With the good vibes from LeBron James' 56-point game still filling the back rooms of Crypto.com Arena, Lakers teammate Carmelo Anthony smiled as he tried to make an important distinction in the hooper's glossary.

"We all know he can score the ball," Anthony said. "I think the difference is some people aren't pure scorers. Some people have a knack for scoring, know how to score and it just comes to them, skill sets and things of that nature.

"It's totally different types of players, different dynamics."
