Thursday twenty third February, 2023: In the most recent version of the BBL Show obtainable now on YouTube, Bristol Flyers’ VJ King revealed the affect LeBron James has had on his profession, after successful the Molten Kevin Cadle BBL Player of the Month for January.

The Cleveland native, who turned 26 final month, attended the well-known St. Vincent-Saint Mary High School, the place he grew to become the primary freshman to start out on the crew since ‘The King’ himself, LeBron James.

When sitting down with the BBL present’ host and league legend Drew Lasker, King stated: “To put it into perspective, the summer of 2012 was when he came and he was part of the NBA Lockout, so he did not start his season until late November. So for the first few months, he was with us on campus while we were getting ready for our season.

“He would be there working out sometimes and we would see him walking through the school if you were in class. What surprised me the most was that if you look past the fact he is one of the greatest athletes to ever walk the earth, he’s just a regular guy.

“When you talk to him, he’s down to earth, silly, makes jokes, just like everybody else. He just wanted us to feel comfortable around him even though he is who he is. That was really great to see; a player like him who has the status he has to come in and see the hard work he puts in, it inspires you.”

King’s involvement with the now all-time NBA main scorer had a transparent affect, as he was named McDonald’s All-American in 2016, earlier than finishing a three-year school profession at NCAA Division One powerhouse Louisville.

“I feel like it was so long ago but it was great to be recognised for something like that,” expressed King on his previous achievements. “It lets you know the talent that you have but I try not to hang my head on those types of things. I just remain confident with that and having that under my resume.”

King’s brilliance is evident to see following his latest private accolade, because the ahead provided the firepower because the Flyers’ successful streak helped them retain their second-place place within the Championship standings.

Wasting little time establishing himself within the West Country, the American professed that a lot of the thanks on the Flyers’ kind to this point must be shared amongst the entire crew.

“The main thing is the group of guys we have here, it’s more than myself,” stated King. “I think we’re finding a way to gel and figure out which player wants it this way and where we can find players that way, just figuring out how to play with each other.

“Especially over the last month we have really connected and we’re finally hitting our stride.”
