“Always a text, a phone call or FT away bro!!”: LeBron James Reaches Out To Lonzo Ball Offering Wisdom To His Ex-Lakers Teammate

LeBron James

LeBron James is always a great teammate, whether it’s with his ex-teammates or current ones. James made sure Lonzo Ball knew he’s always available for him.

The two were teammates back in the 2018-19 season. That was LeBron’s first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the two seemed to form a dynamic duo. Lonzo’s passing fit exactly in to the playstyle that LeBron is comfortable with, allowing him to get open and score at will.

The Lakers were pushing a top four seed in the Western Conference, but injuries ruined any chance of a playoff push. LeBron missed significant time, and the Lakers fell apart without the King. In the following offseason, the Lakers would trade away Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and a whole of draft capital for Anthony Davis.

That move resulted in the first Lakers title since 2010 with Kobe Bryant. However, LeBron hasn’t left the side of his ex-teammate, making sure Lonzo Ball knows he’ll always be there for him.
