Is LeBron James Ready to Bring the Lakers back to Championship Form?

“He is a veteran and the Lakers are young, so he brings that experience/leadership. Plus, he is LeBron, that’s number one.” Steven Fuerte (12)

July 1st, 2018 is when the National Basketball Association and the world found out that LeBron James would be joining the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron is one of the most electrifying players in the league right now, but his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers tarnished his image (to some people.) After the Golden State Warriors swept LeBron and his Cavs in the 4 game NBA Finals, everyone wondered where the superstar was headed next. After joining the legendary franchise the question all Lakers fans and anyone in the basketball realm has is, “Can he carry Kobe’s legacy as a Laker?” Oct.18 is the beginning of what can either be a blessing or a curse for both the Lakers franchise and LeBron’s legacy as the greatest to ever step on the court.

Here is what a couple students think of Lebron and his quest to bring the Lakers back to the promised land!

“If LeBron can bring the Lakers back to championship form that’s going to prove that LeBron is a team leader. It will also prove he can lead any team to the Championship.” Edwin Romero (12)
