Kendrick Perkins on LeBron James
Kendrick Perkins was on the First take along with Stephen A. Smith and in a debate of whether LeBron James is underappreciated as a scorer, after what is now official, LeBron James is the #2 NBA all-time leading scorer after surpassing the ‘Mail Man’ Karl Malone. Kendrick Perkins was of the opinion that LeBron James is underappreciated, which he elaborates using alcohol, each has their preference, but what is common between them is that they both get you drunk. LeBron James is an all-around player, making people around him better, and taking for granted what he is bringing outside the role of playing as a facilitator.
Kendrick Perkins said, “I think we look at LeBron because he is complete basketball player because he makes guys around him better, then we take for granted his dominance on how he got those buckets in the paint before he started shooting his 3. Yes, he might not be the best shooter but at the end of the day he has 36,000 plus points, and by the time he is finished he would be the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. So yes, I do think that he is underappreciated.”

Can LeBron James take the Lakers through to the playoffs?
LeBron James is having a record-breaking season, LeBron James is getting his name everywhere, from being the only NBA All-Star captain to win 5 out of 5 games in the NBA All-star to being the only player with more than 10,000 points, 10,000 assists, and 10,000 rebounds. He is making history with every game of the season. LeBron James in his 19th season in the NBA is in the top for the scoring title, he is averaging 30.0 points per game while playing lesser games than Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
LeBron James as we all know is another beast in the playoffs, and if the Playoffs were to start right now, we would be turning out heads towards LeBron James and the Lakers to win it. But the reality is that Lakers are not in their full strength, with Anthony Davis still out injured, the responsibility is concentrated towards LeBron James to get the Lakers buckets. With Russell Westbrook looking lively in the last couple of games, it will come as a slight relief for the Lakers fans to see Westbrook put up decent performances. LeBron James and the Lakers chances to cement a play-in spot look like almost done if Russell Westbrook and the others get their act together for the Lakers.
