Do you feel like Ben Simmons can return to being an All-Star and All-Defensive guy? Spencer Dinwiddie: Yeah, for sure. If you look at his age, he should be getting ready to start peaking now. Then it comes down to health, and you look at who he’s been historically. We need him to be an All-NBA, All-Defensive Team, All-Star-level guy for us to be good.

James admitted as much in a recent video shared by the Uninterrupted, noting that with the way Lacrosse is played, his physical tools and skills are just perfect for the sport. “If I wasn’t the GOAT in basketball, what other sport I would be the GOAT in?
