Over the course of his long career, there have been a ton of different things said about LeBron James. They have been both good and bad as he is arguably the most criticized star player in NBA history. For the smallest thing, people will jump on him and it’s a weird part of his history.

But one thing that most people can agree on is that he is a great teammate. He always finds different ways to help guys up their game, even if it doesn’t always sound great. James used to play the passive aggressive approach at times and while it worked, it was met with some negativity.

He has matured over time and has become one of the best leaders in sports. If you are on a team with him, he will be there for you and do it with a smile. One of his teammates on the Lakers recently talked about him as a teammate and gave some insight into how the legend is day-to-day.

LA shooting guard Austin Reaves said that despite James advanced age, he still acts like a kid most of the time. This is actually consistent with what we have known about James throughout his career. 

He is a guy that is incredible at basketball and likes to have fun while playing. It creates a good vibe in the locker room most times and is a big reason to why his teams have seen so much success throughout his career. Reaves also said that he always comes to work in a good mood.

Many people probably remember the Harlem Shake video that James did when he was a member of the Miami Heat. It showed his personality even during some of the more trying times of his career.

The Lakers are better off with James being who he is and people should appreciate him while he is still playing. His days seem numbered as a member of the NBA so make sure to take in all of his greatness while you can!
