LeBron James made an interesting statement regarding his first-ever playoff matchup against Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul.
James said facing Paul is like playing against fellow NBA veterans Rajon Rondo and Draymond Green.
“It’s going to be comparable to playing against Rondo in a series, playing against Draymond in a series. You have those ‘out-of-this-world-IQ’-type guys and fierce competitors at the same time.
So, it’s the same thing. Every time I faced Rondo in the past, I knew I had to be not only on my A-game as far as my game, but also my mind as well, and that’s the same with Draymond every time you go against those Warriors teams.
I’ve had experiences with those two guys that will definitely help me in matching up with CP, because I know the competitor and I know the IQ of the basketball player he is,” LeBron James said, via Clutchpoints.
Game 1 between the Lakers and the Suns will take place on Sunday.
