AKRON — Just three weeks into his tenure with the Lakers, LeBron James says he doesn’t have any expectations for his new team’s performance.
But he does mandate that the guys in his locker room be prepared to put in the same effort that he will.
“You guys know me: When it comes to championship habits, that doesn’t mean you’re bringing a championship,” James said at the unveiling of his foundation’s I Promise School. “That means you practice excellence every day. I expect that from not only myself but my teammates.”
James said that Owner Jeanie Buss, President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson and General Manager Rob Pelinka all share his same expectations for the roster.
