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.
