LeBron: This is a test of our mental side, our spiritual side, it’s a test for everything

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James talks about the COVID-19 emergency:

“I’m always pretty optimistic about everything,” James said. “I feel like it’s always greener on the other side of the fence. I believe that this is a roadblock for all of us, not only as Americans, but for the world … It’s a test of our mental side, our spiritual side, it’s a test for everything. We had grown so comfortable with how we live our life and everyday life that it’s now time to take a pause. I’m very optimistic about not only just basketball, but sport. It’s not just about the Lakers. It’s not just about the NBA, but it’s everything”

Before the suspension the Lakers were atop the Western Conference with 49 wins over 63 games.

Lebron is enjoying  free time with his family.

“It’s definitely been a bit of a blessing to be able to be here 24/7 and be here with your family,” James said. “And being able to – I don’t want to say ‘recoup’ the time, because that’s one thing you cannot do. Time waits for no man and you can’t do that. But to be able to appreciate it and be in this moment, it’s been pretty cool. Even though I’ve missed the game of basketball like none other.”
