The Lakers are coming off dispatching the Portland Trail Blazers 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs.
After scoring a pathetic 93 points in Game 1, L.A. got its mojo back and won the next four games with little difficulty.
Other than a very quiet Game 2, James looked like his vintage self against the Blazers. For the series, he averaged 27.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 10.2 assists a game while shooting 60.0 percent from the field.
At age 35, James has a prime opportunity to win his fourth NBA championship and take his already impressive resume to an even higher level.
