LeBron's Los Angeles 時代, as told by coach Darvin Ham
(Editors' 公式文書，認める: Darvin Ham is in his first season as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. He was a longtime NBA assistant coach and as a player helped the Detroit Pistons 勝利，勝つ the NBA 肩書を与える in 2004.)
When I got 雇うd to coach the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the first things that I saw was the tweet where LeBron James congratulated me.
I´m not on social マスコミ myself, but people I know who are, and they saw it and 審査する-shotted it and sent it to me. All the major 壇・綱領・公約s were showing the tweet, so I got his number and called him and just had a lot of laughs.
That´s when I started to learn what he´s all about. There was a lot of excitement on that call. There was energy both ways. We were ready to get started, ready to get going. He was verbalizing it, that I have his 十分な support and that we were going to 人物／姿／数字 this thing out, to 権利 the ship, so to speak. He said we´re going to get 支援する to the way we should be 成し遂げるing and what we´re 代表するing ーに関して／ーの点でs of the Lakers. And he´s lived up to that every step of the way.
I waited a long time for a 職業 like this. And working with LeBron, it´s an interactive type of 関係. He has a 乗り気 to be coached. I´ll just start there. That´s the most awesome thing about 'Bron. He 許すs himself to be coached. You can get on him in a film 開会／開廷／会期. You can point out mistakes. He´ll either 収容する／認める it - "my bad" - or if he 同意しないs, he´ll 同意しない. And we 人物／姿／数字 it out. But it´s never anything malicious. It´s never anything personal. It´s not about his way or my way. We´re trying to 人物／姿／数字 out the best way.
That´s who he is. Everything has to be the best way. He´s one of one. His size, his athleticism, his 狙撃 能力s, his playmaking 能力s ... we 港／避難所´t seen anything like him before.

I don´ t think he´s ever 手配中の，お尋ね者 the 得点する／非難する／２０ing 記録，記録的な／記録する. He´s about team. He wants the team to do 井戸／弁護士席. That´s the thing that 向こうずねs through. He´s everything that he´s been advertised to be and much more. But just 存在 around him and seeing him, I know he really enjoys his チーム仲間s. I´d even go as far as to say all this attention embarrasses him a little. When everybody´s trying to 向こうずね a light on him 個々に, he 扱うs it with grace, don´t get me wrong, but he would much rather be a part of a group 祝賀 than everyone talking about how 広大な／多数の／重要な he is.
And we all know he´s 広大な／多数の／重要な. Arguably the greatest. But he would prefer that everything be group 焦点（を合わせる）d. He´s about "How can my team and my チーム仲間s be put in the best position to be successful, not just me?" It´s a beautiful thing to see. It´s a beautiful thing to live every day and 証言，証人／目撃する firsthand.
