LeBron James has a good supporting cast that fits well

While many will say that James’ first season in Los Angeles was a fairly, it wasn’t all his fault. James came into a franchise that had been losing quite a bit over the last few seasons and was very young.

In his career, James is used to playing with veterans and some other All-Star caliber players. In his first season in Los Angeles, James didn’t have that. After signing James, the Lakers didn’t make the right moves to surround him with the type of players that he has been successful with.

However, this offseason, the Lakers made it clear that they wanted to get strong three-point shooters who could space the floor and let James operate well in the pick-and-roll. Adding guys like Danny Green and Avery Bradley not only provided James with some good shooters, but they were also strong players on the defensive end of the court.

With a better supporting cast around him this season, James is having one of the best seasons of his career. James is currently leading the league in assists, as he trusts his teammates to make plays when he gives them the ball. James knows what it takes to win a title, and one of those things is a good supporting cast.
