LeBron James

The only player to outlast the Warriors in a seven-game series over the past four years has been LeBron James. With the help of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, James came back down 3-1 in the 2016 NBA Finals and sealed his legacy forever.

Now, he’ll need another superhero-like performance to take down an even more powerful Warriors team that swept his Cavaliers in the 2018 Finals. If there’s one player that can do it, it’s James.

His Cavs were one JR Smith mistake away from winning Game 1 and vastly changing the course of the series. In that game, James put up 51 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Also destroying his hand in frustration, that infamous moment ruined the Cavs.

However, now a Laker, James is rejuvenated with young life and a new showbiz addition. That youth and talent might be able to molded and thrown in the fire in order to come out better and able to defeat the Dubs.

Next. How worried should fans be if Kevin Durant leaves?. dark

It all starts with LeBron James though. Arguably the league’s best player for over a decade, it’s all on him this season. If anyone can almost single-handedly defeated Golden State, it’s LeBron James. He could break their season
