LeBron James: 'The best thing you can have for your teammates is availability'
LeBron James, already the NBA’s all-time leader in points and minutes, is now the league’s all-time leader in games played. In another testament to his unmatched longevity, James played his 1,612th career game Saturday against the Orlando Magic, breaking Hall of Fame center Robert Parish’s iron-man record. “It was a regular prep day.
I mean, I kept it, you know, the same as the previous whatever 1,600 whatever the record is … but I knew, you know, once I stepped on the floor and the game began that I was breaking the record, and … that’s a pretty cool thing,” James said after. “I said it the other night, the best thing you can have for your teammates is availability. And I try to be available throughout my career, two decades-plus … you know, to my guys.
And … you know that’s just a byproduct of it. ” New York Times This article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: LeBron James: 'The best thing you can have for your teammates is availability'
