""Me and a few of our friends, we got a group chat and we just talked about Ohtani the other night," James said to Nash and their guest, Stephen Curry. "And one of our friends, he said, 'If I sent y'all a message and said that a guy struck out 10 batters in the NLCS, you guys would be like 'Oh, that was a hell of a game by that pitcher. Wow.' And then if I sent a separate text and said that in that same game, another guy came in and had three home runs in that same game ... the same guy did that. He did both of those.""
"Shohei Ohtani put together one of the greatest performances in sports history in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. As a hitter, Ohtani went 3-for-3 with three home runs, including one that went out of Dodger Stadium. As a pitcher, Ohtani pitched six shutout innings, allowing just two hits with 10 strikeouts. The performance single-handedly earned Ohtani NLCS MVP honors, and caught the attention of one of the biggest superstars in sports history: Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James."
