NBA HoopGrids for Day 36

LeBron James has played with hundreds of players in the NBA. Considering he will be playing his 21st campaign next season, Grids 7 to 9 will have some interesting options.

For Grid 7, Joe Smith is an intriguing answer. The No. 1 pick of the 1995 NBA Draft and “King James” were teammates for nearly two seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007-08 and 2008-09. Smith also had a stint with the Milwaukee Bucks from 2003-04 to 2005-06.

Before retiring, Shawn Marion, who had four All-Star seasons with the Phoenix Suns, had a chance to play with James as well. They were teammates in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ failed 2015 championship bid against the Golden State Warriors.

Kevin Love has 1,566 career three-pointers in 15 seasons. The power forward and LeBron James arrived together in Cleveland in the summer of 2014. Akron’s prodigal son returned that year to the Cavaliers while Love was acquired in a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The two superstars were part of the 2016 Cleveland team that pulled off a stunning upset of the 73-9 Golden State Warriors.
