James: I can keep talking and shouting for tactics, but my teammates can t react if they don t pay attention to it.

June 6th News Today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired in the tenth episode of the second season, and James and host Nash talked about many topics.

Talking about the importance of communication in the game, James said: "I remember it was in our first round of Timberwolves series, when the players walked to the bench and there was an emotional moment. The players said, 'We have to speak! We didn't communicate!' I said, 'Yes, we are not talking. But you know what else we have to do? We need to listen so hard!' There are two sides to this thing, I can keep talking and shouting tactics, 'Hey, come here! Here's flare cover! Here's a back cover! Here's a rip tactic! But if you don't prick your ears and listen, or you don't stay alert, you won't react!"
