LeBron James Reveals The One Thing He Told Lonzo Ball During His Rookie Season

The Los Angeles Lakers made a trip to Cleveland last season, and the then-rookie guard Lonzo Ball and LeBron James shared a moment on the court at the end of the matchup. LeBron was a Cavalier at the time. It’s the conversation we knew nothing about as both players covered their mouths with their jerseys.

There was so much speculation on the subject of this convo, but both Lonzo Ball and LeBron James didn’t say anything about it. When reporters asked for more details, both players refused to give any.

LeBron is now on the same team as Lonzo, and the topic was brought at Los Angeles Lakers media day on Monday. The king of basketball had an interview with Mason & Ireland, and talked about the summary of the conversation.

“The gist of it was at the end of the day, no one can define who you are but yourself. When you’re young, you can get caught up and listening to what people say, what people thinking that you should be, what people saying what your game should be. But at the end of the day, no one can define who are you besides yourself. If you put in the work, you commit the game, then the game will give back to you and that’s all it’s about.”

LeBron talked a lot about Ball and the Lakers’ young core in general. It’s more than clear that LeBron was Ball’s fan long before he inked a deal with the Lakers. Yes, there’s a huge possibility that he knew about his move to LA at the time.

The Lakers will enter the new season with a compact team made of veterans, young talents and LeBron James. This says pretty much everything you need to know about the team and their final destination.
