Lakers star forward LeBron James has helped his team get off to a 6-1 start (as of November 6) while sending a message to his haters and those who prematurely said that he was washed.
James had 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in a 118-112 come-from-behind win against the Bulls on November 5, with the Lakers using a 38-19 fourth quarter to erase a 13-point deficit at the end of the third. The four-time NBA MVP made history, becoming the first Lakers played with three straight triple-doubles since Magic Johnson in 1987.
The first of those triple-doubles by James came in a 119-110 overtime win against the Mavericks on November 1 when he finished with 39 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds while going head-to-head with second-year guard Luka Doncic. LeBron then had 21 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds in a 103-96 win against the Spurs on November 3.
Last season James wasn't himself and he missed the playoffs for the first time since 2004. This is his 17th season in the NBA and his decline last year led to questions about what to expect from him for the rest of his career but he is playing at an MVP level, re-inventing himself as a starting point guard. As I write this, James is currently leading the league with 11.1 assists per game (a career-best) while averaging 26.1 points and 8.3 rebounds in 35.0 minutes over seven games.
Former NBA player Kendrick Perkins said this on Tuesday: “LeBron did tell me that he was going to reclaim his throne in due time and got damn it he's on a mission right now. 3 Straight Triple Doubles and the season just started! Feel sorry for the rest of the league!!! God Bless America”
It might be time to place a bet on LeBron James to win his fifth NBA MVP award this season.
