LeBron James or Michael Jordan? Austin Reaves chooses the best in history

Many of the hopes of the Los Angeles Lakers currently rest on Austin Reaves, who is the most promising player of the Los Angeles franchise for both the present and future in the NBA. The American player is the perfect complement to LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Regarding the former, Reaves himself recently spoke, explaining how important LeBron has been in his development and even stating that he places him ahead of Michael Jordan.

Reaves does not hide his admiration for LeBron. During an event in the Philippines, Reaves described his relationship with James as "nothing but love" and expressed gratitude for how he has been treated since joining the Lakers. "For me, LeBron is the greatest player in history," said Reaves, according to journalist Nicole Ganglani. "And the way he has treated me from day one has been very special to me. It has been nothing but love. I have been able to learn from him the things he does to be prepared and take care of his body."

LeBron James: A Role Model to Follow

LeBron James's influence on Reaves goes beyond the court. Reaves has closely observed how James manages his career, from physical preparation to competitive mentality. "I have learned a lot from LeBron," Reaves remarked. "The things he does to stay fit, how he takes care of himself. He is a role model for any young player. Having someone of his caliber as a mentor is invaluable."

Reaves is optimistic about the Lakers' chances in the upcoming season. Despite early exits in previous playoffs, he firmly believes the team has what it takes to compete for the championship. "I like where we are. I believe we have what we need to compete for a championship," Reaves stated. He recalled the series against the Denver Nuggets, where despite losing 4-1, the Lakers were ahead for the majority of the games. "If we go back to the Denver series from last year, I think we were ahead for 165 out of 240 minutes, which is crazy. They beat us 4-1, something you can't even imagine."
