The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will play each other to open the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) new season on October 24. LeBron James, who will begin his 21st run of his career and is now the oldest active player in the league, is one of the guys that many fans will be eager to witness. In December, he turns 39.

The NBA posted a little video footage of a reporter asking James how it feels to have the aforementioned title on Thursday (Oct. 5). The four-time champion made a funny scream before launching a monstrous slam as a message to everyone who believes that he has diminished with age.

James recently discussed his ongoing battle for another championship ring with Spectrum SportsNet during a media day interview. Naturally, I believe that everything begins in the head, he remarked. “You know, everything is controlled by the mind. Maintaining my mental clarity, in my opinion, makes it possible for my body to sort of follow suit. After that, I’ll be able to keep going to the gym and getting ready for another season. I had a great summer, I thought.

He also discussed the factors that contributed to his choice to play again, including his athletic sons Bronny, 18, and Bryce, 16, as well as the advancements made by the Lakers front office and coaching staff over the offseason.

LeBron explained. “I feel like we got a really good team. They did a great job this summer being able to re-sign some of the guys we already had here with the camaraderie.’’
