"There's no doubt that LeBron James has regressed just a bit in terms of production this season for the Los Angeles Lakers. Averaging 20.5 points, 6.7 assists and 4.9 rebounds, while shooting 50.7% from field goal range and 31.7% from beyond the arc, James is in the midst of a career-low season, putting together lower averages than he boasted throughout his rookie campaign in 2003."
"The Washington Wizards ongoing struggles over recent years have put them in position to be the butt of nearly every joke. Washington has been stuck in a constant state of mediocrity and with that comes the fact that when bad teams or players in the NBA are talked about, the Wizards tend to be the standard."
""This is what LeBron doesn't understand, it hasn't sunk in," Mitchell said. "Whatever team you go to, you're the 3rd option. You're not going to a team when you're the 1st"
The Washington Wizards have endured years of mediocrity and frequently serve as the standard for underperforming NBA teams. Rebuilding moves have brought together promising young prospects who have shown flashes of potential, but the roster has not escaped ridicule. LeBron James has produced career-low averages this season yet remains effective at age 40, averaging 20.5 points, 6.7 assists and 4.9 rebounds on 50.7% shooting. Persistent injuries and a reduced playmaking role have accompanied that decline. Public criticism of elite players has renewed jokes targeting the Wizards' status. A high-profile claim suggested LeBron would not be the team's top option.
