Tyson Chandler Makes Touching Revelation About The Relationship With LeBron James

Remember how Tyson Chandler and the Dallas Mavericks took down the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals in 2011? Eight years later, LeBron James and Tyson are playing on the same squad.

Chandler talked about his evolution throughout the past few years.

“Same player, but then of course as you get older you get wiser. You understand the game a lot better and you’re able to contribute in other ways. When you’re young, you’re just running around and moving. So for me it’s the mental aspect of the game as I’ve been able to learn more and been seasoned, I feel like I’ve gotten better throughout the years.”

Nothing beats the fact that Chandler had a lot more to offer when he was in his prime en route to the 2011 tittle. But, he was the right player to join the Los Angeles Lakers this season.

What has Tyson Chandler noticed from King James over this period?

“He’s grown so much. I think after that finals he really started to evolve and change his game. Of course from the moment he stepped into the league, he’s been one of the best players in the league and then grown into the best player in the league, but I think at that time, we saw some things on film and put together some defensive plans to try and guard him in different ways.”

“Then the following year he had none of those flaws. So clearly he’s an incredible student of the game and continues to get better as he gets older. And then I had the opportunity to play with him on the Olympic team in London, and I couldn’t believe how much better he got just in those couple of years. He just led that team, played 1-5, guarded 1-5, he led practice every day. I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing. And he was then fresh off of a championship, and the Olympics and all that is literally only weeks later. I couldn’t believe the type of level he was playing at for that long.”
