Report: LeBron James Will Make Sure NBA Returns Because It Could Impact Legacy

We don’t really know whether the NBA season will return but the initial plans include a big return in Orlando, Florida. Although some players don’t like the idea of hitting the floor again this summer, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James wants it back because he is trying to protect his legacy.

Many players would love to compete in the NBA’s restarted season in Orlando. Dwight Howard and Kyrie Irving would rather stay home.

“LeBron is going to make sure those games [in Orlando] are played, because he knows they could have a huge impact on his legacy,” an Eastern Conference executive told Tim Bontemps of ESPN. “He knows picking up one or two more titles is the potential tipping point, and he’s determined to go for it.”

LeBron James has a huge legacy to take care of

LeBron’s Lakers led the West and they had a 49-14 record before the season was suspended in on March 11. Caesars Palace suggests that the Lakers are the favorite to win the 2020 NBA title with +180 odds ($100 bet wins $180).

King James has an excellent resume to support this battle. He has 16 All-Star selections, four MVP awards and the third-most points in NBA history. LeBron and his teams have made the NBA finals on nine different occasions.

LeBron has been in the GOAT conversation and people have been mentioning him in the same sentence with Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. The Bulls icon has six titles and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has six too. Late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant has five. LeBron has three.

He can easily fit a few more titles in his resume. However, this doesn’t change the fact that LeBron has been putting up some really crazy stats in his career. He is on top of almost every NBA list, and things are about to get really hot.

This was one of the best seasons LeBron has ever had, and the suspension affected his plans. Let’s see if his team will be able to hit the floor again this summer or even win a title. The Lakers have a good championship run, and they are about to do wonders.
