LeBron JAMES: “We have to adapt to Doncic”

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James He said the following about playing in the same team with Luka Doncic and his distribution of duties on the field:

“Luka must not adapt to me. Luka is the face of this club. He does not need to change his game. We must adapt to that and act accordingly.”

We just try to be dynamic and work from there. We know he is an incredible shooter in the pick-and-roll game. He controls the defense. Four eyes are looking at him, sometimes six. So our task is to put ourselves in the right positions… For me, this is not a problem. For me this is not a question.

We are trying to survive with the players we have. But it all undoubtedly starts with me and Luca. The ball is in his hands every time we step on the field. The ball will be in my hands. We have to make sure we place our players in the right positions offensively and defensively.

I think the important thing is to understand what you can give in every match. Like Greg Madduck at the end of his career. He doesn’t have the best numbers every night, but he performs well enough to win. I am his “catcher”. You need to understand how to choose pockets for shooting. “Sometimes he tells me ‘fuck you’ and picks his own shot – that’s okay too.”
