“LeBron James is a hell of a player and a legend”: Dennis Schroder raves about Lakers superstar while talking about playoff defeats to the Cavs in years past

Dennis Schroder sings LeBron James’s praises after having played with the Lakers superstar for a couple of games.

Though LeBron James may be heavily disliked by a multitude of NBA fans, players who have played with him have only positive things to say about him.

NBA stars such as Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, Dwyane Wade and many more have openly claimed that LeBron James is a fantastic teammate on the court, and a great friend off it.

Chemistry with teammates plays a major role in wanting to have a deep Playoff run. It seems as though most iterations of LeBron James’s teams have had great chemistry, especially the ones which end up hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy at the end of a season.

It looks like the 2020-21 Los Angeles Lakers are well on their way in developing a solid chemistry with one another as Dennis Schroder opens about how he feels towards the ‘King’.

Dennis Schroder seems to be enjoying playing with LeBron James each night.

When asked about LeBron James, Dennis Schroder did not hesitate in letting everyone know he thinks LeBron James is great. Schroder said:

“What he brings to the table every night is just amazing. I’ve played against him a bunch. It’s incredible to see. He’s such a good person as well, trying to help, being a leader. He’s a hell of a teammate, hell of a player. A legend.”

It would be very understandable if Schroder held some resentment towards LeBron. This is because LeBron has eliminated Schroder from the Playoffs on multiple occasions, back when they were both in the Eastern Conference.

The Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Atlanta Hawks in two consecutive years in the Playoffs. However, it’s great to see Dennis put aside his previous Playoff woes and try to see LeBron James in a different light altogether.
