Home/Olympics

LeBron James said that he wanted to focus on his family when asked about his future decision after the Lakers’ early playoff exit. Of course, he also shared that whatever he chose would be after careful consideration with his family and agent. However, there isn’t exactly much free time for the father of three to spend with his beloved James gang, courtesy of the 2024 Paris Olympics. As opposed to his usual norm of “two months of no basketball,” a practice he has been following for the last 4-5 years, the nearly 40-year-old has to ensure he is in form for the training camp scheduled to start on July 6 in Las Vegas.

Under such circumstances, you would expect his family to be cheering for him to keep hustling. While we are sure they do just that, it seems like his beloved wife has something of a complaint. Savannah seems to be in the mood for a little fun right about now. Taking to her Instagram story, James’ Queen shared a clip of a woman sitting on a speed boat, relaxing, and simply soaking in the sun. The mom of three captioned it, “Mentally here . . ..,” suggesting that she would rather spend some time off somewhere far off, relaxing. A well-deserved vacation! For those who might miss the IG story, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the video that Vannah shared.

Given the particularly brutal season, LeBron James and his team had, a relaxing vacation would just be the solution to unwind. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be in the books for the James clan right now. In fact, the ‘King’ was already on the court, getting his shots up in preparation for Team USA. The 4x champion regaled his 159 million Instagram followers with a series of gym photos, decked in Team USA gear and a bandanna, on June 4 with a simple caption – a crown emoji.

There goes Mrs. James’ hopes of sunbathing on the deck of a boat, preferably with a glass of wine. Perhaps she can arrange for an all-girls trip before the whole family gets to Paris for the Olympics? Because, from the looks of it, her husband has no plans of backing away from what could be his last international game.

LeBron James shared his off-season plan to get in shape for the Olympics being mindful of his body

There are no two ways about the dedication and discipline the ‘Akron Hammer’ has when it comes to staying fit. But he does so keeping in mind his body, age, and the extent to which he can take it. The man is in his 21st NBA year and nearing 40! As such, James will have to try a different route this time. “I’m going to kind of switch it up a little bit, I’m not going to be going crazy with my training, whatever the case may be”.

“I’ll probably take the month of May off, give my body an opportunity to rest and then probably around the first or second week of June, I’ll start to get back into the game a little bit,” the all-time scoring leader shared alongside JJ Redick on Mind the Game. With a roster boasting some of the top names of the league, if not a generation, Team Avengers are coming in hot. And LeBron James will be at the helm of it, will look to further fill his Olympics accolade gallery that already has two golds and one bronze.

Bron has undoubtedly aged like fine wine. After surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387-milestone last year in the NBA, he’ll be looking to extend that hustle and positivity to his national performances too, after Team USA’s under-par finish at the FIBA WC.
