LeBron James, despite the rare miss, has had an excellent start to the season. James has led the Los Angeles Lakers to not just the best record in the Western Conference but also in the league. After their win over Chicago, the Lakers have improved their away record to an indomitable 9-0.
In addition to this, James is also one of the front runners to win the MVP trophy.
LeBron James and the Lakers have a challenging task this season – to defend their NBA championship. Over the past 20 years, only four teams have managed to go back-to-back when defending their NBA championship – the Lakers (twice), the Miami Heat, and the Golden State Warriors.

LeBron James knows what it takes to help lead a team win back-t0-back NBA championships, having led the Miami Heat to two consecutive trophies in 2012 and 2013.

However, there’s one catch; Despite the Lakers being favorites this season, they have struggled against other big teams. They lost their opening game to the LA Clippers and then had other significant losses to the San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers, and the Golden State Warriors. They must step up to the bigger challenges this season to stand a chance.
Can the LA Lakers win the NBA championship once again this season? Right now, they are still the favorites to win the title again, and if both LeBron and Anthony Davis can continue to improve, they will have the best chance to win the NBA championship.
