May 22nd News Today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired in the seventh episode of the second season, and James and home guest Nash talked about many topics.

Speaking of the topic of building a team around organizers, James said: "That's the beauty of the game. Because you can never get it right until that player starts to shape himself. As a coach, of course you (Nash) have also been a coach. If you have a young Jokic or Brunson, it takes some time to observe their direction. Then you can say that we should play like this, and we need to build a team around these guys. The Knicks have completed the game around Brunson's style. He is surrounded by tough and tough players, tall wingers, so that he can play his scoring expertise and stand on the free throw line. He is a three-level scorer who can enter the penalty area and use his footsteps to score. We always say that Villanova players have a characteristic that they are great footsteps and never lose balance. As you said, Shay (Alexander) is the same. How do you build a team around them? That requires a great team and a great coaching staff."
