With each passing year, it becomes more and more challenging for LeBron to win another ring because the NBA has witnessed emergence of young superstars like Nikola Jokic, Anthony Edwards, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. If Anthony Davis plays at a high level and Lakers role players impact the game in the right way, LeBron James might win a 5th ring before he retires, but winning 6 championships does look an almost impossible task as of 2024.
