From his first days on the job, President of Basketball operations Magic Johnson preached his vision of “positionless basketball.”
With the makeup of this year’s roster, that positionless style figures to be a big part of the way that the Lakers play.
“We want to be a positionless team,” LeBron James said at Saturday’s practice. “There’s gonna be times when we’re all playing different positions. I think that’s going to be the benefit of our ball club.”
It helps, of course, that LeBron is perhaps the most positionless player in the history of the game.
The four-time MVP has spent the majority of his career at small forward, but recently has increased his time at power forward.
