NBA trainer Chris Brickley has high regard for LA Lakers star LeBron James and his work ethic. Given that Brickley has trained some of the best in the league, his rating of LeBron as the greatest of all time (GOAT) is certainly worth taking note of.
LeBron James has been in the GOAT conversation for the better part of a decade now. Amassing several accolades over the course of his 19-year career in the league, James certainly has the resume to be considered the greatest.
With several fans and analysts expressing their thoughts on the GOAT debate, NBA trainer Chris Brickley has also weighed in on the matter. In a recent interview, Brickley started by discussing James’ self-awareness and his work ethic. He said:
“When I first started working out with LeBron, the first thing I did – I went to Synergy, broke down his game, looked at all the analytics and found out the strengths and weaknesses of his game.”
Chris Brickley had a particular approach with LeBron James in mind. He hoped to work on aspects of the game that James felt were personally lacking.
Given that such a thing may be dependent upon a player’s mood, the trainer was fortunate to see LeBron being self-effacing about his shortcomings.
“For me, to see probably the greatest player in my opinion, to be able to find something that he’s not amazing at, and then see what he thinks about it and that we’re both on the same page, that’s dope.”
