Despite having All-Star teammates in Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis, James continues to carry his team. The seventeen-time All-Star recently recorded his 100th triple-double. In all probability, James will dethrone Jason Kidd from the fourth position in the all-time triple-double leaders.

While addressing the media recently, the former scoring champion spoke about his recent run and what keeps him going. The Lakers have been under immense criticism for their lackluster performances lately.

“I’ve been doing it for 19 years. Just keep doing what I’ve been doing. I feel like I’m getting better and better each and every day, said James.” 

“As we continue to learn each other, I always told you guys we gotta continue to log minutes on the floor. We learn each other, and we get better and better with one another. Obviously, communication is one of the most important things. As you continue to learn each other and log minutes, you are able to do things on the floor without even saying anything. You can close your eyes and know where your guys are gonna be out on the floor.”

When asked where does he get the energy from, James had the following answer.

“Sleep, and inspiration from my son and his team.”

James’ eldest son Bronny plays for the Sierra Canon school. The seventeen-year-old recently scored      11-points in a win against the Perry High School varsity basketball team. Bronny had his father and Chris Paul by his side during the game.
