The NBA has become a superstar driven league over the past decade — arguably since the infamous “The Decision” special, with LeBron James announcing his intentions to join the Miami Heat. This not only spurned other teams but forced other teams, like the New York Knicks, to eye star players, to try to compete with James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.
James found success over the past 15 years, except for the 2018-19 season, which may be his lowest as a professional. The Los Angeles Lakers are 31-39, having just lost their most recent game to the Knicks and a Mario Hezonja block as time expired.
