LeBron also doesn't have any brothers or sisters, so his relationship with his mom is almost like one of a best friend.

The Lakers are hoping that championship No. 17 is acquired at the conclusion of the season. With LeBron and Anthony Davis leading the way, the team has a good shot of winning the 2020 title.
