Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James is a man on a mission ahead of the 2019-20 NBA season.

After missing the playoffs last season for the first time since his second year in the league, James has been sitting back and hearing all these pundits slander his name this offseason.

As he always does, James has taken the high road and is just focusing on what he can control. The Lakers star is in the lab working on his game and had a interesting caption to go along with his latest workout video:

LeBron James averaged 27.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists in 55 games last season while shooting 51.0 percent from the floor, 33.9 percent from beyond the arc and 66.5 percent from the free-throw line. The four-time MVP most likely leads the Lakers to the playoffs if he doesn't hurt his groin on Christmas Day against the Golden State Warriors.

The groin injury forced James to miss 17 consecutive games. The Lakers went 6-11 during that stretch and fell out of the playoff picture out West.

Los Angeles acquired Anthony Davis this summer, so LeBron has the second star next to him he needs to compete for a championship. Expect The King to be a monster next season since he has effectively been resting since April, so don't expect him to look anything close to washed.
