LeBron James talks HUGE WIN vs Clippers, Postgame Interview 🎤

You ready good LeBron down 21 to start the fourth after Plumley hits that layup LeBron just the the threes and all of the different switches that you were calling out getting the Clipper big up what were you seeing what were you trying to get out of that and how were

You able to execute I’m sorry I’m trying to recover right now um well I mean just try to obviously we knew we was down a big deficit start the fourth quarter so we had to um we had to execute offensively we had to get great

Shots we had to make shots and then we had to get stops and um we was able to do that I thought the lineup that started the fourth quarter I think it was me DLo cam ja and and TP um we did a great job of uh of getting stops you

Know and then uh trying to go back on the other end and scoring so worked out well for us to to start that quarter and we just tried to keep the momentum going we made the show UPS LeBron uh ad described when you get in that zone as sio mode I guess what’s

Going through your head when you’re making I think you made five threes in the fourth just kind of that that sequence there of three after three after three um just in a Zone I mean um I know we we’ve kind of heard this you know what what it feels like to

Be in the zone you know in our in our Sport and um that’s just the feeling um where you feel like everything that you put up as is going in and you know with the you know for me I just kept it I kept it consistent I was

Taking eloi shots um I stayed in the course of the offense um when I was able to get the switches I was able to get myself some space and gets a couple more looks you know so my teammates did a great job of continuing to find me you know and then

I just try to dictate the tempo dictate the game you know as we started making a run for it and getting the game closer and closer and closer um so you know just a zone that can’t really describe it wish you could stay in it forever but

Obviously it checks out you know as the game ends but you know durage you know you don’t feel anything you just just have a super power I feel LeBron it’s here I think it was 1, 473rd regular season game in your career and if we have the stat right it was the

First time one of your teams came back from 21 points in the fourth what’s your capacity for carrying this team in whatever aspect that it needs to get between today and the finish line and and have a a birth in the postseason um I just got to do what I

Got to do when I’m in a lineup um if I’m on a floor got to make plays um you know sometimes I got to make even more plays and tonight was one of those moments where I had to make um even more plays in order for us to even

Get back into the game and then ultimately winning the game so you know we um obviously we you know every game is important for us especially you know at this moment um you know and uh we have to approach it that way but uh tonight was a a really good test for us

It was a great test obviously being down ver is one of the best teams in the league and on their home floor and be able to keep our composure um you know to weather to storm um you know and that fourth quarter was was very key for us

LeBron kind of to along what what Dave just asked um to still be having firsts 21 years into this um how does that hit you and then secondly um you know you did that in the fourth quarter offensively but just like you did in the second half you took on a

Big defensive assignment um how much of that do you think you can do um how regularly can you take that on on the defensive side of the ball as well um until I can’t do it anymore um you know so I’ve been put in a position throughout my

Whole career where I’ve had to do a a little bit of everything throughout the course of a game and um and that’s carried me to you know still continue to stay humble you know stay in the moment and uh stay the course throughout my career even 20 you know 21

Years in so um offensively you know our team needed me to step up and defensively they needed me to take the talents on Kawai and uh I mean he’s I mean back toback with Kat and Kawai that’s a that’s a gauntlet for sure you know for any Defender so just try to

Just try to take the challenge and uh and hope that they miss and you know I just try to make it tough on them the Clippers start to send two guys to you I mean you had the ball especially late in the fourth quarter DLo and ruy made

Plays made shots Dar said it was reminiscent of last year last season’s playoff run um how helpful do you think this is for the group to see them close the game out the way that they did well I think uh my guys know I’m going to

Make the right play no matter what you know so you know if I get doubled they know I’m find the right play find the right player um DLo start making himself available when I started getting a double and um you know he was able to

Find ruy ruy hit a three and then he found Ry again he had a baseline reverse um and then I got doubled again I was able to find DLo over the top um for um catch High stay high uh three ball which was um a big play for us so you know

It’s great um that we can you know lean on our our guys and um and everybody feel like they’re very comfortable making a play uh throughout the course of the game no matter the time last two LeBron you you pointed out this is a great test strike because of the quality

Of the team you’re playing is this just a game where as you said you’re in the zone and you get hot or is it a game where you can learn something about this team down the stretch and if so what is it I mean it’s a good test because you

Know um you know anytime you can do a versa a great ball Club um you know is it can work well for you um and obviously you know tonight was a good test if we ever put in that position again we know um we know how to to

Handle it or how to go forward obviously you never want to be down 21 and the fourth or 19 to start the forth that’s not ever the the the cost of a game but if it happens you know we know we can we can buckle down and get stops and then

And and and make shots if if we just you know play the game the right way so um I think it was a good test for us but another good test for us tomorrow we got to see how we handle success of tonight by coming in tomorrow and be uh mentally

Prepared as well last question um hey hey LeBron I just wanted to talk to you about you know since you’ve been here you always have been the first person in the gym you know even with your greatness I talked to Tyrese Maxi he said he went to the gym at 5:30 and you

Already in a deep sweat at 5 he was like he’s the only person that’s ever beat me talk about that having that work ethic and that drive even with the greatness and success you’ve had so far uh I think you’re only going to get out of the game

As much as you put into it you know and uh for me I’ve always wanted to be um you know one of the greatest I ever play this game and you know I knew I was I was born with some gifts and born with some athletic abilities um that I seen

It early on a lot of people would tell me early on but that only get you so far um it only get you so far especially in this league where everybody is born with an unbel unable gift that’s why it’s only a select few of us that make it to

This league um so um I just had to put the work into it I’ve always cared about trying to get better and having a growth mindset and getting better and better every single year um and try to keep the defense so unbalanced that they don’t

Know what to do you know because I I’ve just expanded my game um you know each and every each and every moment so I think that’s that’s the most important thing I can give to like the younger generation is just like just put the work in you know put the work work in

And continue to work your habits and continue to put the work in no matter if you you know you know you’re not feeling great about it or whatever the case may be I think it’s always going to pay off because the work never ever you know it never shies

Away from it I mean you can never shy away from the work the work is always going to pay off you know and uh when you shortcut the process it’ll catch up to you but if you put the work in you know day in and day out uh both physically mentally spiritually whatever

The case may be I think it always pay off for you um you know so for me um I wanted to be great I wanted it to be great and you can be great if you don’t if you don’t punch your clock in so I think that’s what all balls down to

Appreciate it thanks so
