LeBron James became the oldest player to record a triple-double Sunday, but it may take a miracle to restore the King and his Lakers atop their throne
Although the Lakers have stumbled their way through the first two months of the NBA season, no one can say LeBron James hasn’t done his part in trying to keep Los Angeles afloat in the western conference.

The 2019-20 NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers were a much deeper team than just two stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

We here at Deadspin sometimes have differing opinions.
