Briwn Windhorst: And the story of this individual season is very interesting in the LeBron landscape, because when he first came back, Dan, with that sciatica thing, he looked terrible — just being fair. I’m not saying that like there was a shocking thing, but for the first time, he looked old.
I remember watching when he first came back, whatever it was, late November or December, and saying, “Oh, this might be it.” In fact, I had a meeting with my bosses and I go, “You know, we may need to start our content planning for him retiring, because he looks, for the first time, like an old man who can’t compete.” And he looked like that because he couldn’t really work out all summer. He had no training camp. And as the season went along, he got himself into better condition. And by the time the spring came, when they really needed him, he was in great shape.
