“Tapped Out” After Team USA Stint, 28YO Ex-Laker Pays Massive Respect to LeBron James’ Longevity: “Don’t Know How Bron Does It”

LeBron James is a generational talent who has inspired millions to pick up a basketball and hoop. LeBron has dominated the league for two decades and continues his elite form even in his 21st season. While some players can match the skill level of King James, no one comes close to his career longevity. After 20 years of going through the wear and tear of playing in the NBA, the 4-time Champion is still one of the best players in the league. Even young players in the league have a hard time matching LeBron’s endurance.

LeBron’s former Lakers teammate, Josh Hart, acknowledged the Greatness of King James after the 28-year-old was pushed to the limit by his grueling playing schedule.

Josh Hart cannot keep up with LeBron James

Josh Hart has built up a solid NBA career. Hart has been a key contributor to all his teams throughout his career. Last season, the 28-year-old guard helped the New York Knicks win their first playoff series in 10 years. Soon after finding success with the Knicks, Hart headed to the 2023 FIBA World Cup as part of the Team USA roster. He played in every game of the tournament and helped Team USA reach the semi-final. However, the grueling schedule of playing the NBA season, followed by the World Cup, took a toll on his body.

Hart paid massive respect to LeBron James, who has been testing his limits for 20 years, “I don’t know how Bron did it for—s**t, I don’t know how many years in a row w Finals & Olympics & all that. I did it one summer & I’m like, I’m tapped out…now it’s not about maintenance. Now is the time to go.”

Hart claimed he had no energy left after his intense playing schedule and wondered how LeBron does that year after year.

LeBron James is a Freak of Nature

He has also won 3 Olympic medals. After playing almost the entire year at the highest level for the past 20 years, LeBron has somehow managed to remain motivated and hungry to achieve more. He is truly a freak of nature.
