When LeBron James first left the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign with the Miami Heat, their focus in training camp was almost solely on defense. According to James’ description of his first training camp with the Los Angeles Lakers, Luke Walton is taking a similar approach to his first season coaching LeBron as Erik Spoelstra did.
According to James, the Lakers have primarily been focusing on defense thus far in the few practices they’ve had. He says that’s how they’ll get into their offense, through success on the other side.
