LeBron James has undoubtedly been a freak of nature in the NBA. The man has been performing at the highest level for more than two decades now. And what’s crazier is that he still averages more than 20 points per season. It is still quite unbelievable that King James is 40 years old now.
As the numbers suggest, It is evident that he isn’t in his prime anymore. The 4x NBA champ is averaging 24.9 points, 8.4 assists, and 8.1 rebounds this season in 60 games. Even at his age, he still played a large number of games for the Lakers.
We all thought there was a secret to his fitness, as several rumors suggested he spends a lump sum over the years to maintain his body and health. It looks like it’s all clear now, confirmed by the man himself.
LeBron Debunks All Rumors About Spending $1 Million on His Body
The Lakers guard hopped on Pat McAfee’s show recently and had quite a few viral moments. But one was where he mentioned that he doesn’t spend $1 million to maintain his body.
He said, “I don’t know where the hell that s**t came from. I don’t know where that came from. But listen man, I do take care of my body, I have no idea where the amount of money came from. But I do invest in my body for sure.”
He has made it clear that he does invest in keeping himself fit, at the gym and with his diet routine. But the rumors of his spending being six figures have been entirely debunked right now.
It isn’t all that surprising that false rumors have been created about the superstar. That comes as one of the biggest disadvantages to being a globally-known athlete these days.

The Lakers captain is currently aiming to qualify for the playoffs, alongside Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. He did just come back from an injury, but still looks to be in great shape. Speaking of injuries, the Lakers have been quite unlucky in recent weeks.
Luka suffered an ankle injury but returned within a few days and is expected to be in the starting lineup as well. Rui Hachimura came back from a long period of absence and has revealed that he is still experiencing discomfort.
With that said, it is still mind-blowing that LeBron manages to perform at such a level despite his age. It doesn’t look like he’s slowing down anytime soon, though, which will be just the news the NBA world would want to hear.
