Laker LeBron Gets A ‘B’ From Me
… No Statue!!!
Published
Byron Scott feels LeBron James could’ve done more with the Los Angeles Lakers … telling TMZ Sports he’s giving the King a “B” grade for his time in Purple and Gold.
We caught up with the Showtime Lakers alum this week … fresh off the news that James would be playing elsewhere for his 24th season in the NBA.
Scott said the change is a win for both sides — but when reflecting on the past eight seasons, he admitted he expected multiple championships with James … not just the one he secured in 2020.
Scott admitted once the Lake Show traded for Luka Doncic, the wheels were in motion to move on from the LeBron era … and now L.A. can build around the younger Slovenian superstar with the money it would’ve spent to keep James.
As for LeBron, he still thinks he can play at a high level … and Cleveland would be a great place to end his Hall of Fame career.
There’s been a lengthy debate over whether James would get a statue outside Crypto.com Arena … and Scott explained why that should NOT happen.
