Former Cavs GM David Griffin On The Unreal Basketball Intelligence Of LeBron James

 

On the latest Bill Simmons podcast, former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin made a guest appearance. The two talked about the Kyrie Irving trade, fixing the MVP award, LeBron’s next move, Kawhi Leonard, and how much of a genius LeBron is on the court.

Griffin said that he has never seen a player with the basketball intelligence LeBron has, and went on to tell an amazing story:

 

“There’s literally nothing you can show him that he can’t do. There’s no play you’ll run against him he can’t name, and then go out there and teach your players how to do it better than anyone else [can teach them]…I was in the gym when I watched him on the floor against Toronto [in 2017] tell Patrick Paterson where he was supposed to go on the play they had called out of a timeout late in the fourth quarter! He was like ‘no Pat, you’re supposed to stand over there and set a pin down [pick] for Demar over here’”
