LeBron James is one of the players who always in for a deep playoff run. Making it to finals for 9 of the last seasons, LBJ looked prime to make yet another deep playoff run this season.
But this season, it has been a pretty different case. For the first time in the playoffs, LeBron James was knocked out in the very first round. Facing off against a resilient Phoenix Suns side who were the second seed, the Lakers looked in cruise control after game 3.

But eventually the Lakers’ saw big man Anthony Davis and Kentavious Caldwell Pope suffer from injuries. With AD out and KCP not returning to full fitness, LeBron couldn’t carry the Purple & Gold to the second round.
With a long off-season ahead of him, the Lakers’ superstar certainly has a lot of things to do. Be it his upcoming movie Space Jam: New Legacy’s release or getting back to full health, Bron is a busy man.

While LeBron might appear to be all aged up, appearances might be deceptive. James who always has a knack for proving his doubters wrong, will be utilising this off-season to get back to his best form possible.
Despite being 36-year-old, Bron has rarely shown any signs of slowing down and is seemingly in his prime. After a disappointing finish this season, get ready to see a resurgent LeBron trying to lead his team to yet another championship. Can Bron lead the Lakers to yet another championship despite him aging?
