Los Angeles Lakers: Is LeBron James being too passive?

The Los Angeles Lakers are in the midst of one of their best starts in franchise history, and LeBron James is having yet another career year, especially in terms of being a playmaker. Before the start of the season, it was announced that LeBron would be assuming the primary point guard duties, and so far he has excelled at that role, leading the league in assists per game by a huge margin at 10.8.

His playmaking alongside the incredible two-way play of Anthony Davis, and the solid contributions across the board from the Lakers role players have all been huge factors in the overall success of this Lakers team.
