LeBron James may still wear the crown, but according to Charles Barkley, it is time to hand over the throne, because this Los Angeles Lakers team now belongs to Luka Doncic.
Barkley says the Lakers are now Doncic's team, not LeBron’s
“It’s already probably Luka’s team now,” Barkley said on The Bill Simmons Show. “You don’t sign, trade for Luka Doncic, give him all that money, and it’s not his team.”
Barkley didn’t stop there. He compared LeBron’s current reality to what other all-time greats went through late in their careers, stepping back so the next generation could lead.
