As crazy as it may sound, even a player likeLeBron James often has to deal with doubters. He might prove game in and game out heās still the NBA star weāve all known for a long time, yet youāll always find that person whoclaims that the best days of the Los Angeles Lakers star are behind him.
Itās something usual in sports, whenever a player gets older there will always be people who suggest heāsgetting to the last stages of his career and thatheās not what he used to be anymore. But LeBron wonāt take that.
Last season hasnāt been one to remember for the Lakers, who were unable to defend their 2020 championship and instead suffered an early exit in the playoffs. So, that may have just fueled Jamesā ambition to prove why he still has a lot left in his tank.
Lakersā LeBron James issues strong warning to doubters
The Lakers will try to turn things around this season after a disappointing 2020-21 campaign. And so does LeBron James. The four-time NBA champion is determined to continue writing history and prove wrong those who believe he canāt do certain things anymore.
On Sunday, LeBron showed off his skills to lift Los Angeles to their fourth win this season when they beat Houston Rockets. But those tricks were not a surprise for him as heās surethatās just what heās capable of doing even at 36.
āI donāt surprise myself because I know how much work I put into my craft and my body and preparing myself for the game,ā said James as quoted by Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times. āSo Iām able to go out and do some things that other people are still questioning how Iām able to still do.ā
Obviously, most people might be on LeBronās side, and itās understandable. It sounds quite strange that some still get surprised about what he does on the court after everything heās shown in his career. He may not be getting any younger, but itās still LeBron James who weāre talking about, and weāll probably continue doing so for much longer.
