LeBron James has been exceptional for the Los Angeles Lakers when they were at their most vulnerable. With Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, Lonnie Walker IV, and Brown all being ruled out at different intervals, the King ensured that the Purple and Gold register their first 5-game winning streak of the 2022-23 season.
As a result of which, the 38-year-old was named the NBA Player of the week (January 2 to January 8). This resulted in LeBron James clapping back at his critics and haters who doubted his potential after a slow start for Darvin Ham’s team.
But first, let me state the heroics of Bron in these mentioned dates – the legendary Los Angeles Lakers forward averaged 35.0 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists in the four games the team played in Week 12 of the NBA. The Purple and Gold also went 4-0 in that span, when Anthony Davis was placed on the sidelines.
LeBron James named player of the week
Take a look at how LeBron dissed his haters in the most savage way possible whilst the Lakers chase the .500 mark for the first time as well in the 2022-23 season in their matchup against the No. 1 seed Denver Nuggets.
That being said, the King would not be playing against the Nuggets as he has been ruled out due to a left ankle soreness. Will we witness an uncanny win for the Purple and Gold as Dennis Schroder, Kendrick Nunn, and Russell Westbrook take the initiative.
