Confidence
After miserably choking in the 2011 NBA Finals, LeBron has morphed his mental game to be focused, poised, and resilient; as proven after leading the first 3-1 NBA Finals comeback in ’16. LeBron plays with more assurance now; look at the deep 3s he’s taking and draining this season. His confidence is infectious; Kuzma, Ingram, and Lonzo are feeding off it and the Lakers are still an NBA threat while LeBron is out and recovering from a groin strain.
