LeBron James praises Ben Simmons: He's a much better person than he is a basketball player

LeBron James and Ben Simmons have the same agent, Rich Paul of the Klutch Sports.
The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar praised the 76ers rookie, now sidelined after a foot surgery.

Per Philadelphia Inquirer, "I've been knowing the kid for quite a while now, ever since his sophomore year in high school," James said.

"He's a great, young talent," he said. "But he's a much better person than he is a basketball player. Philly should be excited to have him."
