The Lakers and Cavaliers play tonight, which means everyone is busy speculating whether LeBron James is going to bail for Los Angeles in the offseason. ESPN wonders how good of a fit LeBron and Lonzo Ball would be. They also wonder if he’ll go to a team that isn’t the Lakers, 76ers, or Rockets. Speculation galore, basically — and it’s only December.
But for tonight, we should be on the lookout for LeBron baptizing Lonzo for one simple reason: a young Cavaliers fan requested it during The King’s visit to the Cleveland Clinic. He has no choice but to deliver for this kid, he’s sick:

It’s worth noting again that Lonzo loves LeBron James, which drives Lakers fans absolutely nuts (via The LA Times):
“In my opinion, he’s the best player in the world,” Ball said. “He just plays the game the right way. He probably can easily try and go for 50 every night, but he focuses on his team, tries to go for triple-doubles, gets guys involved. It’s my first time playing him, should be a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to it.”
