LeBron James is trying to get the Lakers back to the playoffs.

The Lakers have not been doing well. They have been struggling a lot and haven’t had the chance to go on a good run. 

The Lakers are not on pace to make it to the playoffs. If they want to make it to the playoffs, they need to start winning games. 

They need to crash the boards and stop giving away free points. 

“Offensive rebounds and points off turnovers,” says Lebron James. 

James is frustrated and doesn’t know how else to help the Lakers be successful in this basketball season. 

James hates losing and hates not being able to play for a championship. He doesn’t play just to play anymore. 

“I’m a winner, I want to win and give myself a chance to win and still compete for championships. That has always been my passion. It’s always been my goal since I entered the league… Once you get there and you know how to get there, playing basketball at this level just to be playing basketball is not in my DNA… We’ll see what happens and how fresh my mind stays over the next couple years,” says James.

James doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t like playing basketball at the level the Lakers are playing as he is getting older and is 39 years old.

James wants to retire and win a championship. He knows how good he is and knows what he can do for the team. 

“I don’t want to finish my career playing at this level from a team aspect. I want to be able to compete for championships because I know what I can still bring to the table for any ball club with the right pieces,” says James. 

James led the Lakers with 27 points, nine rebounds and six assists against the Heat on Dec. 29.
