The new-look Los Angeles Lakers finally got a taste of what it is to play with LeBron James, their best player, and the one expected to lead this squad to conquer the NBA world once again. Even with Anthony Davis on the roster, LeBron remains the best player on the team, as well as the leader of the unit.
On Wednesday night, the Purple and Gold played against the New Orleans Pelicans, with LeBron making his return to the court after dealing with an ankle injury. The King had a solid night, dropping 21 points, and helping the Lakers get a big win over the Pelicans.
Lakers fans were hyped up after this game, showing their excitement with the team, which looked very well on the court. The addition of D’Angelo Russell has worked wonders for the Lakers, and the player has stated that playing with LeBron and Anthony Davis is very easy.

If this doesn’t make Lakers fans dream about their team’s chances in this campaign, LeBron’s activity on social media probably will do. After Bleacher Report shared a post praising the chemistry this team showed during last night’s game, the King reacted to it.
Bron liked the post, seemingly agreeing with it. This team’s chemistry is remarkable, and even though many fans recalled it was just one game, they showed flashes of a very good team.
The Lakers have struggled a lot in the past two seasons. Following their championship run in 2020, the Purple and Gold haven’t been close to reliving those moments, recording one first-round exit in 2020-21, missing the playoffs in 2021-22, and now ranking 13th in the West this season.
Perhaps all these moves, which included trading Russell Westbrook away, will help them play at the highest level and have a better case at the NBA championship. It’ll take some time before they finally mesh, but the 17-time NBA champions look ready to at least compete for one more trophy.
