Since making his debut in the NBA in 2002, the Ohio native LeBron James has emerged as one of the all-time greats in American basketball. And as the legend is set to step in his 20th season, there is an array of records that fans are hoping for him to break in the season. However, during the Lakers press meet in El Segundo, LeBron James revealed that he is prioritizing his fitness ahead of records in his 20th season.
King James Focussing On Fitness In His 20th Season!
On Monday, Los Angeles Lakers organized a press meet on the occasion of Media Day. During this interaction, the team addressed several questions that have been lingering in the minds of fans. Meanwhile, as he gets ready for his 20th NBA season, LeBron James of the Lakers indicated that avoiding injuries will be his top focus.
LeBron could potentially surpass Kareem Abdul Jabbar\’s record for most points scored in a season. However, the 37-year-old is entering the season hoping to help the Lakers recover from a disastrous 2021–22 season and return to the playoffs. During that time, a combination of injuries and subpar play derailed the franchise\’s hopes.
At the team\’s press meet, James said that maintaining fitness would be his focus this season. In March, LeBron James passed Karl Malone for second place in the NBA\’s regular season point scoring statistics during a contest against the Washington Wizards. He is now trailing Abdul-Jabbar, who has the most regular season points in history. However, James said that he is not fixated on breaking Abdul-record Jabbar\’s set by the Lakers icon.
James pointed out how he is aiming to prioritize fitness this year as he is in the advanced stage of his career. LeBron stated, \”Just being available, that\’s what\’s most important.\” The Akron Hammer also admitted that certain injuries are difficult to prevent. He does, however, want to support his side for the bulk of the season.
