Even at 37 years old, he is still one of the top players in the league. 

Last season, he averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per contest.

However, the Lakers struggled, going just 33-49, which had them miss the NBA Playoffs and the play-in tournament. 

This was their second time in the last four seasons missing the NBA Playoffs, but the roster has James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis, so if healthy, they should be a contender to win the NBA Championship.

As for the Warriors, they are coming off winning the NBA Championship over the Boston Celtics last June. 

That was their fourth title in the last eight seasons (and six times in the NBA Finals during that period). 

In 2020 and 2021, they missed the NBA Playoffs, but they have now returned to being the best team in the NBA. 

James has faced off with the Warriors in the NBA Finals four times (when he was on the Cleveland Cavaliers). 

The Warriors went 3-1 in those battles.
