Watch: LeBron James Chills Listening to His Favorite Songs After Yesterday’s Victory

The Los Angeles Lakers have an incredible defense this year. LeBron James is back in shape, and we all know what that means. The team defeated the Los Angeles Spurs, and LeBron enjoys his well-deserved rest. With his favorite songs, of course.

“I’m playing injury free. I’m not injured. My quick twitch is back. My speed is back, my strength is back,” he said after the win.

Keep the songs playing

LeBron turns 35 next month and is playing in his 17th season. The groin injury he suffered on Christmas Day last year affected his defense.

“Playing with a torn groin last year — even when I came back it was still partially torn — it was difficult to be able to move and shift like I’m capable of doing that defensively,” King James explained. “For me, I just take the challenge. I love being challenged. Coach [Frank Vogel] challenged me, AD [Anthony Davis] challenged me, I challenged myself.

“I put a lot of hard work into my offseason by getting my quick twitch, getting my bounce back, getting my speed back, my reaction time back. My mind has always been there. That’s what it’s all about.”

The Lakers have won five games in a row, and the only match they lost was the season opener.

“Well, it’s contagious, and his commitment on that end of the floor has been a great surprise for us in terms of just how proficient he’s been,” head coach Frank Vogel said of LeBron’s impact in the win over the Spurs. “He’s leading the charge with care factor on that end of the floor. When he’s working that hard and caring that much about getting stops, it carries over to everybody else, and you see it on the floor.”

This will be a tough season for the team, but they look pretty good on the floor. Davis and Dwight Howard are here to help LeBron win a title.

“All of us, all of us, with LeBron and AD being the leaders of the team, it starts with them,” Howard said. “The first guys on the court it starts with them. The second unit, the Bad News Bears — not the Bad News Bears in a bad way, but they’re going to bring bad news to the other team. That type of bad news. But we come out and you play that hard, tough-nosed defense, it makes it tough for teams to score, then they’ve got to deal with our first unit again.”
