Darvin Ham considers LeBron, Westbrook and Davis the backbone of the Lakers

After the official presentation of Darvin Ham as the new technical director of the Los Angeles Lakers, it is clear that LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis will continue to form the backbone of the yellow and purple team.

And it is that the coach of the Los Angeles quintet assured in his presentation press conference that he has all the elements of the “Big Three”. “I spoke with LeBron on my first day in the gym and both he and I want to start the preseason as soon as possible. I also met with Westbrook and he is committed to us,” Ham said in an event broadcast live by the official Lakers accounts.

About Anthony Davis, the coach who was Mike Brown’s assistant in the Lakers from 2011-2012 indicated that “he is the key player of the team and who can be decisive in leading us to fight for the championship. His defensive and offensive skills, and its size, make it essential for us, although we need it healthy”.

But Ham’s biggest accolade turned out to be Russel Westbrook, whom he called “the best player our league has ever seen.”
