LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers was front-and-center throughout all of All-Star weekend.
James is one of the biggest stars of the league and has been producing amazing numbers all season long, despite the fact that age and injuries have slowed him down a bit.
James recently surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most all-time points in NBA history and has received so many accolades because of that.
But there has been speculation about his health and the rest of the season.
“It’s 23 of the most important games of my career for a regular season.”

James touched upon that subject on Sunday, commenting on what’s next for him and his Lakers.
“It’s 23 of the most important games of my career for a regular season,” James said about the remaining games.
He’s not wrong: a lot is riding on the next couple of months for James.
If James and the Lakers aren’t able to claw their way into playoff contention, they will miss the postseason for the second year in a row.
The idea of James not getting into the playoffs twice is unheard of.
It would be shocking because of the inclusion of James and Anthony Davis and also due to the fact that the team just revamped its roster with a lot of young and promising talent.
Players like D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Rui Hachimura, and others have improved the team’s chances.
But are they in too deep of a hole to rebound?
James has been a monster throughout all of 2022-23.
Even though he is slower and more injury-prone, he is still one of the best players in the NBA.
Now it’s time to prove if he has the ability to bring his troubled team back from the brink.
