Watch how well the 2019 rookie class knows LeBron James

Heading into Year 17 of his historic career and still maintaining a high-level of play, LeBron James has long-been settled as one of the NBA’s elder statesman. He’s also the most well-known player in the league even after missing the playoffs with the Los Angeles Lakers in his first season with the team.

And with this in mind, the folks at SLAM decided to ask the youngest NBA players, the incoming 2019 rookie class, for some facts on The King. They mostly knew about the King, but some of them missed small details like how many years in a row LeBron had been to the NBA Finals.

Among some of the funniest answers about LeBron were when Nassir Little said that he and LeBron should team up to be a 2-on-2 beach volleyball team, while the majority of the other rookies would love to see LeBron play tight-end or receiver in football as he did during his first few years of high school.
