Luka Dončić has officially arrived for the Los Angeles Lakers. After a few slow games, Los Angeles got its first performance befitting all the hype that came with the former Dallas Mavericks star in a 123-100 win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.

It still doesn't seem real that the Dallas Mavericks traded away the heart of their franchise, Luka Doncic, to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the new normal is here, and for the time being, Doncic will look to help LeBron James lead the Lakers to another NBA title.

LeBron James added 25 points, Austin Reaves scored 23 and Rui Hachimura had 21 when he left holding his left side with 10 minutes remaining — the Lakers didn’t miss him, going on a 12-2 run to stretch their lead to 19.

Coming off two ugly losses, LeBron James took matters into his own hands to get the Los Angeles Lakers back on track with a dominant outing in Thursday's 110-102 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been able to witness LeBron James' greatness for each of the last seven seasons. He has been everything they had hoped for and more. James helped lead them to the NBA title in 2020.

LeBron James broke another NBA record in the Los Angeles Lakers' win over the Portland Trail Blazers as he continues to cement his legacy as one of, if not the, greatest of all-time
