LeBron James is built for this. If a record 162nd playoff win and a monster performance on both ends didn’t drive that home enough, James was asked about his performance inside the bubble for the Lakers in his 17th season and what it takes to continue playing at a high level this far into his career. He also echoed the words of his buddy, Chris Paul, in the process.
LeBron James talked about being built for the moment as Paul did after a Game 6 win over the same Rockets last week, and how all of the preparation he has done has made him ready for playing at a high level.

James had arguably his best game of the postseason last night and one of his best defensive performances in a postseason game in quite sometime on Tuesday. But it would be wise for LeBron to take note of what happened to Paul against these Rockets. Even when the Rockets look like they’re out, they always seem to have at least one counter punch or two left.
