Today, Lakers forward James attended the media day of the new season and was interviewed by the media.

When asked what skills he focused on improving this offseason, James quipped, "My golf swing. That's a skill I want to focus on improving, haha."

"I can't say it, I spent a lot of time practicing three-pointers that I took the ball and shot. You may have seen some training videos that I forwarded, that's me and Chris Johnson's summer off shooting training. I understand how I'm going to maximize my chances when I'm not holding the ball, including moving into the shooting space. Of course, Luca (Doncic) and AR (Reeves) will have the ball in a lot of times, and we have Smart, he's going to do it. Gab (Vincent) can do the ball, and Brownie can do it when he gets the chance. We have a lot of players who can do it, so how will I play in a team that has less chances to hold the ball? I'll do it, but I guess I've trained a lot and practiced everything, but I do practiced more 3-pointers just to be prepared. One of my old friends always told me that if you're ready, you never need to prepare. It's that simple. So I'm trying to do it this summer."
