Part 8/11:
Sans observes that since LeBron has been less involved, the Lakers appear to be “figuring things out,” and the team’s performance has looked more fluid and confident. He asserts that the narrative about the Lakers being weak or not talented is unfounded, implying that Lakers are capable of competing and succeeding without LeBron’s constant presence.
He also dismisses the notion that LeBron’s era of dominance means the Lakers are destined for immediate titles. Instead, he points out that the team and its fans are evolving and adapting, which is naturally causing some fans to become uneasy or resentful about the perceived power shift.
