James Worthy Reflects On LeBron James’ Lakers Run, Gotta Appreciate The Bubble Ring!

James Worthy isn’t saying “good riddance” to LeBron James … telling TMZ Sports it’s a new era of the NBA — so he’ll appreciate the one ring the King brought to the City of Angels.

Some folks in Laker Nation were happy to see the four-time champion leave town … essentially saying he wasn’t a good fit for the franchise or could live up to the expectations put on him.

Not Worthy, though … and he pointed to the state of the organization prior to his arrival — which was “misery.”

“For what he did for L.A. while he was here, I don’t think you can argue,” the Showtime Lakers alum said at Derek Fisher‘s Be Better Foundation golf outing last week.

Worthy — who won three titles and a Finals MVP — said he won’t knock James for only getting the bubble ring … ’cause dynasties are hard to come by in this day and age.

Worthy told us three years ago it could be possible James got a statue outside Crypto.com Arena someday, depending on how his career ended … so how does he feel now that it’s over??
