This is for everybody,” Fudge, a Lakers forward on a two-way contract to play offense and defense, told Andscape after the game. “I trusted him and now we’re here. Just knowing that he is thinking about us is a blessing. Not too many people are like that. That just says who LeBron is.”

LeBron and his teammates did an incredible job. Davis was brilliant in the tournament and his performance in the win over the Indiana Pacers was more than effective. The big man scored 41 points and 20 rebounds. Reaves showed great stats in the tournament as well.
