LeBron James doesn’t like losing, nor is he all that familiar with it. James hasn’t had a losing record in February since his rookie season, which was also the last time he finished a season with a losing record.
The Los Angeles Lakers, on the other hand, have only known losing for the greater half of this decade. The last time the Lakers finished a season with a winning record was in 2013, when Kobe Bryant willed his team to the playoffs before tragically rupturing his Achilles tendon with two games left in the regular season.
