Part 5/6:
Deans raises a broader point about the construction of narratives in sports journalism, particularly with ESPN. He cites instances where the focus seems to pivot around crafting a story rather than portraying the reality of the game's statistics or the player’s performance. The notion that LeBron needs more help is, in Deans’ view, an oversimplification of the problem. He suggests that the conversation should focus instead on whether the Lakers should consider reducing LeBron's playing time or even changing his role on the team.
