Famous reporter: James believes that the Lakers do not pay enough attention to his contribution and turn their attention to Doncic

Today, ESPN reporters Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst wrote an article about the relationship between James and the Lakers.

reported that LeBron James believes that the Lakers did not pay full attention to his contribution, but instead turned their attention to Luca Doncic.

James understands the Lakers' approach to seizing the opportunity to turn to young superstars. But from James' perspective, some details are sometimes overlooked during the transition. Doncic never asked to join the Lakers. James took the initiative to choose the Lakers. When he joined the team in 2018, the Lakers had missed the playoffs for five consecutive seasons, which was the worst period since the team moved to Los Angeles. Two years later, James helped the team win the 17th championship in team history.

Ritchie Paul also reportedly must formally inform the Lakers that James intends to execute his final year player options on his contract. Previously, the team did not have substantial discussions on the one-to-two-year contract extension, although they did so twice while James was at the Lakers. It was at this time that he let the team know about the upcoming statement.
