Ahead of Game 3 between the Thunder and Pacers this week, Lakers superstar LeBron James gave some key advice to this year's Finals participants. Looking back on his career, LeBron shared some words of wisdom from Pat Riley on how to succeed at the NBA's highest level of play.

And his name is Alex Caruso. It’s a puzzle, really. How does the Thunder’s resident Derrick White fit so seamlessly into Mark Daigneault’s setup? Where does he get that mentality from? Well, it just so turns out that OKC have LeBron James to thank in part for that.

One possible reason is the explosion of pace and scoring and the resulting lack of emphasis on defense. Many regular season NBA games now feel like glorified pickup runs by pro ball players. But is there a simple explanation to this?

Alex Caruso says LeBron James helped shape his approach to recovery and professionalism during their time together on the Los Angeles Lakers.

One common criticism people have of LeBron James' game is his lack of scoring skills and his overreliance on his physicality and athleticism.

LeBron James has been the target of “no bag” slander for years — but the four-time champion just delivered the perfect rebuttal by highlighting what really wins in the NBA.
