LOL at people acting shocked that age has taken its tool
I'm more interested to see how he copes with age, how he will now adjust his game.
He is going to really have to depend on teammates now and not force them to cater to him, but change his style to cater to them.

Lol lakers will probably be in the finals and goal post will be moved again.
When he doesn't have a true top 5 player like Anthony Davis to cover up all his holes LeBron looks very much like an aged superstar past his prime when he could carry a team on his own.
He's not been top 5 for a few years now.

He was def top 5 last year. Finals MVP putting up 30, 12 and 8 on 59%. We'll see where he ends up this year.
Anthony Davis made him look better by covering his flaws. Remember he led the Lakers in pretty much every stat outside of assists. He was the foundation their defense wax built on. And his shooting provided Bron with spacing.
Now the spacing is worse and the defense doesn't have its center piece anymore. This means LeBron has to exert more energy to get the same numbers he got easily when AD was there. More energy means more fatigue. Which at his age is taking an effect. At 26 years old he could handle this increased load. But at 36 he can't.
Which is why he's not really a top 5 player anymore. Top 5 players can carry the load on their own. LeBron has proven he can't do that in the West (see the 2019 season).
