Over his illustrious 20-year NBA career, LeBron James has often been associated with an ability to draw fouls and seek trips to the free-throw line, a skill often compared to James Harden. Notably, his tactics appear to have transcended basketball, with players in various sports now adopting similar strategies in order to draw fouls and get penalties imposed on their opponents.

Jalen Carter of the Philadelphia Eagles seemed to have learned from LeBron when it comes to flopping. During a week 7 game against the Miami Dolphins, he took a dramatic fall after a seemingly minor tackle. When asked about it, Carter admitted that LeBron inspired his actions, showing how LeBron’s tactics are making their way into other sports.

I was thinking of LeBron

LeBron’s prediction for the Philadelphia Eagles turned out to be spot on, as they convincingly defeated the Miami Dolphins with a score of 31-17, boosting their record to 6-1. As the NBA season is set to begin shortly, it seems Jalen Carter will have more chances to observe LeBron’s tactics in the art of flopping and possibly incorporate them into his own game.

LeBron James says a time will come when he’ll respond to all the trash-talk

James, widely acknowledged as one of the league’s best, is equally renowned for his capacity to tune out the distractions and on-court banter, enabling him to stay focused on the game. But in a recent interview, LeBron was asked about when he feels right to draw a line to all the talk and verbal sparring. Responding to the question, he said:

There will be a time when everybody will get it.

It’s evident that LeBron James is gearing up for his 21st season, determined to let his game do the talking and silence any trash talk directed his way. The Lakers made significant upgrades to their roster during the offseason, and while the dynamic duo of LeBron and Anthony Davis will grab the spotlight, contributions from players like D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves are expected to be vital in bolstering this formidable squad.
