The Los Angeles Lakers are still waiting to know who will be their opponent at the Western Conference semifinals. The Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder will square off in Game 7 of the first round to decide which of the two teams will face the Lakers.

In the meantime, the team has time to get ready for the next round. In the footage below LeBron James is throwing basketballs as if he was a quarterback at the end of the Lakers practice.

Curiously, James trained to be an NFL player during the 2011 lockout. Though he never made a pro football debut.
