LeBron James admits he thought about leaving the NBA bubble several times

Life in the NBA bubble can be hard, even when you are LA Lakers superstar LeBron James. The NBA legend has revealed to the media that he has thought about leaving the bubble since he arrived in July. He quoted -

"I've had numerous nights and days thinking about leaving the bubble," James said. "I think everyone has. I don't think there's one person that has not had a mind that said 'oh, I've got to get the hell out of here.' ... It probably crosses my mind once a day. For sure."

It is not that of a surprise, considering LeBron James had admitted missing his family earlier. With the LA Lakers being expected to go all the way to the NBA finals, LeBron James will have to be in the bubble till October.
