The NBA In-season Tournament championship has been a game of non-stop highlights so far. A battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers has kept fans around the world on their seats to see who wins the first NBA Cup.

In order to bring the NBA Cup to LA and also add another accolade to his list, LeBron James takes on the role of a coach. Watch as The King imparts trade secrets to his teammate from the sidelines.

LeBron James is taking no chances

The Indiana Pacers are giving the Lakers a run for their money for the NBA Cup. While LeBron James has been doing everything he can on the floor, he is clearly going a mile further to help his teammates out as well.

Here is a video of LBJ giving some tips and tricks to his All-Star teammate, Anthony Davis. Davis has been matched up with Myles Turner, a 6’11 center who is known for his shot-blocking ability.

And James made sure to help AD out enough that would help him get the upper hand. In the video, James can be heard saying, “He’s a shot blocker so he’s trying to create space on you when you go out here.”

“Take one more dribble, go through his chest first. That alleviates his height.” Davis made sure to take the advice given from the man who has dominated the league for the past 20 years, going into 21.

And within a few moments, Davis did exactly what James told him to. Which eventually led to an easy two points in the paint. The game was fairly even up until the first two quarters, as the Lakers led the Pacers by only a five-point margin.

A basketball guru on the sidelines today

LeBron James has played in the league long enough to go up against a player and even his father back in the day. And he has managed to get the upper hand every time he steps onto the hardwood floor.

James is always praised for his high-flying dunks and big plays. Lately, his passing skills have gained attention too. But one thing that does not get talked about enough is the 19-time All-Star’s basketball IQ.

Here, that very same IQ James has gained over the years ended up working wonders for Davis in an instant. Let’s see who ends up lifting the first NBA Cup and puts their name in the history books.
