LOS ANGELES -- Exactly 15 days ago, LeBron James sat in the interview room inside Crypto.com Arena and told the world what keeps him motivated to play in the NBA.
"If my mind goes, then my body will just be like, 'OK, what are we doing?'" James said after the third game of the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round win against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The subject which precipitated the answer was the idea of staying in the league long enough to play alongside his eldest son, Bronny, who had committed to USC earlier in the day on May 7.
