Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James shared massive praise for youngster Talen Horton-Tucker following the Lakers’ win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.
LeBron on @Thortontucker: "Does it on both sides of the floor, and then he just listens. He’s a sponge. And he can apply it right away … big time game for a kid that’s still growing into his own, but he’s (beyond) his years."
