LeBron James bubble room: Why did James' security team and personal chef not accompany him?
In a recent NBA on TNT episode, Chris Haynes spoke about James' decision to not bring along his chef, masseuse and security team to the NBA bubble. As per Haynes, the three-time NBA champion wanted to show unity with his teammates. “He wants to make sure that he’s going through all the rigours as his teammates on this campus,” Haynes said. Before the NBA 2019-20 season was suspended, James was averaging 25.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and career-high 10.6 assists per game. The Lakers will resume their NBA season with a game against LA Clippers on July 30, 9:00 PM EST (July 31, 6:30 AM IST).
