Lakers Rumors: LeBron James Has 'Revamped Energy' Headed into 21st NBA Season

Coming off another sensational year with the Los Angeles Lakers two decades into his NBA career, LeBron James is reportedly entering his 2023-24 campaign with "revamped energy," according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

James, 38, has reportedly been training "before the sun comes up," ahead of his 21st professional season and with training camp right around the corner, has been running two sessions a day in preparation for the 2023-24 campaign.

The four-time NBA champion is fresh off a run to the Western Conference Finals last season.

After missing out on the playoffs the previous season, James and the Lakers made a triumphant return to the postseason in 2023 and went on an unlikely run to the Western Conference Finals as the seven seed before ultimately losing to the Denver Nuggets.

What's even more impressive was that James helped lead the franchise that far while being less than 100 percent.

James had to miss 13 games during the regular season after injuring a tendon in his right foot. Despite returning a few weeks before the postseason, James never looked quite like himself, lacking his usual burst.

However, he still had a number of impressive performances, including 30 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, two steals, and one block in the closeout game against the Golden State Warriors in the second round.

He even dropped 40 points in the Lakers' Game 4 loss to the Nuggets.

And now, with an offseason full of rest and a revamped roster that has some shiny free agent acquisitions and retentions like Gabe Vincent, Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell, among others, James looks prepped to lead Los Angeles to another title.

Considering how long he's been dominating the sport, it's nearly impossible to doubt him.

Last season James averaged 28.9 points per game to go along with 7.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.5 steals while also breaking the NBA's All-Time scoring record.
