Watch Bronny James lead Lakers through Game 3 pregame routine

No NBA team has ever overcome a 3-0 series deficit in the playoffs before, so the Los Angeles Lakers’ season could meet its virtual end if they are unable to conquer the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night. LA needs a strong defensive game plan if it is going to beat the superior squad, but its state of mind is also vital. Young Bronny James tried to get his guys ready for battle in Crypto.Com Arena.

The second-year guard led the Lakers’ pregame routine, which contains choreography designed to raise energy and morale. Although James has played only four minutes in the Western Conference Semifinals to this point, he is doing his part to keep the team loose ahead of another high-stakes contest.

Good vibes can only take one so far against the reigning NBA champions, but players will combust if they are not mentally prepared in the playoffs. James will stay ready on the bench and hype up his teammates when given the opportunity. The 21-year-old was entrusted to lead the Lakers’ warmup ritual, and his father will be tasked with sending this series back to OKC.

LeBron James continues to impress in his 19th postseason. He entered Saturday’s face-off with the Thunder averaging 23.6 points, 7.8 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals. His 3-point shot has been a weak spot (32.5 percent), but the all-time great should give the Purple and Gold a fighting chance.

James is obviously focused on winning, but hopefully he is also soaking in the moment with his son. One of these Ohio natives began the festivities, and the other intends to end them in triumphant fashion.
