LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are getting ready to face the Memphis Grizzlies.
The first round of the playoffs will be very challenging for the Purple and Gold.
Ahead of the big series, Stephen Jackson made a bold claim about LeBron James.
According to former player-turned-analyst Stephen Jackson, scouting reports are working on LeBron James.
Jackson claims that after all these years, the King has started to slow down.

The King still has it, and he can create a lot of trouble for rivals, but things aren’t as easy as before.
As usual, fans reacted to this assessment, calling out Jackson for stating the obvious.
“Scouting reports starting to work on LeBron.” – says Stephen Jackson. After 20 years, 4 Rings, 4 MVPs, 4 Finals MVPs, 19 All-Stars, 18 All-NBA, 67 NBA records & scoring the most points all-time. Gotcha.

Others defended LeBron, saying that at his age, he’s doing impressive things.

The craziest part of this is that 20 years needed to happen before we reached this point.
James has been so dominant from the beginning of his career that he’s just starting to show signs of slowing down.
The Lakers turned this season around and became a real threat to the Western Conference.
With Anthony Davis and LeBron James healthy, the Lakers look very dangerous.
If the Lakers manage to make a deep playoff run, we could be witnessing history.
James has stated he wants to win that 5th ring, and today, the journey begins for him.
Don’t sleep on the Lakers, as they look to prove doubters wrong.
