Lakers News: Giannis Antetokounmpo Did Not Work Out With LeBron James To Avoid Potentially Being Exploited

Since LeBron James is 33 years old and in his 16th season, Giannis Antetokounmpo is among a select few determined to become the next face of the NBA.

At just 24 years old and in his sixth season, Antetokounmpo has quickly established himself as one of the best players in the league.

Despite not having a reliable three-point shot (10.7 percent during the 2018-19 NBA season), he is still averaging 26.8 points, 13.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists.

As Antetokounmpo worked out with Kobe Bryant, he revealed why he does not work out with other players like LeBron James, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic:

“I can’t work out with you in the summer and then play you in a few months,” Antetokounmpo said.
