LeBron James Reveals Motivation for Returning to Lakers in Year 23

There has not been a single player in NBA history who has performed as well as Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James in their late thirties, much less into their forties.

With his unprecedented production at his age and nearly quarter-century long career, it’s fair to wonder what makes James keep ticking every year.

He notoriously spends hundreds of thousands of dollars each year on his body, so it’s no wonder why he hasn’t experienced as much wear-and-tear compared to his peers and predecessors.

The Lakers held their annual team media day on Monday, and the four-time champion took the stand for the 23rd time, answering all kinds of questions from retirement to his view on the roster.

Among the most interesting things James spoke about was his relationship with teammate Luka Doncic.

Reporters asked what keeps him motivated at almost 41 years old and he told the media, “I get a full season with Luka, seeing what Luka was doing in EuroBasket this summer. Everyone is talking about his body and how well in shape he is.”
