Before taking to the court for the Los Angeles Lakers’ Christmas Day showdown against the Dallas Mavericks, LeBron James offered a nostalgic post on social media that reflected his long history of playing on vacation.
James’ childhood photo reflects a time in his life when receiving any Christmas present made it a memorable holiday, given the often challenging economic conditions in which he and his mother lived.
However, since entering the NBA in 2003, James’ presence has become a staple of television. At various points in his now 18 seasons in the league, he played on vacation for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Lakers.
During James’ time with the Cavaliers and Heat, James and his teams faced the Lakers and posted road victories multiple times.
Now, for the third year in a row, James will lead the Lakers to face an improving Mavericks team, led by young superstar Luka Doncic.
During the game, James will not have time to focus on the nostalgia of Christmas past, but it is clear that they remain etched in his memory bank.
