LeBron James teases NBA restart with epic fan art

LeBron James is ready for the NBA restart.

The 22 eligible NBA teams have reported to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. for the resumption of the 2019-20 season. We’ve seen players share their experiences in the bubble. From the food options available to them, to room situations and team workouts. But one player we have yet to hear from is Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.

Given that the Lakers hold the first seed, they’re guaranteed to make the NBA Playoffs. That means James will soon enter his annual phase of staying off social media. But on Saturday, James shared a piece of fan art from Chris Mineses (@cmineses_designs on Instagram) of himself inside a cryogenic tank, a la Goku from Dragon Ball Z.

Shoutout to Mineses for the amazing drawing!

Disney World is all business for LeBron James

James’ first season with the Lakers didn’t go as planned, given that he suffered a groin injury that knocked him out for 17 consecutive games. This past offseason, the Lakers gave James a stud partner in Anthony Davis, while adding Danny Green and re-signing Rajon Rondo.

Prior to the pause of the NBA season due to the coronavirus, the Lakers held a 5.5 game lead over the rival Los Angeles Clippers for first place in the Western Conference. Additionally, the Lakers had an absurd 33-7 win-loss record against conference rivals.

James is looking to give the Lakers their first NBA Championship since the late, great Kobe Bryant hoisted the Larry O’Brien Trophy in 2010. Will LeBron accomplish the feat? Or will one of the other 21 teams play the role of spoiler against the Lake Show?

Find out once the season commences on July 30.
