LeBron James Doesn’t View Christmas Day Game Against Warriors ‘Not A Measuring Stick’ For Lakers

After playing the Golden State Warriors in four consecutive NBA Finals, LeBron James is looking for better results with the Los Angeles Lakers over the next four seasons.

Armed with a young core and $38 million in salary cap space for 2019 free agency, James may not be able to immediately challenge the Warriors, but the Lakers are in prime position to eventually dethrone them.

While James could have continued his dominance in the Eastern Conference with eight consecutive Finals appearances, he likes the challenge of leading the Lakers back to their championship ways.

As the Lakers are set for a Christmas Day matchup in Oakland, James remains focused on improving each and every month during the 2018-19 NBA season.
