LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are truly a perfect marriage for Hollywood. The team has found a way to have the star power, a fun supporting cast, and drama to make for quite an intriguing film. And it has sure shown this season. Over the last week, they have been losing games, falling in the standings, and becoming the butt of all basketball jokes and commentary. A lot of talk surrounding this team has been that they are a failure. Only one person will be the key to change that and it is 37-year-old and 19-year veteran LeBron James.
Saturday night, James dropped 56 points against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in much needed win.
Is this a turning of a tide? We shall see.
Final stat line: 39 minutes, 56 points, 19/31 FG, 6/11 3PT, 12/13 FT, 2 offensive rebounds, 10 total rebounds, 3 assists, a block, 4 turnovers, and +13.
