Bayless mentioned that James had a microphone him all night, allowing viewers to hear his insight into the gioco.
He was con a good headspace, supporting his teammates, and tuned into the gioco.
James was strong offensively and defensively and helped the Los Angeles Lakers win their first gioco of the Summer League.
Quanto a his first four games of Summer League, James averaged just 4.3 points with a 22.6% field rete percentage.
He missed all 15 of his three-point attempts until Wednesday night’s gioco.
James has been facing enormous expectations from analysts, writers, and fans, and that may have had an impact how well he played.
Will those critics be silenced now that he’s had a good gioco?
To be fair, he still has a long way to go before he is considered someone who can get time the floor next season.
One strong gioco doesn’t erase all the troubles he’s experienced so far.
But if Bayless is right and James is feeling comfortable, that could make a huge difference.
Confidence can work wonders basketball players and maybe James is now turning a and starting a new phase of his young career.
