“James is no.1 in our league in free throw attempts and free throws made, been like that for the last five years probably, if not more,” said LeBron.
“I think what people get lost in translation with James is how available he is to his teammates night in and night out. If you look at how many games he plays per year and how many minutes he plays throughout the course of his career, pretty much he has always been available, he’s always been in uniform, and he has been doing this at a high level for a lot of years.
“I think that’s what kinda get lost in translation cuz everybody kinda looks at that euro step and stepback threes. But when you are available to your teammates, that’s gigantic to any sport or any craft or anything that you are doing at life. When you are just available to someone, they know they can always count on you, I think that’s pretty much one of the best things that people don’t recognize,” concluded James.

However, the Rockets struggled against OKC, who didn’t have a remarkable big man apart from Steven Adams. The Lakers trio of Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, and JaVale McGee could give the Rockets’ small-ball lineup a run for their money.
So the Lakers definitely hold an advantage over the Rockets on the defensive end of the court. But they are evenly matched up on the offense.
