The work that LeBron James put in during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Eastern Conference Finals duel against the Orlando Magic in 2009 was undeniable. In six games, James played for almost 45 minutes and averaged 38.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and eight assists per game.
Unfortunately for the Cavs, the Magic won and eliminated them. However, that didn’t mean that the work was already done for Bron. According to former Cavs head coach Mike Brown, “King James” showed up in the gym shortly after the team’s devastating playoff loss.
