LeBron James has now been part of two of the greatest comebacks in NBA history. The first time, of course, was when his Cleveland Cavaliers came back from a 3-1 deficit against the historically dominant Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals. The second time came on Monday, when the Los Angeles Lakers shot up the NBA Draft Lottery.
Going into Monday’s lottery, the Lakers had the 11th-best odds to win the No. 1 pick and had just a 9.4 percent chance of moving into the top-four.
