This has been an interesting year so far for LeBron James as the Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar has, at times, looked unbelievable with some of his performances, notching multiple triple-doubles. However, at other times he has looked tired and worn down with his effort not being what it needs to be.
LeBron’s goal was to play in every game for the Lakers, but he recently missed his first game of the year, sitting out the team’s victory over the Portland Trail Blazers with left foot soreness. Head coach JJ Redick has implemented a different offensive system that takes some of the load off LeBron, but his minutes have remained basically the same and NBA Hall of Famer Vince Carter believes that is a problem.
