Former teammates give James an 8!Complain about the Lakers: Don't ask for a Michelin meal with cheap ingredients

On January 14, Beijing time, James's former teammate Channing Frye is now an NBA ball commentator. In the latest episode, he gave James an 8, and he also complained about James's Lakers players, teasing not to ask for Michelin meals with cheap ingredients.

The host asked Frye how he would rate James' performance during his time with the Lakers if he left the Lakers this summer. Frye responded as follows-

"If he leaves the Lakers, I'm going to give him an 8 out of 10. I can't give him a 10 because he's only won one championship. As far as James is concerned, I'd give him 10 points, but with the Lakers, they've only won the championship once, and the rest of the season, he's either not making the playoffs, or he's beaten in the first round or whatever. ”

Frye also talked about James' limitations. "If you look at the lineup around him, there's only so much he can do, right? Sometimes, you can't ask for a Michelin-starred meal with Costco ingredients. He's 39 years old, so for me, if he leaves, that's fine, maybe he'll get more help, but I think his time has been very successful. At the end of the day, he has to have the right players around him. "

Fry noted that Anthony Davis has been doing well this season, however, the rest of the Lakers' players have not performed as expected. It's worth noting that, according to Basketball-Reference, James, Davis, Reaves, and Russell are the only four players on the team who have efficiency values above the league average and have positive plus/minus stats.

Currently, the Lakers have a 19-20 record, a win rate of less than 50%. The Lakers will face a similar Jazz today, in a Western Conference card battle. If they can beat the Jazz, the Lakers' winning rate will return to 50%.
