Off the court, the LA Lakers star is a proud father of three children. Back in 2016, fresh off of leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first title in franchise history a few months prior, James' parenting skills were brought to the locker room, as he was left to clean up after his teammates.

While James averaged 24.0 points per game through his first eight contests, he lacked efficiency, shooting just 43.1% from the field and 20.7% from three-point range.
