LeBron James is getting ready for a big 2022/23 NBA season with his Los Angeles Lakers. Following a terrible campaign where the Big 3 of James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook didn’t work at all, the 4x NBA champion is trying his best to return in excellent shape and challenged the Golden State Warriors for the title.
James will be 38 when next season comes to an end, but that doesn’t stop the player from trying to get better. He keeps improving his level and it seems like his focus this season has been the long-range shots. He has shared a series of videos in the gym, showing that he’s not done and will try to win more next season.
However, these videos don’t always impress fans. Still, he’s working hard to destroy the competition after a very bad season. Chris Johnson Hoops shared a video training LeBron, and Bleacher Report asked fans how many points the King would score next season, sparking a big conversation.
LeBron will average ___ PPG in year 20 👑

While some just trolled Bron, others explained what could happen if certain things align for the Lakers or not.

Next season will be challenging for LeBron. After winning the 2020 championship in the bubble, the Purple and Gold have struggled to get things going and compete in the Western Conference. Many believe that things will be different if they land Kyrie Irving or they keep Russell Westbrook. Time will tell which one is, but some fans are definitely excited about this next season.
LeBron will have the chance to become the No. 1 scorer of all time in the NBA, but besides that, he’ll try to lead his team to have another deep playoff run and see if they can dethrone the Golden State Warriors.
