.@KingJames' legacy among the 75 greatest @Lakers:
If you close your eyes and imagine the Lakers greats, do you see him in purple and gold? latimes.com/sports/lakers/…

Maybe you see the 18-year-old kid with the long arms.
Maybe he's in front of a Miami crowd decked in all white, celebrating his first championship. Or maybe you see him in Cleveland, surrounded by adoring fans hanging off of every possible structure. latimes.com/sports/lakers/…

A groin injury cut his first season short, robbing the #Lakers of the chance to find out if James could’ve carried a group of former first-rounders in the postseason. His second season paused with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. latimes.com/sports/lakers/… 
He’s defied age in a way no one has before. After turning 30, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged 25 points two more times before he retired. James has averaged at least 25 points a game in every season of his 19-year career except for his rookie year. latimes.com/sports/lakers/…
James has had great moments for the Lakers: out-of-nowhere blocks, 3s from the midcourt logo, twisting dunks and 50-point outbursts.
But where does he fit in purple-and-gold lore?
