Frank Vogel gave LeBron James a funny birthday present — the kind kids often fantasize about. Vogel let LeBron James be coach for a day, sort of.
James turned 35 on Monday and held a birthday party. Vogel attended, and for a present, he let LeBron pick the practice time for Tuesday. James chose to have a late practice, likely because everyone was partying late.
Frank Vogel made an appearance at LeBron's birthday party last night. He said his birthday present was that he let LeBron choose practice time today. (it was a late one)

The Lakers are playing on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. LA has won two in a row, beating Portland and Dallas, to snap a four-game losing streak. James is leading the league in assists this season, and enjoying himself sleeping in on occasion.
James is also probably happy his birthday has passed since he was the one who paid for his party.
Lakers fans, show everyone who runs LA with this great T-shirt:
