LeBron James Shows High Praise For Markelle Fultz After Big Game

When speaking with the media, LeBron James, had high praise for Fultz and discussed what he saw during their match-up.

“Confident. Confidence and opportunity. And they’re confident in him, he’s confident in himself and he’s given the opportunity to go out and play the game how he grew up playing it and I just think everything else take care of itself.

I’ve been supportive of him ever since he was in high school, came through as a rookie in Philly, been supportive through his situation and still is to this day, so I’m happy as hell for him.”

Fultz bounce-back season has been one of the NBA’s most underrated stories this year as he is finally starting to find his footing after his first rough couple of seasons. The Magic have been missing a starting-caliber point guard for several seasons, but it looks like they have found their answer in the 21-year-old.

Fultz finished the game with a triple-double: 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.
