After sweeping the Toronto Raptors in the second round of the playoffs, LeBron James was complimentary of rookie OG Anunoby, who defended him for much of the series.

James also spoke on this year’s rookie class as a whole, giving it high praise by putting it in the same sentence as his own draft class from 2003, which included Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh.

“You look at the rookie class from this year, it’s probably the best since 2003,” James said with a smile and laugh.
