LeBron James has a secret motivational tool, and he isn’t telling
By Mike Dyce
Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James has a secret motivational tool he is using in the NBA Finals.
The Cleveland Cavaliers tied the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night thanks to a strong performance from LeBron James. The Cavaliers playing without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, the weight of Cleveland has fallen squarely on James shoulders and he is trying to bring home an NBA championship without his supporting cast of superstars.
But something is motivating James to carry the team to win despite losing Irving and Love, and he is keeping it a secret.
“My motivation is to make sure my guys are ready and prepared every night we step on the floor,” James said, per ESPN.com. “And I have some other motivation that I won’t talk about right now, but I have so many different things to worry about than being an underdog or guys counting us out.”
But don’t worry, James could tell us all if the Cavaliers win the NBA Finals.
“I hope we win so I can tell y’all,” James added.
So what could it be? Maybe he is frustrated with the way the NBA has been calling plays and that is serving as motivation. It could be the desire to bring Cleveland’s first championship to his hometown.
Perhaps it is the frustration of losing Irving and Love that is serving as his motivation.
Who knows what it is, but LeBron James with a chip on his shoulder is a scary player that could haunt the nightmares of Warriors fans.
