LeBron James heads into 21st season in the NBA hungrier than ever as he looks to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a record-breaking 18th championship.
LOS ANGELES -- James, 38, finished last season in a downbeat mood, hinting at possible retirement after the Lakers were comprehensively beaten by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference finals.
"I tried to be one of the first ones in... first person I see is LeBron James, already in a full sweat," Wood told ESPN. But his statistics from the 2022-2023 campaign indicate he remains one of the most formidable individual talents in the league, when fit and firing. As well as Wood, the Lakers added the likes of Gabe Vincent, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish and Jaxson Hayes."We added a lot of depth, a lot of guys that have skill, size and athleticism. I look forward to all of that coming together."
