James is the greatest leader in basketball history, so he knows how to lead a team. James is very good to his teammates, which is impressive even when he leaves the Lakers' water cooler manager. For example, Swider and Pippen Jr., who were in the Lakers last season, were very surprised that James actually knew the names of their two temporary workers and would joke with them. James' former teammates all like James, and those who haven't been teammates with James want to be teammates with James. Lillard has said that he can't figure out why someone doesn't want to be teammates with James. He has also said that he is only willing to be a junior brother to three players, including James, Davis and Durant.
The Lakers are in very bad shape right now, owner Jeanie Buss only wants to make money, head coach Ham only has his hands in his pockets, and general manager Pelinka has limited power. Some of the Lakers' teammates are also not good, Reaves is once again unstable, and centers like Wood and Hayes can't meet the Lakers' needs. Rookie Schifino is even worse.
Despite the Lakers' internal and external troubles, James will not intervene in management. He was also clearly not happy with Hamm, but he would not speak out against it. For his teammates, James also focuses on motivating and comforting, rather than scolding, let alone saying that they can't do it.
According to a Feb. 1 report, James was tried to dig by reporters after the Lakers' loss to the Hawks, but he wasn't fooled. The reporter asked James if he wanted to say anything to his teammates. James said he didn't have anything to say to his teammates, he just went on the court to play. This is a good leader, James will not blame his teammates, will not beat and scold his teammates, will not ask his teammates extra, he will only use his actions to help his teammates and help the team. Any player should learn like James.
