He averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and a steal per game.<\/p>\n<p>His 22nd season marked a success for the Lakers, as he continues to set NBA records that will be difficult for the next stars to chase after.<\/p>\n<p>He also helped Los Angeles secure the third seed in the West standings alongside new co-star Luka Doncic, a massive improvement from the back-to-back finishes at the seventh seed.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Lakers&#8217; playoff run ended early after losing in the first round to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games, there is a lot of upside for them moving forward. With James and Doncic proving themselves to be a strong duo, the team will look to retool the unit so they can maximize the potential and compete for the championship next season.<\/p>\n<p>James has a player option he can accept or decline for the upcoming 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n<p>If he accepts, he will earn $52.6 million. If he declines, he can negotiate a new deal that would increase his salary or take a possible pay cut to help the Lakers significantly improve the roster.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakers star LeBron James won a humorous end-of-season award that compilated his funniest moments through the 2024-25 NBA season.
