James: The only player in the Cavaliers with Finals experience is Nance Jr. The Thunder have Caruso

Today, the basketball podcast "Court Brain" owned by Lakers forward James aired the second episode of the third season. James talked about many topics with the host Nash.

James and Nash commented on the championship teams this season.

Nash pointed out that the Cavaliers may be able to win only 55 games in the regular season, but they must prepare for the playoffs at all levels.

James responded: "Yeah, that will be the most challenging thing. Because who on their roster has really reached that level? They've played in the playoffs, and I'm thinking about their roster, has anyone on their roster played in the Finals? Oh, except him. We just signed Larry Nance Jr., he and I reached the Finals with the Cavaliers in 2018. He was a member of that team and saw how we got there.

"Some players have played in the playoffs, some have won the first round, and some have won the second round. But, OK, who is the guy who is going to keep reminding them of their current mission and goals? You can have coaches and general managers that have been there, but when you look around at those championship trophies - or that one championship trophy (laughing) and the names, but who's going to be the guy that gets them there? I don't mean - last season's championship team, the Thunder, had Caruso. We certainly get to see how good Alexander, Jew, and Chet are. I think Caruso is that guy, he knows how to get there, he knows what it takes to get there. He knows how to maintain an even mindset in the face of adversity. You have to have that guy in the lineup to make it all work. "

James added: "He (Caruso) has been guarding Jokic in the playoffs. He defended Jokic in the elbow area and was hit in the head by an elbow but still persisted. Who among the Cavaliers will become that person? I think this is the number one question. Who will be that guy? ”
