What would it be like if you were just in your second season in the NBA and you were going through your first practice against LeBron James? Thanks to Lonzo Ball, we have a perspective on what it’s like to play against LeBron after watching his legendary career from afar.
Ball gave a great anecdote to the House of Highlights show about his first practice with LeBron James, where he finally experienced the incredible dominance of LeBron James in the flesh. James dominated Ball’s team, beating them 21-7 while scoring all 21 of his team’s points.
Lonzo Ball has long said that he’s modeled his career after LeBron and he’s tried to emulate the way LeBron plays by getting teammates involved. However, Ball had also never gone to an NBA game before going to the NBA and had only faced LeBron once before in a real game.
It took seeing LeBron closer than ever to really drive home how great he is, even for someone who idolized him.
