LeBron James is still in the best shape he can be even while entering his 20th season with the NBA. Not a lot of players exist(ed) like him and players often fold within 14-15 seasons on average. As a 37-year old, the King managed to outplay much younger superstars at his position especially.
Last season he put to display reasons why he is still the best. He accumulated a series of “oldest players to do so” records under his name. He averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists per game and is a seasons worth of games away from becoming the all-time scoring leader.
LeBron James constantly trains to stay fit and in form
The Los Angeles Lakers forward has been all about redemption and fight. Even when the entire world was against the fact that he “quit” on the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010, the King managed to slowly but surely prove he is the best at what he does. Winning back to back MVPs and NBA titles showed the world what he was capable of.
LeBron James showed the same strength being the best on the 2016 Cavs roster. One big reason why is because of the amount of effort he puts into his craft. During the off-seasons he spends millions on his body in order to train well and stay fit. He also manages to practice basketball to maintain his form with his peers and even with his sons.

I want to know how he does that. He’s been consistent for 18 years. He’s always there.He’s always showing up. That’s unbelievable. He obviously gets credit, but I think we’ve got to give him more credit. Doing it for 18 years guys, that’s hard and hopefully, I can be there. Hopefully, I can do this for 18 years, 20 years.”
