It seems that the young athlete Rui Hachimura has adopted the same dedication and workout routine as LeBron James.
Rui Hachimura, a Japanese-American basketball player, hopes to eventually replace LeBron James as the starting small forward for the Lakers. He has been privileged to train alongside James, one of the all-time greats of the NBA. Hachimura is eager to learn and has rearranged his schedule to visit James at the Lakers’ practice facilities in El Segundo for early morning workouts. In the last season, the Lakers made it to the Western Conference finals but lost to the Denver Nuggets. Hachimura played in 33 games and averaged 9.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game. The success of the Lakers this season depends on both their established All-Stars and the development of young talent like Hachimura and Austin Reaves. With tough competition ahead from teams such as the Nuggets, Warriors, Clippers, Suns, and Mavericks, fans are eagerly anticipating the start of the new NBA season.
