LeBron James: Lakers ‘Long Way’ & Have To Take ‘Bumps And Bruises’ Before Challenging Warriors For NBA Championship

While he spent the first 15 years of his career in the Eastern Conference, LeBron James has become quite familiar with the juggernaut that is the Golden State Warriors.

He managed to slay the dragon with a stunning upset in the 2016 NBA Finals, but the Warriors returned with Kevin Durant and dispatched of James and the Cleveland Cavaliers for back-to-back championships.

Now with the Los Angeles Lakers, the 14-time All-Star will get an opportunity to face the Warriors double the amount of times during the regular season, and perhaps match wits in the Western Conference playoffs.
