’s recent outing on the Chosen One is messy.
Are the Lakers heading for another fiasco? As the last third of the regular season is about to start, we can seriously fear it. LeBron James & co. wanted to wash away the affront of last year, but 2022-23 promises to be even worse than the previous campaign. 13th in the West, the Pourpres et Ors are unable to string together victories when the situation requires it.
Paradoxically, the winger continues to release mammoth perfs with a vengeance, with 30 points on average accompanied by 8 rebounds and 7 assists. The King’s record in LA is mixed: he certainly won a title in 2020, but his team missed the playoffs two and maybe soon three times. However, Shaquille O’Neal considers that he should have the right to the highest honor, on the side of the franchise.
Shaq wants a statue for LeBron in LA
LeBron James deserves a statue in front of @cryptocom because he brought a championship to Los Angeles says @SHAQ to @BallySports.

He won a title with the Lakers. A lot of people say it doesn’t count, but if you refuse to count his with the Lakers, then you can’t count Mr. Tim Duncan’s title during the lockout. Yes it’s true, I said it! If you want to count the title won during lockout by Tim Duncan, then you have to count LeBron’s. In addition to that, he broke the record for the highest scorer as a Laker. Would I be opposed to it having a statute? Clearly not.
It is often held against the Californians that their title took place in exceptional circumstances, but this was also the case with San Antonio in the late 90s. Big Diesel’s argument stands on this aspect of its reasoning, but c The rest is a bit trickier. Despite his ring there, LBJ has accomplished less with Los Angeles than other big names. For fans, the verdict is therefore final.
Hell no on a statue

Oh no for the statue
Shaq brings here a rather shattering argument for evaluating the title won by the Lakers in 2020, comparing their situation with that of the Spurs in 1999. But for the moment, impossible to know if LeBron James will have his statue in front of him. the Crypto.com Arena, one day…
