LeBron James told reporters he is getting ready for the toughest championship run of his career in the NBA.
The superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers believes the current circumstances (Orlando “bubble”, coronavirus pandemic, etc) make the title run even more challenging.
“It’s probably going to be one of — probably the toughest one. It’s the toughest championship run for me personally. From the circumstances of just being in here.
I don’t take anything for granted. I live life, every day I maximize that day. I don’t take anything for granted. Because at the end of the day, I know where I come from, I know what I stand for, so I don’t take anything for granted, especially being in my 17th season.
I don’t go into any season saying, ‘OK, playoffs, playoffs, championship, championship.’ I just am all about the process,” James said, via Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times.
James and the Lakers will face the Portland Trail Blazers in the opening round of the playoffs.
Game 1 will take place on Tuesday.
