LeBron James has a new pupil to make him a star, is not Reaves

The Los Angeles Lakers want to win next season's NBA championship title and are putting all the work into doing it. Most of the players have been working out all the offseason and are looking to be in great shape.

Still, with LeBron James being 38 years old, and not being able to carry the team on his own, he has taken a mentor kind of role for the younger players and one recent video of a Lakers practice has shown him helping one of the most interesting players ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Rui Hachimura showed a lot of promise in the last playoffs after improving his shooting game, now, he hasn't stopped working out with assistant coach Phil Handy and LeBron is also having a king of mentor role to the Japanese wing.

In the released video, Hachimura is shooting while LeBron James is closely looking and probably helping the forward to up his game to be ready. It has been reported that Coach Ham is thinking of using Rui as the starting wing for the team.

Rui Hachimura skipped on playing at the FIBA World Cup

To get in the best shape possible and improve his skillset, Rui Hachimura skipped on representing Japan in the current FIBA World Cup. Hachimura has shown his love for the purple and gold and how he is doing everything to help win the championship title.
