LeBron James: “European basketball develops its players so early”

LeBron James spoke with the media and referred to Luka Doncic and the other European players in the NBA.

Here is what the “King” said: 

On Luka Doncic and the European players: “I think European players are developed faster than the NBA guys, meaning American players.

I think he’s been in a pro development stage now for how many years? Since he’s 15? So I don’t think this is intimidating to him. I don’t think this game is something he hasn’t seen before.”

On European Basketball: “I think that’s the best thing about European basketball, pro basketball over there. They develop their players so early.”

On his former team-mate, Cedi Osman, being such an example: “I’ve seen it with Cedi Osman last year in Cleveland. He was a rookie as an NBA player but you could see that his development was better than some NBA players.”
