LeBron James has officially reached the end of one of the most absurd streaks in NBA history. After 1,297 consecutive games, James has finally failed to score at least 10 points in a single outing. In turn, his detractors have been convinced that the end is nigh.

For the Los Angeles Lakers, however, James' streak ending is a blessing in disguise that will finally allow him to ease into his new role with the team.
