Lakers News: LeBron James Makes Surprising Pick for a Beloved Current NBA Player

Los Angeles Lakers All-Star combo forward LeBron James recently revealed on his podcast "Mind The Game" that one of his co-host JJ Redick's old Philadelphia 76ers teammates has become one of his favorite active NBA players: now-Indiana Pacers backup point guard TJ McConnell. The 32-year-old went undrafted out of Arizona in 2015, but was quickly scooped up as an underappreciated asset by the "Process"-era Philadelphia 76ers. McConnell overlapped with Redick in Philadelphia from 2017-19.
