LeBron leads yoga classes on the beach during H.S. camp

How to deal with a loss in the NBA Finals? Hit the beach. Find your zen. Go to a skills camp. Maybe all at the same time?

At least, that’s the approach LeBron James is taking. On Monday, The King led a yoga session at the inaugural Nike Basketball Academy in Santa Monica, Calif., then hit the court with the younger players.

The weeklong event, designed for elite high school and college athletes, also features Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Kobe Bryant, Anthony Davis, and many others. James took his status as a role model seriously, choosing to lead by example throughout the camp. 

Chris Jent says he needs 2 lines for next drill. LeBron jogs over. “You want us right here, coach?” Kids are amazed. #nikebasketballacademy

LeBron was in drills with high school players going 100 percent, taking instruction as if it were the 1st time. #nikebasketballacademy

Kobe Bryant is on the court chatting with Anthony Davis and James Harden. LeBron is running drills 1 court over, keeps looking over at them.

LeBron made his way over to Kobe’s court, eventually started chatting w/ him. Almost seemed like a fan trying to get noticed. Just my take.
