Richard Jefferson Says LeBron James 'Has Not Done Enough' to Be Among Lakers' Greats

Even though he is one of the greatest players in NBA history, will he be remembered as one of the greats of the LA Lakers?

Richard Jefferson, who won the 2016 NBA title with James, doesn't think that's true.

James made an appearance on the Road Trippin' podcasts.

The Laker has not done enough to get on that list. He's been there for four seasons, right? They have been there for four years. They haven't made the playoffs. They lost in the first round of the playoffs. One year later they won a title.

It's difficult to say if James will be remembered as one of the greats in L.A. He led the team to an NBA title in 2020, but he is entering his fifth season in purple and gold.

James may help the franchise win another title before his time in L.A. The four-time NBA champion will need some help in his quest for a fifth title, and the Lakers roster doesn't look much better than it did a year ago.

If James becomes one of the Lakers greats, he'll join a list that also includes Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson.
