The Los Angeles Lakers are on the brink of elimination! The Denver Nuggets are dominating LeBron James and Co. in every way possible. Stealing a game on the road today, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are one game away from putting an end to the Lakers’ championship run. Though it might come to an end soon, the 4-time MVP is unfazed by it. Joining King James, a 24-year-old Lakers star believes LA still has a chance to turn things around. 

The Los Angeles Lakers are trailing 0-3 in the Conference Finals. No team in NBA history has won a series after falling into the 0-3 hole. Can LeBron James create history once again? 

LeBron James still positive about his championship hopes

The 4-time champ had 23 points and 12 assists. Anthony Davis had 28 points and a massive 18 rebounds. Yet, they still got torched by the Denver Nuggets. Jamal Murray has probably been the best player throughout the series. With three consecutive 30-point games, the 26-year-old has been a tough nut to crack so far. Anyhow, James believes they still have a shot at this series. 

Despite the odds stacked against the Lakers, the 4-time champion believes they can be an exception. According to a recent report, James delivered a strong message to his teammates in the locker room.
