"Luka is our [26-year-old] franchise for this ballclub. He don't need to bend his game. It's up to us to bend our game around him and figure it out. We just try to be dynamic and work off of him. We know he is an unbelievable pick-and-roll player, unbelievable shotmaker. He commands the defense. He has four eyes, sometimes six eyes on him. So, it's up to us to put ourselves in the right position. ... It's not a problem for me; it's not an issue for me."
"He's been absolutely amazing. Just helping me out, helping others out, being super efficient on the field goals. That's Bron. He can do anything. Just really appreciate him. We are playing better with each other, game by game. And this is just going to be improving more."
LeBron James scored 30 points in the Lakers' 111-103 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, underscoring sustained high-level production at age 41. LeBron emphasized that the team should adapt its play around Luka Dončić, who also scored 30 points, and described Luka as the franchise cornerstone. The Lakers have won three straight games despite missing starters Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura, with James and Dončić carrying the offensive load. James returned from sciatica and has scored 25-plus points in seven of the past 12 games, averaging 29 points on 58.8% shooting during the current streak.
