As he begins his 21st NBA season, LeBron James is more determined than ever to help the Los Angeles Lakers win their 18th title. LeBron thought about retiring following the Lakers’ heartbreaking Western Conference finals loss to the Denver Nuggets. But a revamped roster and a summer off have allowed him to play well as the Lakers open the new campaign with a difficult game at Denver.

LeBron’s tenacity has been evident throughout the Lakers’ preseason. A recent addition to the team, Christian Wood, observed that LeBron always shows up early for practice, setting an example with his work ethic.

LeBron’s work ethic has been complimented by Lakers general manager Rоb Pelinka, who noted that despite approaching his 39th birthday in December, he has been conditioning like a rookie. Even though LeBron is the oldest player still playing in the NBA, he is still a very talented player when healthy. In 55 games the previous season, he averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists.

The Lakers are aware that LeBron alone cannot lead the squad to victory. They have brought in players like Christian Wood, Gabe Vincent, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish, and Jaxson Hayes to bolster their formidable defense with further оffensive depth.

The team’s new recruits have a ton of potential, according to Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, who highlights their depth, ability, size, and agility. LeBron is as upbeat, thinking the Lakers have everything they need to contend for another NBA title.

LeBron has reportedly considered competing in the Olympics in Paris next year, but he has for the time being put retirement considerations on hold. He stresses that being healthy and having a goal-oriented mindset will be essential to his success this season.

LeBron stated, “It’s all about my mindset and my health.” “Whatever your mentаl state, everything else unfolds naturally. My body will then be able to function if I can maintain my mind clear, focused, and intact during the marathon.”
