'Jerebko? Do you want me to talk about Jerebko?"
That's what LeBron James asked a Swedish reporter when he surfaced a question about Pistons forward Jonas Jerebko, the lone Swedish player in the NBA.
James had glowing things to say about the Swedish national team member.
"Jerebko's a good player. No, I mean, he's a really good player. He's doing so much for his team," James said. "He can play at different positions, he's good at rebounds, he's good in defense.
"He's already a shining star in Detroit. And he is just going to get better and better."
