Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James believes the path to the 2020 title is going to be one of the toughest challenges of his NBA career.

James, who led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 3-1 series comeback win over the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 Finals, admits the circumstances of the Walt Disney bubble make this year's title run even more rugged than his 2016 act with the Cavs.

“It’s probably going to be one of — probably the toughest one,” the Lakers small forward said, via Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times. “It’s the toughest championship run for me personally. From the circumstances of just being in here…I don’t take anything for granted. I live life, every day I maximize that day. I don’t take anything for granted. Because at the end of the day, I know where I come from, I know what I stand for, so I don’t take anything for granted, especially being in my 17th season. I don’t go into any season saying, ‘OK, playoffs, playoffs, championship, championship.’ I just am all about the process.”

James is looking for title No. 4 at Walt Disney World. His Lakers have the best record in the Western Conference standings and are one of the betting favorites to win it all.

However, James and the Lakers will be put to the test in the first round against Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers.

Although Los Angeles is favored to win, the Blazers will certainly give the Lakers all they can handle on defense since they have four explosive scorers in Lillard, C.J. McCollum, Carmelo Anthony and Jusuf Nurkic.

LeBron James finished his second season in Los Angeles with averages of 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists in 67 games. He led the NBA in assists per game for the first time in his career.
