LeBron also talked about missing the playoffs last season and how he can use his voice for people that can't.

“His size. I mean he’s gigantic. A 6-8 point guard. He’s 225 pounds. He has the ball on a string. And more importantly, his vision. That’s why I love him,” James said about Doncic who is coming off his third All-NBA First-Team campaign with averages of 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 8.7 assists. At 23, he led the Mavericks to a Western Conference Finals appearance that ended with the team being eliminated by the eventual NBA champion Golden State Warriors.

LeBron also took his time to elaborate on the type o game that Luka has, and explain why he has been so dominant, “He can control a game. He doesn’t even have to shoot. Literally, he’ll walk the ball up ten straight times and get to his spot every single time, just because of his pace, he knows when he comes off a pick and roll if they’re hard showing or if they hedging or if they dropping the pick and roll." continued the Lakers' player.
