James Worthy Is Worried About The Lakers Having Too Many Leaders: "I Think You Have To Choose The Ones Who Are Vocal."

«It could be because all of these veterans bring a ton of experience,» Worthy said on Spectrum SportsNet. «Last year we were fortunate enough to have Jared Dudley being one of those guys. The year before that, it was Rondo.

«But when you get a collective effort, I think you have to choose the ones who are vocal. And I think veteran players have a tendency to do that. Wayne Ellington is not a guy that .. big talker, not a big vocal guy. I think in practice you get that type of encouragement. Bazemore is more kind of a ‘I'll show you what I can do.'

«So I think there's certain guys like Rondo who has an amount of value when he speaks. Carmelo's been around for a while. He'll probably add some value as well. I think that veteran players know who has the voice and they kind of allow that to play out.»
