The Los Angeles Lakers are 15-4 and sit second in the Western Conference, accomplishments they achieved mostly without LeBron James. That has not deterred rumors and speculation surrounding the team and potential trades it may make ahead of the deadline.

On the newest episode of Mind the Game, LeBron James explained why today's NBA players don't play 1-on-1 after practice like they used to.

It seems that Clark is among those who would love to see LeBron finish his basketball career with a bang. While he hasn't announced when he intends to hang up the sneakers, the belief among most is that he has one or two seasons left.

LeBron suggested that Spoelstra made the change out of necessity since All-Star guard Tyler Herro, who is a strong pick-and-roll player, missed the first 17 games of the season due to an ankle injury.
