The Los Angeles Lakers are currently ninth in the Western Conference and have recently defeated the New York Knicks with a concluding score of 105-113.
The New York Knicks are 32-18 in the season and are fourth in the Eastern Conference. The four-time NBA champion and twenty-time NBA All-Star, James LeBron, scored a team-high score of 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
The Lakers superstar has recently shared advice for the younger generation and being one of the top talents, his guidance has had an incredible impact on the upcoming young generation of basketball players.
According to Fadeaway World, he shares, “Learn the history of the game. Respect the ones that came before you. Even when they do disrespect you, it’s absolutely okay. Know who paved the way… Be a pro. Show up to work, be ready to work. If you on time, you late. Put the work in, the game gives back to you when you put the work in. That’s what the game gods do.”
The four-time NBA Finals MVP has emphasized that if a player wants recognition in the league and wants to be remembered as an incredible talent, then they will have to work with determination. In addition, the veteran powerhouse has further encouraged the athletes to let go of things that have less value.
He further continued, “Come to the gym, be one of the first ones to the gym, be one of the last ones to leave. Just pour it all into the game if you want to be great and if you want to be someone that will never be forgotten in this league.”
“The cars and the jewelry and all the other s*** don’t matter, means absolutely nothing. I see a lot of these young kids, they get so unfocused about stuff that is so material that they can lose their focus. Just worry about the game, when you worry about the game, everything takes care of itself.”
James has also shared that it is alright if you are self-regarding sometimes. He continues, “Worry about the game, worry about our family, and then worry about the game some more and be selfish too. It’s okay to be selfish because you have to be a little bit selfish to be able to be great. Some people have to fall to the wayside at times.”
The four-time NBA Most Valuable Player extends a prominently transparent approach to all the players. He highlights that your game and your loved ones matter. LeBron has adopted this strategy and has remained one of the top players in the league even in the 21st season of his long-standing career.
