LeBron James Leaves a Lasting Legacy as the Face of the Los Angeles Lakers

Today LeBron James has become the main face of the Los Angeles Lakers, since his arrival in the Californian quintet he took the lead in the team with which he already managed to raise Larry O’Brien.

The action of ‘The King’ James has satisfied the fans of the purple and gold nation; so much so that the owner Jeanie Buss herself assured that they will withdraw his number at his retirement.

“The norm to retire the jersey in the Lakers is that the player enters the Hall of Fame. I have no doubt that LeBron will make it to the Hall of Fame. When he does, we will remove the jersey from him ”, were the words of Buss long ago.

James has been with the Lakers for five seasons, has already won a title, a Finals MVP award and last season became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing the record of the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Given the possibility of withdrawing LeBron’s number; Robert Horry, 7-time NBA champion (2 with the Houston Rockets, 3 with the Lakers and 2 with the San Antonio Spurs) broke the silence and pointed out that before there are other players who deserve to withdraw their number like Michael Cooper, who won 5 titles with the Lakers.

“I base everything on Michael Cooper. You know, it’s really hard for me when you take down a guy’s number and you don’t take down Michael Cooper’s number. And it’s only fair to me that… no one should go before him. They don’t appreciate defense unless you’re Ben Wallace or Dennis Rodman.

And I just think if you retire LeBron’s jersey, you should retire Michael Cooper’s because he’s just a Lakers legend to me,” Horry said.
