LeBron James Downplays Challenges That Come With Age
As LeBron James prepares to tip off his 23rd NBA season, he is expected to set a new all-time benchmark for longevity in the league. Despite the amount of time he has played competitively and the challenges and limitations that come with his age, the Lakers veteran downplayed any comments about his longevity.
In a recent interview with CGTN Sports Scene, the four-time MVP dismissed any notion that his age or accumulated “mileage” will slow him down.
“Age doesn’t matter,” James said. “Age is just a number. I definitely feel energetic any time I’m out there on the floor, trying to give everything I got to my teammates, and just go out there and win.”
