As the NBA gears up for a new season, all eyes are on LeBron James, who is set to make his 22nd appearance, tying Vince Carter for the most seasons played in league history. Even after two decades in the game, James continues to be one of the NBA’s top players.

In a recent interview with Lakers reporter Mike Trudell, James explained his ideal offensive approach on the court. ā€œI like any offense when the ball is flowing, the ball has energy, and everybody feels in a good rhythm,ā€ James said. ā€œWhen you’re moving the ball and sharing the ball, that’s great offense.ā€

He continued, emphasizing the importance of teamwork: ā€œYou don’t need no selfish basketball. There’s no reason. We’ve got too many threats, too many guys out here that know how to play.ā€

ā€œThe best offense is when that ball is popping, that ball is touching the paint, you’ve got two on you, you’ve got a numbers game, a 4-on-3 on the back side, and you keep it moving to get the best shot—not just a good shot,ā€ James concluded.
