It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by emotion when you do something people said you wouldn’t be able to do, especially if that’s making the NBA Finals. However, this time, Los Angeles Lakers’ star LeBron James looked unfazed.

If someone’s used to reaching this stage that’s definitely LeBron. The King will be making his 10th trip to the NBA Finals, and the 9th in the past 10 years, which seemed impossible in the modern basketball era.

However, this time feels completely different. There was no celebration, no joy, no laughter, not a single pad in the back. This time, LeBron James won’t allow himself to feel anything at all until it’s all said and done.

LeBron James Channels Kobe Bryant With Blunt Message On Instagram Post

ā€œJob Not Done. Finish Ya Breakfast! #ThekidfromAKRON#RevengeSeason#SFG,ā€ James captioned the post, which shows a picture of him sitting on the hardwood looking focused and unfazed.

It’s clear that James has been on a mission since the start of the season but he took it up a notch once his friend and idol Kobe Bryant passed away on January 26th. Now, he’s got an even bigger responsibility on his shoulders.

LeBron Says The Lakers Have Bigger Fish To Fry

ā€œWe understand we got bigger fish to fry. We understand there’s a bigger goal but we can’t take this for granted because this doesn’t happen every year to anybody,ā€ the 35-year-old forward said after the game.

People doubted LeBron. They said he wouldn’t be able to make the Finals in the West. They said he was washed, that he couldn’t play defense anymore, and that there was no way he could lead the Lakers back to basketball’s ultimate stage. Once again, the kid from Akron delivered. This time, for an even bigger purpose. For the Black Mamba.
