Justin Termine said Jeremy Lin Was Harder to Interview Than LeBron James<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> star forward LeBron James<\/a> has had a lot of great things happen to him over the course of his career and he\u2019s accomplished a whole lot.<\/p>\n But one thing stands out above the rest: Sharing the floor in the league with his son, Bronny.<\/p>\n LeBron James Names Playing With His Son As the Biggest Accomplishment of His Career<\/p>\n The two have played together on multiple occasions during the regular season, and with the Lakers shorthanded headed into the playoffs, the father-son duo could soon share the court during the postseason, too.<\/p>\n \u201cMe being on the floor with him, it\u2019s the best thing that\u2019s ever happened to me in my career, above everything that I\u2019ve accomplished,\u201d James said, via ESPN<\/a>. So, the fact that he\u2019s put himself in a position to get his number called for a postseason game is pretty remarkable and pretty cool given the circumstances that he\u2019s been given the last couple years. He earned it, he deserves it, and he\u2019ll be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n For Bronny, playing in a playoff game will be a dream come true.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, it\u2019s what I\u2019ve wanted,\u201d Bronny said Thursday. \u201cMy dream is to play in the playoffs. I wasn\u2019t able to play in March, so this is a bigger stage than that, and I\u2019m completely and totally excited to get out there with my teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n Given his father\u2019s unparalleled playoff experience, Bronny plans to listen to his old man when it comes to anything involving the team\u2019s upcoming postseason run, and he thinks the rest of the roster should follow suit.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s been in the playoffs I don\u2019t know how many times,\u201d Bronny said. \u201cSo, he\u2019s won series, won Finals. I think we just need to have our mind open and ears open and listen to whatever he says because he knows the most. He\u2019s only saying that because he wants to win. So, he\u2019s going to help us do that and we just got to listen to him.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lakers will have their hands full in the first round of the playoffs against the Houston Rockets, especially since they will be without star guards Luka Doncic<\/a> and Austin Reaves, who are both battling injury issues.<\/p>\n LeBron, Lakers Poised For Postseason Showdown with Houston Rockets<\/p>\n With those guys sidelined to start the playoffs, a lot more of the offensive burden will fall on LeBron\u2019s broad shoulders, but he\u2019s prepared for that and he certainly has the requisite experience to lead an undermanned team on a playoff run.<\/p>\n \u201cNothing changes for me from the regular season to the postseason besides just [having] even more heightened focus,\u201d LeBron said. \u201cThe only thing that changes in the postseason, you just know that you are going to be playing the same team at least four times \u2014 so you got to key in on them and understand like tendencies even more and be more thorough.\u201d<\/p>\n Basketball fans will want to pay extra attention to the series between the Lakers and Rockets, because there\u2019s a chance that it\u2019s the last time we\u2019ll get to see James face off against Kevin Durant<\/a> in the postseason. Hopefully not, but with both guys in the twilight of their careers, you never know.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tMichael Kaskey-Blomain<\/a> Michael Kaskey-Blomain is an experienced sports media member covering the NBA and NFL for Heavy.
