Frank Vogel Reveals Why LeBron James Is Still Great At Age 35

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel has a high opinion of superstar LeBron James. King James plays his best basketball, and he is about to lead the Lakers to a deep postseason. This season, LeBron is averaging 25.5 points, 7.7 boards, 1.2 steals, 0.5 blocks and 10.6 assists per game, while shooting at 49.4% from the floor.

LeBron is in Year 17 of his magnificent career, and he defies Father Time. Numerous analysts have predicted a drop in his performance, but LeBron proves them wrong. LeBron is the most celebrated athlete on planet Earth. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr once said that LeBron is the best athlete in the world.

Vogel shares the same opinion. LeBron sat out the game against the Warriors as he nursed a sore groin. However, he didn’t miss the chance to support his team in the brilliant 116-86 win.

Frank Vogel has words of praise for LeBron James

The head coach talked to media members after the game. He’s well aware of the fact that the Lakers look different without LeBron on the floor. Of course, they were able to step up their game.

Vogel said the Lakers are different on both ends of the floor. King James is “the best communicator” on the defensive end. The superstar calls out coverages and puts players in the right spots.

LeBron’s resurgence on the defensive end has been a positive surprise. We are used to seeing him on the other side of the ball. LeBron tries really hard to be more productive this season. He owns the Lakers a title, and yes, he is able to win one.

Vogel will probably try to convince LeBron that he needs to rest more. His health is of utmost importance for LA, because without LeBron, the team won’t be able to win the title. LeBron and Anthony Davis make the perfect match, and they actually hold the entire team together. It’s a long season, but the Lakers are fit for the challenge. They have all the talent in the league. How will the team finish the season? LeBron hopes for a title. Davis hopes for a title. Every Laker hopes for a title.
