Jefferson on LeBron at the Lakers: “To be considered the best in an organization, it takes stability”
Referring to LeBron James and his presence with the Lakers over the past four years, Richard Jefferson stressed that to be considered the best, there must be stability, which the Los Angeles team doesn’t have.
LeBron James and Richard Jefferson lived with the Cavaliers from 2015-2017 and celebrated an NBA championship together in 2016. Now The King is playing for the Lakers while Jefferson has retired.
However, the veteran forward was asked to comment on LeBron’s journey with the Lakers over the past four years, stating that a lack of stability meant LeBron couldn’t be among the organization’s top players.
“This is LeBron’s fourth season with the Lakers. For two years they didn’t even make the playoffs, in one they were knocked out in the first round and in the other they won the championship. If you look back over the years there is no consistency being considered one of his best organizations. To be a player like LeBron and to be considered a top player in an organization requires stability.
