When LeBron James committed to singing a four-year, $153.3 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, it was a monumental victory for the franchise, not just because they got arguably the greatest player to every step foot on the hardwood to sign with a 35-win team, but because they got James to come by himself.
That’s right: for the first time since the 2009-10 season, James will be the lone All-Star on his team. It will also mark just the third time in seven seasons James will be the only player on his team to have averaged at least 20 points per game in the season prior, per basketball-reference.
