00:00I'm Jill Painter Lopez with Melissa Roland of Sports Illustrated and Melissa, you talked
00:08to LeBron James from inside the bubble today on a zoom conference call and he was discussing
00:14what his relationship has been like with his mother in quarantine.
00:17Tell us a little bit about that.
00:18Well, that was the longest period of time that LeBron James went without seeing his
00:22mother.
00:23He saw her during the all-star break weekend in February and then he didn't see her again
00:28until June where players were recalled back to their respective cities.
00:32So that was about three months and he said it was extremely hard for him.
00:36He talked about how close he and his mom are.
00:39Obviously he has a great amount of respect for her.
00:43She had him when she was 16 years old and she persevered and he beat the odds and turned
00:49into a three-time NBA champion and four-time MVP.
00:53So he said that during quarantine, his mom reassured him that they'd be reunited soon
00:58and that was huge for him.
00:59That helped get him through that period.
