Long before the arrival of LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers had always been the NBA’s center of attention.

Every time the Los Angeles Lakers look like they’re going to turn things around, they lose another game, which just proves how dysfunctional this team is right now.

Instead of being the dominant force many believed they could be, this new-look Los Angeles Lakers side has instead, been struggling to find any semblance of consistency in what has been a very disappointing start to the season.

The Los Angeles Lakers, once again, followed up a potential momentum-building victory with a discouraging dud.

LeBron James is bound to have his name near the top of several all-time leaderboards once he retires.

James surpassed Malone to reach 11th place […]

Life for the star-studded Los Angeles Lakers hasn’t been easy this season, going just 13-12.
