Description

LeBron's evolution into a role player is absolutely fascinating to watch. He's running ghost screens, camping in corners, and letting Austin Reaves cook - then when they need him in the 4th quarter, he flips the switch and controls entire possessions like vintage LeBron.⁣ ⁣ This energy conservation strategy is brilliant. Instead of forcing his will every possession, he's picking his spots and maximizing impact when it matters most.⁣ ⁣ If one of the GOATs is willing to be a "jackknife" player who fills whatever role the team needs, that makes the Lakers incredibly dangerous come playoff time. Nobody wants to face a team where LeBron is your third option behind Luka and Reaves.
