What this article is about is on how what Kobe Bryants goals were when he was 30 and how its hard for Lebron James at 30 has been all about how difficult it is to keep the machine running. When Kobe Bryant was 30, he was openly talking about and planning how long he would still in the NBA. Bryant is on track to pass point guard Jason Kidd and become the perimeter player with the most total minutes clocked, regular season and playoffs, in league history.

"He's been off for pretty much two years," Dwyane Wade said. "So it's going to take a while to get used to it again, and that's what he's dealing with." I agree with Dwayne Wade as he means that Lebron James might not be able to keep the machine running because he is in a new team now and needs get used to it. This is why I think Lebron James can't concentrate.
