LeBron James' Viral Statement After Lakers vs. Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James took over vs. the LA Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James took over in the fourth quarter of Wednesday night's win over the LA Clippers, outscoring the Clippers on his own in that final frame. Speaking with the media after the game, James described the zone he was in that allowed him to tale over down the stretch. 

"I was just in the zone," James said. "I know we’ve kind of heard what it feels like to be in the zone in our sport, and it’s just a feeling where you feel like everything you put up is going in. For me, I just kept it consistent. I wasn’t taking ill-advised shots. I stayed in the course of the offense."

"When you feel like everything you put up is going in... during it you don't feel anything, its like a superpower"

James was able to get his preferred switch every time down the stretch, getting Kawhi Leonard off of him in favor of Daniel Theis. This is one of the things James mentioned postgame.

“When I was able to get the switches, I was able to get myself some space and get a couple more looks. So my teammates did a great job of continuing to find me," James said. "And then I just tried to dictate the tempo and dictate the game as we started making a run to get the game closer and closer and closer. So, it’s just a zone, and you can’t really describe it. You wish you could stay in it forever, but obviously it checks out as the game ends. But during it you don’t feel anything, it’s just like a superpower I feel."
