The Los Angeles Lakers were able to change the landscape of the NBA when they signed LeBron James this offseason. Getting the best player in the world instantly makes them a much better team, but it also will put a target on their back.
With the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference, James’ teams have been dominant. However, coming to the Western Conference, the competition is much greater to reach the NBA Finals.
James, of course, knows this, as he will likely be having to face the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs prior to making the NBA Finals once again.
