Lonzo Ball of the Los Angeles Lakers shared how he intends to coexist with new teammate LeBron James.

As reported by Ryan Ward of ClutchPoints, Ball shared that the Lakers as a team will be running a whole lot this season. James, being the best offensive player on the team, will be getting the ball a lot. Also, as a pass-first type of player, Ball says that James will be dishing out the rock, too.

Also, as echoed by several analysts, the rest of the Lakers have to be up to par with James and not the other way around. Ball knows that James is the best player on the planet. And his duty is to compliment his style of play and do whatever it takes to help him and the team succeed.

In the first few preseason games, we already saw how the Lakers — particularly their young core of Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and Kyle Kuzma — have managed to coexist with James on the team. It was interesting to see James move through screens, dish out assists, and power his way to the hoop.

Now, Ball is ready to come back from injury to suit up for some preseason action. The Showtime Lakers of the 1980s can never be replicated. But with a gifted player like Ball about to join forces with the greatest player on the planet in James, today's purple and gold squad could be our closest bet to the Showtime era.
