Recently, his wife shared a video to her Instagram story of Bryce, 13, cracking up Bronny, 15, with an impression of their dad. Social media has already provided James a way to keep up with his family since going to the bubble. But the Olympics obligation was "probably like 30-some days," he said.
When asked if he'd ever been away from his family for this long - James and the Lakers could be in Orlando for 3½ months during the coronavirus pandemic, should they make the Finals - he said the only comparable experience was playing for USA Basketball in the Olympics. "So I can't afford to do that, just lose direct contact with everybody." "Making sure everything is still going well, especially in the uncertainty of what 2020 has brought to all of us," he said. James specifically cited his mom as someone he will "check in" with. But during those playoff runs, he had the balance of playing home and away, flying back from road arenas to spend time with his wife, Savannah mother, Gloria and three children, Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri. In past years, James would curtail the time he spent on Twitter and Instagram in April through June to sharpen his focus. I have to continue to check in with my family every single day." "I won't be turning my phone off during this run. "It's definitely going to have a different mindset, different feel to it," James said on a video conference call when asked about his approach to the Lakers' upcoming challenge.
The Lakers star said Tuesday that he is doing away with his self-imposed social media blackout for the playoffs, something he refers to as "Zero Dark Thirty-23" mode, playing off the movie title. And with all the upheaval that has occurred, LeBron James is changing a postseason ritual of his own. However, there is no denying things are different during the league restart. The NBA is doing its best to replicate the game experience that players are accustomed to - even blaring Randy Newman's "I Love L.A." over the public address system when the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Washington Wizards in a scrimmage when they were designated the home team in Orlando, Florida.
