Tyrese Maxey Awestruck by LeBron’s Drive…
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James remains unstoppable, like trying to hold back an avalanche with a teacup, even after 22 seasons. Most players in the NBA would turn into basketball-playing turtles by this time, but not LeBron. Coming off an All-NBA season, he’s back in shape like a superhero who skipped retirement. Recently, he’s been working out with the Philadelphia 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey, whose eyes sparkling were more blinding than any disco ball as he praised LeBron’s passion for the game, now venturing into his 23rd season.
As the workouts go on, the ever-energetic Maxey couldn’t believe how James was working and chatting away like he was still in his rookie socks. Maxey humorously quipped about working out with James so often that he might start cheering for gray hair. It’s not just about the sweat and sneakers, but about LeBron’s deep desire to mentor. Maxey, who’s one of the best young guards these days, feels he owes LeBron a statue made out of basketballs and appreciation. The young guard, like many others, admires James for not just living the game he’s infamous for, but loving every moment of it and sharing that love as if it could fuel an entire team.
