LeBron James knew he would have to be patient when he chose to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, a team comprised of talented but young players.
Many doubted James would have the patience to play on such a young team because he has generally played with older groups of players. Those doubters were ready to say they were right when the 33-year-old admitted he almost ‘cracked’ earlier in the 2018-19 NBA season.
However, the Lakers have made it easier for him to be patient as they are currently 18-13 and fourth in the Western Conference with only more room to improve.
