At 38, LeBron James continues to defy age in the NBA. Yet, he has found himself on the Lakers‘ injury report. How does he maintain peak performance? Joe Rogan dove into this subject on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, revealing LeBron’s surprising diet. Despite spending $1.5 million annually on his body, ‘King’ James’ eating habits shocked the UFC commentator.

Rogan, famed for no-holds-barred commentary, found this blend of discipline and indulgence baffling. Currently averaging 25.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists, LeBron’s excellence is undeniable. But with his recent injury, fans and critics alike wonder: How does his lifestyle affect his game?

Train like a beast, eat like… not a beast?

LeBron James invests over $1.5 million annually to stay at the zenith of basketball. This hefty sum goes into advanced training, recovery processes, and diet management. Specifically, LeBron’s regimen includes home gyms, personal trainers, massage therapy, and even cryotherapy chambers to ensure his body remains in peak condition.

In a recent episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Podcast‘, Joe Rogan discussed the Lakers star’s extraordinary commitment to his health. “LeBron spends a lot of money, he’s like famous for spending money on his recovery, right? Massages, cold plunges and saunas. He’s at the very top of his game and he’s worth a billion dollars,” Rogan noted, highlighting LeBron’s investment in his physical well-being.

Rogan, always curious about the minutiae of athletic excellence, then shifted the conversation to LeBron’s diet, revealing a more surprising aspect of his lifestyle. “LeBron James’ diet reveals he eats like sh*t but trains,” Rogan said, eliciting a clarification from Young Jamie, his behind-the-scenes staff. “Well, I don’t know what this article is. He eats a lot of candy but that’s when he was younger, too. He’s also slimmed down from where he was back when he was younger… Now he’s probably close to like 260.”

Rogan observed, “Okay, so he definitely looks slimmer in that picture than he did in the other picture where he was lifting weights,” illustrating the balance the NBA star has achieved between rigorous training and dietary indulgences. Now, will LeBron James be able to make it to Lakers’ next game?
