NBA veteran commends LeBron James as a “machine” after Lakers icon’s intense pre-game workout goes viral

NBA veteran Isaiah Thomas was amazed by the incredible work routine of the Lakers ace LeBron James. Thomas is a great player himself and has seen a lot of NBA players in his career but his admiration for Bron is something else.

LeBron James outright deserves that respect, as he has been doing an amazing job despite being the “old guy” in the NBA. Isaiah complimented Bron and talked about his work ethic; he even compared him to legends like Floyd Mayweather and Kobe Bryant.

Isaiah Thomas expresses amazement at LeBron James’ work

Isaiah Thomas and LeBron James have been teammates before during their run together in the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017. Thomas was the lead scorer in that season and led the Cavs to the Eastern Conference Finals. However, he was unable to perform at his peak in the playoffs because of a critical hip injury.

Thomas and James had a reunion again in 2018 at Bron’s current team, the Los Angeles Lakers but he was not so efficient at the Lakers because of his injury and the team also chose to focus more on young talents and their development.

Thomas has had close opportunities to observe King James from up close and became an admirer of him soon. He recently talked about his work ethic of Bron and was nearly tearing up while talking about James. He said, ” Bro he’s a Machine! It is crazy, he is the first guy in there (gym) if the practice is at 11 he is in there at 9. He is the last guy to leave.”

Isaiah further said, ” There is no secret to it, I have been able to get all these guys as mentors, Jamal, Floyd Mayweather, Tom Brady, Kobe but then I watch LeBron for seven months and I think it is the dopest thing ever. No matter what he did the night before, he is in there, taking care of his body. He is a Machine bro!”

LeBron’s jaw-dropping pre-game regimen unveiled

LeBron has been delivering amazing performances at an age where most players decide to hang up their boots and call it a day. The 38-year-old is stunning fans and analysts all around the world and the key to his incredible form lies in his great work ethic and strict regime.
