The longevity of LeBron James

LeBron James has disclosed multiple times that he intends to play alongside his son, Bronny James. In his 19th season last year, James averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game.

Furthermore, that was the last time he averaged 30 points per game before last year. But fans and opponents know that James doesn’t go full throttle during the regular season. This has helped him to take care of his body and avoid big injuries. And the Lakers superstar’s longevity might come in handy with his desire to play with his son.

James prevents himself from injuries during the regular season so that he can go hard during the playoffs. And James always had that other gear when it came to the playoffs. Recently, Phil Handy, assistant coach of the Lakers was in attendance for the ‘No Chill with Arenas’ podcast.
