LeBron James, the famed Los Angeles Lakers player, is renowned for his clutch plays in the NBA Finals. The 40-year-old has an amazing record of 10 NBA Finals appearances during his 22-year outstanding career. Fans have pondered for years what distinguishes LeBron James from other players and allows him to consistently deliver remarkable performances year after year.

LeBron James discussed a specific ritual he enjoys observing during the NBA Finals and his aversion to breaking superstitions during his most recent visit on the 'Mind the Game' podcast, which is co-hosted by Hall of Famer Steve Nash.

"I never let my family come to a Finals game unless it was a closeout game," he stated, as per Marca.

LeBron James explained his reasoning for adhering to this practice in a straightforward but convincing manner: Anything that might happen to his mother, children, or wife in the stands during the game could cause him to lose focus and get out of the zone.

"If my family was involved in anything in the stands, I would probably be brought out of my lockdown zone." "My family stayed home unless it was the closeout game," stated LeBron James.

LeBron James' envious record

LeBron James is among the most successful players in NBA history. He has four Finals MVP Awards and four championship wins. Additionally, he has made ten finals appearances with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers.

However, LeBron James had a disappointing outcome in the 2024–25 season when the Los Angeles Lakers were defeated in the first round of the playoffs.

LeBron James is the NBA's all-time leading scorer. He reached the final eight times in a row between 2011 and 2018. He also led the Los Angeles Lakers to victory in the first NBA Cup in 2023.

He has also earned three Olympic gold medals as a member of the US national team, in addition to his success in the NBA.
