It had been quite a while since LeBron James had dropped his scouting knowledge and flashed his LeScout persona to the world. Perhaps that had to do with the fact the Lakers surrounded him with old guys for the better part of two seasons, but Sunday offered him the chance to dig deep into the memory banks once again.

After Austin Reaves capped off his incredible fourth quarter to close out the Grizzlies for a road playoff win in Game 1, LeBron took to the podium for his press conference and reminisced about the first practice alongside Reaves.
