LeBron James has been busy since joining the Los Angeles Lakers in July. Today, he finally publicized training at the Lakers facilities.

LeBron James‘ summer has been filled with vacations, his son’s basketball games and opening his I Promise School. However, LeBron has still found time to get in the gym. Just last week he fit in some court time at his high school, St. Vincent-St. Mary’s in Akron.

With his $154 million, four-year contract inked, Lakers fans have been eager for him to showcase his Laker pride. His first big move was fashion statement at NBA Summer League, in Lakers shorts.

Now in August, it is the first time LeBron has shown himself working out at Lakers facilities. Via his snap story, he showcased his time in the weight room on Tuesday morning. This is just the pinch Lakers’ fans needed to remind them LeBron to Los Angeles is a reality.

And while LeBron is putting in the work on his end, he is not the only Laker to grind this summer. Young core, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball and Summer League MVP, Josh Hart, continue to work with trainer Miles Simon. In an interview with Mike Trudell, Simon emphasized their workouts:

"“They’ve been getting after it hard, and between us, they don’t have to be here (at the UCLA Health Training Center). We can’t mandate them to be here. But to have them in the gym and for them to have confidence in our coaching staff and our strength staff to get them better is really big.”"

To further fuel the team, Las Vegas recently released their season totals. It’s predicted the Lakers will win 48.5 games. That puts them fourth in the Western Conference. With the LeBron and his youthful teammates putting in the work, Vegas’ bold prediction might not end up being so bold after all.
