Lakers star highlights new Nets coach's work ethic after emotional win in Brooklyn

In a day that will remain marked in memory, LeBron James spoke this Tuesday about the work of Jordi Fernández, current coach of the Brooklyn Nets. James, after leading the Lakers to a convincing 109-125 victory at Barclays Center, was full of praise for his former teammate in Cleveland, highlighting his dedication and deep knowledge of basketball.

“Jordi has an impressive work ethic and knows the game deeply. He certainly deserves this opportunity as a head coach in the NBA,” said James, expressing his admiration for the Catalan coach. In his statements to the media, the Lakers leader highlighted the career of Fernández, who has risen in the world of basketball until reaching this important role in the American league.

The relationship between LeBron and Fernández dates back to the 2009-2010 season, when they both met at the Cleveland Cavaliers. In those days, Fernández was beginning to take his first steps as a player development coach, while James was finishing his first stage on the team before his subsequent transfer to Miami. “When Mike Brown brought him in, he was just a sponge. You could tell he had a tremendous work ethic and a great knowledge of the game,” James recalled of those times.

The night was doubly special for LeBron, as he had the opportunity to watch his son, Bronny James, who is also a part of the Lakers organization, play. During the fourth quarter, the youngster scored two points, prompting a deafening ovation from the crowd, a moment his father described as “incredible.” “Having my wife sitting at the foot of the court and being able to live that moment with our son was great,” commented LeBron, visibly moved.

Furthermore, James highlighted the connection he has always felt with the Brooklyn fans, expressing his gratitude for the support received: “There has always been love and respect for the Brooklyn fans every time I come here. Seeing how they supported my son and his growth in basketball was a moment of pride that we will never forget,” added the player.

Even with his career in full swing, LeBron reflects on the legacy he wants to leave when he retires. “My legacy is my children, my community and my family. That is the most important thing to me. Basketball has given me so many opportunities to inspire youth during these last 23 years, but my true legacy will be through my children and the actions I take to continue motivating others,” he expressed.

With an uncertain future on the horizon, the player did not want to speculate on whether he will conclude his career with the Lakers or if he will choose to retire at the end of the season. “We are all professionals and we have a job to do, no matter what is happening or what is said on the outside,” James concluded, making it clear that his focus remains on performance on the court and the well-being of his family.

The Lakers' victory in Brooklyn reaffirms the good moment they are going through, but also highlights the family ties that have always guided the life of LeBron, who continues to be an influential figure both inside and outside of basketball.
