While LeBron is working out for next season, the disrespect the Lakers star receives from CBS

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to have an interesting 2023-24 season ahead of them, especially after the offseason left them with a packed roster with depth and talent.

This coming up after reaching the WCF keeping the team's core and even upgrading from the last campaign. With the regular season less than two months away, CBS Sports recently released its list of the top 100 players in the league but has shown disrespect to LeBron by leaving him out of the top 10 best players in the NBA.

“It’s hard to say what’s more startling: that LeBron James is getting ranked outside of the top 10 for the first time since, probably, his rookie year, or that he could very easily reclaim a top-10 spot when we revisit these rankings in a year,” wrote Sam Quinn.

“Remember, James averaged a cool 33-8-7 during the 23-game period starting with Anthony Davis’ mid-December injury and ending with an injury of his own in mid-February. When he was healthy last season, he was still the same force of nature he’s been for two decades. The hobbled star that led the Lakers to the Western Conference finals last spring wasn’t close to his best, and if his history is any indication, he’ll prove that this season.”

LeBron James is ranked at the 12th spot in the ranking ahead of AD

CBS Sports ranked James 12th, ahead of teammate Anthony Davis and behind Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who were ranked 13th and 11th, respectively.
