Quotes
The Lakers coach Darvin Ham has lauded James as “the best player on Earth can’t get a call — it’s amazing.”
“You have to call a cat a cat,” Ham said. “You can’t look at something and try to pretend it’s not what it is. He’s a guy that tries hard to play the right. Doesn’t flop.
"Plays downhill, plays a strong, physical brand of basketball. Just because he doesn’t flop or doesn’t flail and he’s not screaming when he’s shooting the ball like I see a ton of other players doing, he gets penalized for it.”
