The 2021-22 NBA season was a disaster for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Russell Westbrook experiment failed, and Anthony Davis missed 42 games due to injury. As always, LeBron James picked up the slack and averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists.

Even better, James looked doing it. The perennial All-NBA player and Nike cooked up some fantastic colorways of the Nike LeBron 19 and also brought back some retro sneakers. Before Nike closes the book on the LeBron 19 and starts pushing out the LeBron 20, let's rank the top ten kicks worn by James this past season.
