The almost-perfect Olympics: While We’re Waiting
August 16, 2016Sorry Detroit, the Indians are just better : Between Innings
August 16, 2016It’s hard to believe, but the 2016-17 NBA season is already just over two months away. Looking ahead to the season, Cleveland Cavaliers point forward LeBron James will host the wine and gold for preseason workouts in Los Angeles prior to the actual NBA’s preseason beginning, this according to cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon.
James has been known for hosting workouts prior to the season for his teammates since coming back to Cleveland. In 2014, the workouts were in Independence, Ohio near the Cavs practice facility, and in 2015, they were Miami, Florida where the 30-year-old was famously in a full-body sweat having worked out for an hour before the rest of his teammates arrived during the first morning.
Although the workouts are informal, the majority of the Cavs players and coaches are expected to attend, including guard Kyrie Irving, who is currently representing Team USA in the Rio Olympics.
Don’t worry Cavaliers fans: This has nothing to do with the Los Angeles Lakers. This off-season, James has spent a majority of his time in the United States in his LA, where he bought a $21 million mansion. Head coach Tyronn Lue and forward Kevin Love have also been out on the west coast as well.
After signing a three-year, $100 million extension last week to remain in The Land for the foreseeable future, James seems to be all business. He wants his teammates and coaches to have as much practice and time together as possible to build even more team chemistry and camaraderie, and this is a great way to do so. The more time together, the better.
The Cavaliers first practice of actual training camp is September 27. But with these workouts in Los Angeles along with whatever else the team may be doing, it looks as though the wine and gold will be practicing together plenty of times before late September while preparing to make another title run and possibly win back-to-back NBA championships.
