Sad News: Lebron James die in a Crash minutes ago today……
“First of all, I gotta give a big, big shoutout and credit to Jaxson Hayes, man,” James said. “Him stepping into that void after losing AD? That’s a lot… That’s a lot of scoring, a lot of defensive protection, a lot of rebounding, a lot of blocked shots.”
James added, “But I think Jaxson was like, ‘I can’t make up for that,’ and we didn’t ask him to. We needed Jaxson to bring high energy, to be a force on offense—run the floor, set great screens, be a lob threat. But he’s just made great decisions. He’s been able to catch it in the pocket, stay balanced, either dunk it home or find guys on the perimeter.”
