Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James has talked up the qualities of his teammates, including promising guard Kyrie Irving.
The former Miami Heat star also suggests that Cleveland new boy Kevin Love is one of the best power forwards in the NBA
"I believe Kyrie can be the best point guard in the league very soon, and Kevin Love is already in the discussion as far as being the best power forward in the league," James said at the unveiling of his new piece of footwear.
"We have so many great [power forwards] - Tim Duncan, if he's playing center or power forward, Dirk Nowitzki, LaMarcus Aldridge, Chris Bosh, Pau Gasol is still very good. But that's my vision, to maximize [Love's] potential, and his potential to be the best at his position."
The new season is due to get underway on October 28, with the San Antonio Spurs facing the Dallas Mavericks.
