Los Angeles Lakers Coach Makes Interesting Statement About Superstar Player

The Los Angeles Lakers are just one game away from once again being in the Western Conference Finals, with the tough Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets awaiting them, but with the likes of LeBron James leading the way, they will always be confidence about their chances.

Speaking of, James was recently elected to an All-NBA team for the 19th time in his career, this time the All-NBA Third Team alongside Damian Lillard, De'Aaron Fox, Julius Randle and Damontas Sabonis, but according to his Head Coach Darvin Ham, James deserved much more.

Lakers head coach Darvin Ham says it’s “amazing” that LeBron James made the all-NBA third team at 38 years old and he should’ve been named to the first team for excelling at his age.

In fact, Ham believes that James, who appeared in just 55 games this season deserved to be on the All-NBA First Team (above who? Jayson Tatum? Giannis Antetokounmpo?), because of the way he has carried himself in his age-38 season, and while it's impressive, it's tough to see James being worthy of First-Team over either forward put on the roster this year.
