Nash: James physical condition is much better than mine. I think he will overcome this injury.

October 17th Today, NBA legend Nash was a guest on reporter Zach Lowe’s podcast "The Zach Lowe Show".

Talking about James' sciatica injury and his own nerve injury experience, Nash said: "Yes, but I didn't suffer from sciatica, but suffered a similar nerve injury, and eventually retired due to nerve damage. At the end of my career, it was very difficult. I remember when I played for the Lakers, I drove to the Staples Center I had to lift my butt off the seat because it was so painful. I couldn't put my knee against the door because of the severe nerve inflammation. But I didn't have sciatica. "LeBron is in a lot better shape than I am, and I think he's going to recover and have a good season." But even if he didn't experience this sciatica, LeBron doesn't need to play all 82 games. LeBron doesn't need to take off from day one. I'm not worried about the Lakers at all. "

"No, I don't think it will affect him that much. He can't play forever, but the time and energy he has invested in the sport, his training habits and life discipline over the years have allowed him to not only limit the impact of injuries at this stage, but also help him overcome them. We are not talking about players who are usually not dedicated enough. So when they said we're going to do these rehabs, you're going to do this set of workouts, you're going to put in these hours, and he's putting in so many hours to do these things, just fine-tune the training program to deal with the sciatica, I'm sure LeBron will figure this out as well. "Nash said.
