What’s been key to LeBron James’ stellar play in postseason? Bronny

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has been playing spectacular basketball in unprecedented territory. We’ve never seen anyone be this good, for this long, especially at this age.

He’s etched his name on countless of records in the NBA history books from all-time points scored, both regular season and postseason, All-Star games, most seasons played, you name it.

For someone who’s done just about everything there is to do in the NBA from a four-time MVP, four-time NBA champion and four-time NBA Finals MVP with three different teams ― you’d think there’s nothing else he’s playing for.

During an episode of his podcast Mind the Game, released on May 5, James revealed that he’s motivated to continue playing due to his love of the sport, his ability to still inspire and play the game at a high level.

“I still love the process of getting up and putting my body through rigorous rehabs and training sessions and whatever the case may be to try and find the results,” James said.

This postseason he’s shown that there is one last motivating factor: LeBron James … Junior.

Bronny James’ presence on the team and playing meaningful postseason minutes has almost seemingly rejuvenated Poppa James.

“To be able to have Bronny in the locker room has definitely helped out a lot as well,” James said on the podcast. “I have a job and a responsibility to show him what it means to be a professional.

I have a responsibility in that. So those are a couple ways for me that’s given me inspiration and given me motivation to still do this.”

He added: “I hope it’s paid off, you know, in a sense for Bronny, and in the sense of my teammates that, you know, they get to see, how I approach the game, and it comes way before the lights come on and the popcorn is popping and everyone is filled in their seats, and whatever the case may be.”
