Live Bar on March 23, xunicai star Kuzma was interviewed by accompanying reporter Chase Hughes recently and talked about many topics.
Speaking of his partnership with James in the Lakers, Kuzma said: “The arrival of James in 2019 made me make rapid progress. I kept observing him, learning how to become a professional player, learning skills, and even learning his daily plans. I call this kind of learning my ‘cheating code’, and I learn how to be a player and leader from careful observation.”
“At that time, my residence was only five minutes’ drive from the training ground. I would try to come to the training ground earlier than James every day, but most days, when I arrived, he has already had breakfast or received treatment there.”
“James may never know that I compete with him in this respect, or he may also know that he is an excellent observer after all. He may have seen my behavior, but he chose to say nothing. James is always trying to make himself the most competitive player, and his strength also makes me better.”
