Jalen Johnson had an opportunity to work out with LeBron James. The 21-year-old small forward expressed his excitement, saying, “I was like, ‘Wow, I get to work out with LeBron.’”
During the session, Johnson was amazed by James’s unwavering focus and precision. He noted how James approached every drill with intense concentration, executing each move flawlessly. Even when James made a minor mistake, he diligently corrected himself before proceeding.
“Before the workout, seeing how he goes about his business,” Johnson said, via Lakers Daily. “Just once he gets the gym, he’s locked in, laser-focused, does his routine and then, as far as drill-wise, (he’s) the best on court. Everything’s precise. Everything’s the right way. Even if he messes up, he messes up and makes a shot, he’s still coming back and doing it the right way.”
Johnson also revealed that James generously shared pointers and tips to enhance his skills during their workouts. He expressed his gratitude for the invaluable knowledge he gained from the Lakers’ iconic player, including guidance on specific moves and techniques to elevate his game.
