Summer Workouts Bond LeBron, Durant

LeBron James and Kevin Durant worked out together for five straight days last summer at the University of Akron.
“Monday through Friday, twice a day, and it was one of the toughest weeks that we’ve both had as far as workouts,” James said. “But it was some great work, and we got a lot out of it.”
James credits those workouts for part of the reason why he is having one of the best seasons of his career.
James and Durant enjoyed a strong friendship during the workouts.
James believes Durant has emerged as more of a leader this season.
“We respect each other, and it’s always great to see a friend of yours do well,” James said.
