LeBron James has been no stranger to the NBA Playoffs, as he has gone to the NBA Finals 10 times, winning four of them. As a seven seed this this year's Lakers, some believe he has a shot to add a fifth ring, or at least get to the NBA Finals for the 11th time in his career. It would be the first time since 2020 in the bubble that LeBron James would reach the finals.
The Lakers took a huge 128-112 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. James played a good game, scoring 21 and grabbing 11 rebounds. However, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura put up great performances to steal home-court advantage in the series.
Austin Reaves scored 23 points, including a big three-pointer down the stretch. Anthony Davis scored 22 and grabbed 11 rebounds, and suffered a stinger before halftime that he eventually returned from. Rui Hachimura scored 29 off the bench and helped the Lakers separate late to get the win on the road.
With the Lakers looking competitive in this series, it will be interesting to see how many games James adds on to his record by the end of this year's NBA Playoffs.
