LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers are currently seated at a comfortable 4th position on a vacuum-tight Western Conference leaderboard. To put things out West into perspective, the franchise holding the 8th spot (Sacramento Kings) are just 3.5 games behind the leaders in the Denver Nuggets.
From a conference of strong teams with clear leaders in the Golden State Warriors, the West has transformed into outright bloodshed where everybody’s beating everybody else this season.
The Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Nuggets and Warriors have all had their share of time at the apex. The Nuggets (21-10) occupying the top spot as of now, closely tailed by the Warriors (23-13).
