Frank Vogel Jokes About LeBron James Dishing Him Assists on The Sidelines

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel can’t wait to have both LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the floor. The four-time NBA champion hasn’t played since March 20. AD left the floor in mid-February. Lakers players struggled in their absence. But, LeBron is still here. He helps his teammates and celebrates their success. He motivates them to do better on the floor. Saw what happened in the game against the Brooklyn Nets? LA won. A shorthanded Lakers team defeated the Brooklyn Nets.

LeBron hasn’t played for the Lakers since suffering his high-ankle sprain in the game against the Atlanta Hawks. But he is a visible presence on the Lakers’ bench. King James and Anthony Davis are out due to injuries. However, they traveled with the team. It’s a seven-game road trip. Both superstars celebrate every success their teammates have. LeBron’s energy is contagious, and it rubs on his teammates.

The Lakers head coach even joked that LeBron can help him in one thing. His presence on the sidelines is valuable.

“He’s got a great impact on our group, on our guys’ energy and things we’re doing each day,” Vogel said, per LakersNation.com “Good to have him arguing with the refs with me. An extra added weapon in these situations (laughs). It’s just great to have him around.”

LeBron showed everyone that the injury won’t stop him from giving his teammates a boost. LeBron is not wearing his Lakers jersey but he is here to motivate everyone. He is the ultimate leader and players follow his example.

The kid from Akron is averaging 25.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.9 assists, and a steal. He is shooting 51.3% from the field and 36.8% from beyond the arc. LeBron, AD, and all the players on the Lakers bench had a lot of reasons to celebrate last night. LA defeated the Nets. They finished the night with a 126-101 win. This was one of their best games on the season. Vogel said so.
