The workout video shows James driving hard to the rim and finishing above the basket, according to his Instagram post. James’ video comes as he gets ready for his 23d NBA season.
Despite dealing with a knee injury during last season’s playoffs, he’s back on the court and training hard. Last season, he averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game for the Lakers.
Despite talk about retirement for the past few years, sources told ESPN that James is not certain this coming season will be his last.
For now, one thing is clear: James isn’t slowing down, and his latest training video has fans believing he’s still got plenty left in the tank.
