[Saba Sports News] The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t reach their goals last season, but with the new NBA season comes fresh hope. LeBron James, alongside offseason additions like his son Bronny and Tennessee sharpshooter Dalton Knecht, remains focused on his legacy as he preps for the season’s home stretch.
In typical LeBron fashion, he recently responded to critics like Dennis Rodman, who have questioned his skill set. Retweeting a clip from ‘LBJHistory’ praising his 2015 playoff performance, LeBron quipped, “Pure brute strength and just running people over my whole career! No skill detected,” ending with a face-palm emoji.
Meanwhile, Lakers legend James Worthy shared his thoughts on the buzz around Clippers owner Steve Ballmer’s new Intuit Dome, and Lakers coach JJ Redick dropped a ‘sicko’ comment that caught fans’ attention.
LeBron’s playful attitude is nothing new for Lakers fans and may hint at his mindset heading into the new season—especially if Bronny makes the roster. LeBron’s stellar play for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics proved he can still compete at the highest level, but the NBA season is a marathon, and LeBron will turn 40 soon. He might manage his minutes to save energy for the playoffs.
With Bronny still developing and Knecht likely playing a minor role in his first year, the Lakers face challenges ahead, but for LeBron, the grind never stops.
