Recently, Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. was a guest on teammate Lonzo Ball's podcast "Ball in the Family."

Nance Jr. is one of the few players who has been teammates with both Kobe and James.

When asked about the difference between Kobe and James, Nance Jr. said: "I would say the biggest difference is the way they lead the locker room. Kobe is a very influential figure. When he walks into the room, you can feel his presence immediately. It's like you have to reflect, 'Are my shoelaces tied? My Is the locker neat and tidy? I can't be the typical person who was caught today. 'The way he leads the team is very strict. Of course, he also won 5 rings with this work attitude, and LeBron is more like one of the guys, he always likes to joke, like a big kid, which makes people like him even more.source:kqbd 7m cn
