LeBron James and the Lakers might need an offseason sales department.
The Lakers were viewed with considerable skepticism, based on their poor roster, the shaky status of coach Luke Walton and a general lack of faith in the front-office tandem of Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka. Those who picked the Lakers as the top"win-now" option pointed to a single, overriding factor: LeBron.
James failed to make a mark in a question about the MVP race and came in fifth when players were asked which player they would pick if they were starting a team from scratch. Of 117 fielded votes, James took second by a thin margin over Kobe Bryant . Michael Jordan still reigns supreme with 73% of respondents claiming they still want to be like Mike.
