No matter how much everything has been told about a story, it is always worth living it from the inside, as is the case with Darwin Ham con LeBron James, a year and a half already at his side but still incredulous with what he sees of The King from the bowels of the Lakers as coach of those in purple and gold. “It’s his passion, that’s what impresses me the most about him,” Ham responded, with that lost look of someone trying to assimilate something. The coach of the purple and gold team shared his personal reflection with MD about what surprised him most about Bron living with him before the Los Angeles team fulfilled his obligation in Toronto without surprises (111-128).
It must be for that reason, out of pure passion and love for the game, that LeBron applies himself like he did last morning. On a unpleasant night, of cold and wind, of having to cross borders and procedures before the Raptors in full reconstruction who carry the label of worst team in the NBA Due to the current streak -14 consecutive losses-, The King reigned with 23 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds in a lesson in wisdom, mettle and efficiency, with a 10/12 in field goals.
Also facing an easy target to rest with his battered right ankle, He might not have wanted to do so much and so well, but LeBron gave an impeccable example of professionalism.
The warmth of the Toronto public invited him to do so with a strident ovation despite the several times that the ’23’ has kept the Raptors from the playoffs, with the painful 4-0 defeat in the Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers in 2018 and its consequences on memory: Coach of the Year, Dwane Casey, out and packed DeMar DeRozan heading to San Antonio by Kawhi Leonard.
Necessity also forced LeBron, since the irregularity of those in purple and gold and the demands of the West continue to expose them to the risk of staying sin playoffs.
“LeBron is consistent with his regimen, with his routine. He loves to play, there are times when he doesn’t like to play many minutes but he goes out to kick ass,” Darvin Ham also highlighted, agreeing with LeBron with such a recital of productivity in just one game. 28 minutes, knowing that he had to take a step forward as a precaution, since the Raptors showed honor and enthusiasm despite their outlook, only down 58-64 at halftime.
The return of Immanuel Quickley and of RJ Barrett, The Canadian’s first game after the death of his brother made the team more competitive. Darko Rajakovic with 20 and 28 points. It is being difficult for the Serbian coach, the second coach born in Europe in the entire history of the NBA, to manage his rookie season with so many injuries and changes in plans with the transfers of Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and Dennis Schröder.
All the stars aligned, Anthony Davis He had 21 points and 12 rebounds, while D’Angelo Russell He left 25 points with 7/14 in triples. The Lakers offered a very good tune to outwit the Raptors’ defensive ambushes with passes and three-pointers, with up to 38 assists and 18/41 in three-pointers (44%). It is on days like these that you can see the love of basketball, the one that LeBron continues to play for. 39 chestnuts.
