LeBron James on Thomas Bryant: 'One of the most skilled bigs in this game'

LeBron James praised Thomas Bryant's performance after he scored 29 points and 14 rebounds in the Los Angeles Lakers' 136-134 win over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night for their fifth straight victory.

James, who finished with 37 points, said Bryant had taken advantage of Anthony Davis's absence to show off his skills.

"He's a guy who plays extremely hard, knows how to play, and probably one of the most skilled bigs in this game," James told reporters after the game.
