For the first time in LeBron James’ lengthy career, he’ll be defending the throne instead of chasing after it. The moment he starts game 1 of 82 in November, he’ll be a defending champion, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be “watching the throne” and gunning for two straight.

A few extra angles are below, so give it a look and let us know what you think.
