Lakers coach JJ Redick expressed concern about the team's ability to perform after a late arrival in Portland for a back-to-back game. However, LeBron James, despite being 40 and dealing with injuries, delivered an impressive 40-point performance, leading the Lakers to victory. Redick praised James not only for his physical abilities but also for his mindset and professionalism. In post-game remarks, James reflected on his motivation to play, highlighting the desire to mentor his son, Bronny, and to continue contributing to the league he loves.
We got into our hotel in Portland nearly 3 a.m. Thursday after our game against the Hornets the night before, so it's daunting to think about playing the Trail Blazers on the second night of a back-to-back.
LeBron James, after leading the Lakers to a win, emphasized his motivation comes from wanting to set an example for his son while still loving the game.
