There are few players in NBA history who were capable of raising a team's floor in the way LeBron James was during his prime. The start to the 2025-26 season has offered glimpses of Luka Doncic that look very reminiscent of the player James was back then.
The Lakers have posted a strong 10-4 record to begin the new campaign. Doncic missed a bit of time near the start of the year due to injuries, but when available, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has led his team to a 7-3 mark with him in the lineup thanks to some stellar individual play.
