ClutchPoints: “Toppin had a hell of a series overall… TJ is just a pain in the a*s. He just really is. He didn’t do great offensively… but he was just this pest defensively.” Doc Rivers on Obi and McConnell combining for 41 points off the bench for the Pacers. pic.twitter.com/kK5VsmLWde -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / May 2, 2024
Speaking on his Mind the Game podcast with JJ Redick, the Lakers star expressed his love for McConnell’s game, even comparing him to another genius-level basketball player in Draymond Green. “One of my favorite players in the NBA right now is T.J. McConnell,” James said to open the latest episode of his podcast, via Tony East of Sports Illustrated. “T.J. McConnell… he’s like Draymond [Green] as a point guard.” -via Clutch Points / April 12, 2024
