A haul of silverware and accolades that includes four MVP awards, three NBA Championships, two Olympic gold medals, fifteen All-Star appearances, and the title of all-time play-off points scorer speak for themselves, and there are few in the modern game who even get close to the 34-year-old. Unfortunately, time is running out in the career of the veteran, and with his current employer the Los Angeles Lakers struggling for form, we must all cross our fingers and toes that James’ time as a post-season playmaker isn’t over. The Golden State Warriors have absolutely dominated the Pacific Division, enjoying a ten-game cushion over their opposition with an outstanding home record of 23-8. The Lakers, Clippers and co simply haven’t been able to cope with the scoring power of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and the Warriors look a certainty to win the Division and have even been tipped up in expert NBA picks to win the whole Championship; no longer can you bet against them on the spread to do exactly that at the Vegas line. Only twice in his career has James missed out on the post-season battle, and he certainly won’t want to tarnish that fine record in the coming weeks and months.
