In year 18, one would think LeBron James would be close to running out of gas. He’s playing big minutes, carrying a heavy load, and continues to be among the NBA’s elite players.
And as he comes out of the All-Star break, it seems he’s feeling as rejuvenated as ever before.
LeBron James said he isn’t planning on resting in the second half of the season: “It’s go time for me.”

LeBron said he’s usually in first, second and third gear in the first half of the season, fourth, fifth and sixth gear in the second half of the season and then seventh gear in the playoffs. https://t.co/i2ZtFZKmWa

LeBron James is amid another MVP-level campaign. Averaging 25.8 points, 8 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game on 50.9% shooting, he’s been masterful for his team, and is one of the big reasons why they’ve been able to stay afloat in the wake of the extended absence of Anthony Davis.
What might Bron bring to the second half of the season? That remains to be seen, but if history is any indicator, the closer he gets to playoff time, the harder he goes.
We can expect a pretty amazing show over the remainder of the season.
