Anthony Davis' injury thrusts the Lakers' focal point back to LeBron, but how much more can King James do?

For LeBron, the next month will be a real balancing act in A.D.'s absence

The LeBron James GOAT coronation just got complicated.

For LeBron, this season was always going to be largely defined by his pursuit of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record -- a mark, at this rate, he should surpass around mid-February. Had things gone to plan, LeBron's pursuit would have overlapped with a passing of the torch of sorts to Anthony Davis.

LeBron, the King, setting the ultimate historical-scoring crown atop his head, while also passing along the mantle of No. 1 on this Lakers team to Davis.
