LeBron James might be the best basketball player of his generation but he’s also the Los Angeles Lakers’ biggest problem, at least according to Stephen A. Smith.The ESPN Radio host and television personality suggested age, attrition and the lingering effect of the longest injury layoff of his career were taking their toll on the 15-time All-Star.“The biggest problem with the Los Angeles Lakers is LeBron James,” Smith said on Tuesday on ESPN’s First Take.
Six players came off the bench to combine for a pitiful seven points.Of the Lakers’ promising young players, Kuzma and Ingram are averaging 19.1 and 17.2 points per game this season, respectively.
