LeBron James Gets Unexpected Compliment From NFL Analyst

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all times, and everyone knows it, including his haters. Well, Akbar Gbaja-Biamila has something to say about it.

Gbaja-Biamila is an analyst on NFL Network, and he shouted out via his Twitter by LeBron because of the new piece he wrote.

“I have only met him a handful of times,” Akbar Gbaja-Biamila told Cameron Buford. “But I just came out with a brand new book. I am a first-time author and it is extreme to promote your book and LeBron James took my book and put it on one of his promotions.

“I did not ask him or pay him for it, but he made me very conscious of helping the generation behind. Bring them into either the sports or entertainment and paying it forward. So, using his platform, which is a massive platform to help me out when it wasn’t prompted or asked.”

LeBron’s first season with the Lakers was a total failure, but he wasn’t responsible for the bad game the team had. That’s why he promised a better season.

“I like being uncomfortable in the offseason,” LeBron James told The Athletic’s Joe Vardon. “I like being counted out. It motivates me. I’ve had basically the same offseason training regimen the last eight years. I knew how long I wanted to rest for the season on a short timeline. I’m figuring out now how to get as much as I can out of two months of extra time for training. It requires a totally different strategy. We’re looking at it in an entirely new way.”

“He didn’t really get to do his thing on the court,” ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne told the Scoop B Radio Podcast. “With LeBron, he’s signed for four years and I think he’s as happy with how this went as anyone, I don’t think LeBron blames anyone for this, and so I thought about it, but that’s more of what it feels like, this first year didn’t go so well.”

The Lakers have six players from the previous season. King James, Kyle Kuzma, JaVale McGee, Rajon Rondo, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Alex Caruso stayed with the team.

Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Dwight Howard, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Danny Green, Avery Bradley, Jared Dudley, Quinn Cook, Troy Daniels and rookie Talen Horton-Tucker joined the team this summer.

Head coach Frank Vogel and assistant coach Jason Kidd are reaponsible for the team’s success for the 2019-20.
