LeBron James has been one of the top players in the NBA for the majority of his basketball career. However, many expected him to fall off in his 30s. In fact, when he joined the Los Angeles Lakers, most fans believed that the King was already finished and that he only joined the team to focus on his life off the court.

Finney-Smith, a veteran 3-and-D wing who the Lakers have coveted for some time, relishes going from a rebuilding franchise to one he believes is trying to contend for a championship.
