As LeBron James signals the start of his 21st NBA season, the excitement is huge. Recently posting on his Instagram story, James shared his early 3:22 AM wakeup time with the caption “Let’s Get it” and a crown emoji, indicating his readiness to chase another title. At 38, his continued high-level performance is amazing, setting him apart in the world of professional basketball.
James’ extended prime is often credited to his extraordinary training discipline. Known for an intensive training schedule, James reportedly invests $1 million annually on his body, highlighting nutrition, fitness, and recovery. This careful maintenance of his physical health is totally different from the approach of basketball legend Michael Jordan, who was known for his cigar-smoking habit, beer consumption, and little sleep.
This unwavering dedication to physical health may be the reason why LeBron has maintained his prime longer than the span of Jordan’s entire career. Despite his past successes, LeBron still needs to win a championship to cement his place as one of basketball’s all-time greats.
LeBron James’ work ethic has Lakers fans hoping for a 18th championship
Expectations are high as LeBron James’ 21st season approaches. Realistic predictions suggest that LeBron will continue to contribute significantly to the Los Angeles Lakers, averaging at least 25 points and 7 assists per game. His consistent past performance, with a career average of 7.3 assists per game, holds promise for the upcoming season.
Lakers’ fans express immense admiration for James’s unmatched dedication. One fan posted, “Bron is different! No way in hell I’m ever waking up at 3 AM for a workout! Just shows how motivated and passionate he is for the game of basketball. The guy is a billionaire and he is still grinding like this. Incredible.”
