Lakers' LeBron James Asks Why Packers Aren't Maximizing Aaron Rodgers' Potential

The Los Angeles Lakers didn't play Thursday night, but they may have still been on LeBron James' mind even when he was analyzing the Green Bay Packers as part of Amazon Prime Video's alternate broadcast of Thursday Night Football.

"If you have a transcendent franchise player like Aaron Rodgers," he said (h/t Sports Illustrated). "... Why wouldn't you surround that, when you got the picks, to maximize what he can do?"

Notably, co-host Paul Rivera asked, "Are we still talking football or are we talking basketball?" which led to some laughter on set.
