One of LeBron James' former teammates wants the Los Angeles Lakers superstar to score 60 points in Game 4 of the 2020 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat.
Channing Frye, who won the 2016 title with James on the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Golden State Warriors in seven games, is urging The King to score at will in Game 4 to send a message to the Heat after the Lakers lost Game 3.

LeBron James filled up the stat sheet in Game 3, but he didn't play that well. The Lakers' do-it-all swingman put up 25 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but James also had eight turnovers and was only 1-of-5 from beyond the arc and 6-of-9 from the free-throw line.
The Lakers haven't lost two games in a row in the 2020 playoffs yet. The team is still favored to win the series against the shorthanded Heat. However, James and the Purple and Gold are under immense pressure to win Game 4 since the Heat have some positive momentum going after Jimmy Butler's 40-point triple-double in Game 3.
James isn't like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. He's not a score-first player and instead wants to get his teammates involved first.
However, Frye believes LeBron needs to look to score more in Game 4 and put the Heat away early. Let's see if the Lakers forward takes Frye's advice and comes out swinging on Tuesday at Disney World.
