Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is officially on his way to Disney World. The Lakers are scheduled to arrive this evening at the Walt Disney World campus and the Gran Destino hotel, where they are hoping they will be for the next 3-4 months, as the NBA looks to finish the season and win the franchise’s 17th NBA Championship.
James shared with his twitter followers that he had finally said goodbye to his family while he goes to Orlando, saying that he hated to leave. He compared the experience of not being able to see his family for the next couple of months to the same feeling people have when they go to jail. Exaggeration aside, you get the point that he will miss his family.
James wasn’t the only one to use that comparison when it comes to the thought of leaving his family for an extended period. Damian Lillard made a similar comparison on Thursday.
Players will be dealing with unprecedented circumstances and even though their Disney World accommodations are much nicer than what most of us are used to, the adjustment will clearly take some time for NBA players.
