In an interview, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James discussed his physical condition and said that the only thing that could stop him from moving forward was not taking care of his body.
In an earlier NBA regular season game, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 124-104, thanks to points scored by LeBron James, Rui Hachimura, and Austin Reeves.
It's worth mentioning that LeBron James, at 41 years old, broke the NBA record for the oldest player to record a triple-double with 28 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds against the Dallas Mavericks.
When discussing his career, LeBron James shared, "I didn't know I would play for 23 years. I didn't expect it, but I knew I didn't want a career that only lasted six or seven years. I couldn't become a legend in six or seven years."
“I’ve always had a mission. When I realized I could play at a high level, like when I went to Chicago in my junior year of high school to play with Michael Jordan and those players, and later when I went to Cleveland in my junior year to play against the Cavaliers, I thought to myself, I belong here.”
LeBron James also emphasized, "I know I still need to learn, I need to continue to adjust my physical condition, and I need to keep studying the game and the details. I have been competing against NBA-level players for a long time."
“I told myself that if I had the chance to enter the league and showcase my abilities, the only thing that could stop me was not taking care of my body. The only thing that could stop me from becoming one of the greatest players of all time was not taking care of myself. And I did. That’s the answer.”
