On Thursday night LeBron James finished his first game in months, helping lead the Lakers to a narrow win over the Clippers, but the real battle took place on the floor of his hotel room.
LeBron James struggling to even take a shower is all of us during quarantine
It’s good to be The King, but even kings get tired.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Now, I’m not an NBA player (obviously) but I can STRONGLY relate to LeBron’s struggle here. Literally every day during quarantine there’s a time where I realize I need to throw myself in the shower only to not have the energy to even face it. Replace that hotel floor with my bed, and this would just be me.
I mean, it would be me if I had some of the highest basketball skills on the planet, millions of dollars, an army of adoring fans and a top-class wine collection. When LeBron struggles to take a shower it’s endearing. When I do it I need to “stop being a slob.” I see how it is.
