LeBron James sees 'similarities' with Cooper Flagg as teen franchise faces
Abby Jones: LeBron James was asked if he sees any similarity’s between he and Cooper Flagg’s introduction to the league; being the face of a franchise as a teenager. “I love what he’s doing. I love what he’s bringing to this franchise.
He looks like he loves the game. He’s putting in the work. J-Kidd got a little scrutinized early on because they started him at PG at times.
I thought that was unfair. I think it’s great to put the ball in somebody’s hands so they can just go through the rough patches; when you go through the rough patches it allows you to grow at a rate faster than other players. That’s what Paul Silas, rest his soul, did for me.
My rookie year, I basically stared at PG early on. He allowed me to mistakes and read tough defenses … so, I see similarities in that on the basketball floor. Off the court, it’s a little different.
