LeBron James on Monday apologized to Los Angeles Lakers fans for the team's disappointing play and promised that “We'll be better."

"#LakerNation I apologize and I promise we'll be better!" James said on Twitter.

Half of the 2021/2022 season already over and the Lakers have a 21-22 win/loss record in the Western Conference, including three straight defeats.

The fans have been critical of their superstar guard Russell Westbrook lately for his poor shooting performance.

James, on the other hand, averaged 28.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks on 51.9 percent shooting and 36.2 percent from the 3-point line this season.

James is a four-time NBA champion (2012, 2013, 2016, 2020), winning titles with the Miami Heat (2), Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers.

He has been playing for the Lakers since 2018.
