November 22nd, today, the Lakers won 131-99 at home against the Jazz, securing their third consecutive victory. After the game, Lakers forward LeBron James was interviewed.

When asked about his thoughts on not having to carry too much of the game load, James said, "I don't know. I think it's great to see young players come on the court and finish the game. I like sitting on the bench and watching the performances of guys like Malik Monk, Austin Reaves (AR), and Wenyen Gabriel finding his rhythm in the fourth quarter. Kyle Kuzma played better and better, and so did Jaxson Hayes. I enjoy watching young players perform at a high level on the court, even when we have a huge lead. It's definitely a benefit."

In this game, James played for 24 minutes, making 6 out of 10 shots and scoring 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Some people like to sit on the bench and give their teammates a killer look.
