The young Lakers are showing very little sign of being starstruck by LeBron James

It took less than a week for the young core of the Los Angeles Lakers to show they weren’t going to be fawning fanboys in the face of LeBron James’ presence, a reality best punctuated when just four days after James officially convened with the team on Media Day, Lonzo Ball made it clear that despite James being his favorite player growing up, he wasn’t some starstruck kid anymore.

“I’m never nervous to play with nobody. He’s just another person at the end of the day. He not God,” Ball said.
