Earlier in the season, King James was dominated by Leonard. Well, that’s what some analysts said. Some said that the Lakers superstar didn’t want the smoke with Leonard. He wanted to guard someone else.

According to a recent report LZ Granderson of the Los Angeles Times, Lakers assistant coach Phil handy spoke about King James and how he was targeting Leonard prior to Sunday’s game. This strategy really worked because LeBron and his Lakers defeated the Clippers.

“People forget what he gets like after the All-Star break; he’s a different guy,” Handy said. “He’s preparing himself for that — that’s what you saw today and Milwaukee, you see him saying ‘Let me get myself and help my team in the right frame of mind.’ So for him diving on the floor for loose balls and taking the challenge defensively, that’s what you see. Last night I texted LeBron and asked him who he wanted to guard and he texted back, ‘I’m guarding Kawhi [Leonard].’ ”

LeBron and Kawhi may meet in June
