"Luka [Doncic] don't need to bend his game [for me], Luka is our (26-year-old) franchise for this ball club. He don't need to bend this 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 shot-maker. 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 said Luka Doncic is the Lakers' 26-year-old franchise and teammates should bend their games around him. James emphasized that the team must work off Doncic, who commands heavy defensive attention as an elite pick-and-roll player and shot-maker. Both James and Doncic scored 30 points in a 111-103 win over the Pelicans, and the pair have combined for multiple high-scoring outings recently. The Lakers have won three straight games while missing Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura. Doncic praised James's efficiency and playmaking, and James is regaining scoring form after returning from sciatica.
