EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Eminem was sounding the speakers in the final minutes of the Los Angeles Lakers training session on Wednesday, and soon LeBron James was held in front of the media and offered a glimpse of the musical selection.

"The white boys of today are Wednesdays," James said. "Seriously, you're laughing, but today's white boys 'Wednesdays, so only the white boys' music party I love.

"I love Eminem, but it was not just Eminem. We had a lot of good music today. For Luke (Walton, the Lakers head coach) and Mad Max (Lakers assistant coach Mark Madsen), all those guys. It was a good day. & # 39; & # 39;

After completing his question and answer session at the Lakers Training Center, James returned to "White Wednesdays for Boys."

"It's a universal thing, no?" He asked reporters with a smile. "It's like Tuesday taco. It's something (explosive). You look at me crazy when I said, "Oh, (explets) white boys on Wednesday."

When a member of the media said the white boys were not new Wednesday, James seemed relieved when he said, "I'm about to say," Do not look at me like crazy. "

James said he and his teammates had fun on the field in their first scrum with referees.

"We had fun yesterday too," he said. "It's all about work. If you do not have fun doing what you do, then you have the wrong job. "

And the Lakers leader, Lonzo Ball, praised James.

"Lonzo is going to be great," said James. "He's going to be great for our ball club. We make two big guard-points in Zo and Do (Rajon Rondo or "Doh", as James said). And it rhymes, so I like it a little. "
