After once again proving that he's the best player in the NBA, LeBron James has earned a 98 overall rating in NBA 2K19.

This time, James will be featured in a Lakers jersey rather than a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform. On July 10, James officially signed his four-year, $153 million deal with the Lakers.

With James at the helm, the Lakers hope their young core of Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Summer League participants Josh Hart and Mo Wagner can provide an effective supporting cast.
