June 13th, today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired the 12th episode of the second season, and James and host Nash talked about many topics.
James said: "Personally, I never let my family come to the finals unless it's a championship point game. If we lead 3-1, or draw 3-3, like in 2016, my family won't be in the game until tiebreak. I don't want to change anything. Of course, if we have a chance to finish the series, the last game, if we're about to win the fourth win, we have a chance to do it, the family will be there. But other games, I keep them at home.
"Because I don't want - especially on the road, I don't want to have my family present during the away game in the finals, I'm trying to focus on myself, and carrying my team to make sure my teammates are fully focused, and if something happens to my family in the stands, it's easy to distract me. I couldn't achieve the ideal concentration because some idiot, some fans might have said something to my wife or kids, or my mom was there, and they said something to my mom. Therefore, unless it is a match point where I have the chance to win the championship, my family will stay at home. I always did that and it worked for me. Some of my finals wins also benefited from this. ”
