LeBron James heads into his 21st season; looking to win another championship and encourage his son

El Segundo, California, USA—

LeBron James will dedicate his 21st NBA season to his son. When the NBA’s all-time scoring leader returns to work this week, his first priority will be encouraging Bronny to recover after suffering a cardiac arrest.

“There’s nothing more important than my family,” James warned.

But LeBron is also looking to add another championship to his collection and believes the Los Angeles Lakers are talented enough to do that.

Bronny James is making progress in his recovery from cardiac arrest and hopes to return to play for USC this season, James said Monday during media day before the start of Lakers training camp.

James is encouraged by the progress made by his 18-year-old son, who suffered a cardiac arrest while practicing at the Galen Center in July.

“Bronny did really well,” James said. “He began the rehab process and returned to the field this season with his USC teammates. With successful surgery, his condition is improving. “We do have a lot of emotions as a family this summer, but the best we have is The things are each other. “

LeBron credited the USC coaching staff and coaches for their quick response in saving Bronny’s life. Browne is taking classes at USC and spending time with classmates while recovering.

All of this helped James make the decision to continue his NBA career. James previously discussed the possibility of retirement after the Lakers swept Denver and lost in the conference finals.

In addition, after a series of trades in February, the Lakers maintained an 18-8 record and completed the mini-tournament and two rounds of the playoffs. LeBron will have a strong team around him.
